Episode Summary

Nell gives Addy a loan to buy a new dress to attend a gala event, knowing that she will pay her back in no time at all. As time passes, rather than pay Nell back, Addy spends money "like a drunken sailor", loaning it to other people, and making donations. Everyone tells Nell that Addy is a saint for giving them money when they need it, but Nell is mad that Addy has not paid her back the money she borrowed from her. Nell goes to Marty for advice, and he insists that Nell makes a contract, but she gets mad and rips it up.

  • Nell: This is all just a horrible, horrible dream. Just like Dallas.

    This is a reference to the TV show Dallas, specifically episode "Return to Camelot". One of the major characters was killed off, and later brought back by having the whole previous season being a dream. []
