Synopsis[]
Sam and Jay are forced to cover when Mark demands to meet the silent investor in Jay's restaurant who has been holding up construction.
Plot[]
After Isaac turns down yet another tile sample for Jay's restaurant, Mark wants to speak to the restaurant's investor on the matter with the opening deadline approaching, unaware that the investor is Isaac. Against Jay's warning, Sam hires Kelsey, the con artist who previously feigned being her cousin, to play the part of the investor. She keeps trying to convince Kelsey to leave, but Kelsey becomes so absorbed by the false narrative she spins that she cons $15,000 off of Mark.
To convince Mark to withdraw the check he gave Kelsey, Sam tries telling the truth but claims the scam was Jay's idea and that Mahesh was the investor. Isaac finally agrees to let the Arondekars have more of a voice in planning the restaurant. Meanwhile, Hetty asks Sam to investigate her ancestry, hoping to find out if she is descended from royalty, but she is horrified to learn she has an Irish ancestor named Mary Shaughnessy.
Thorfinn, who observed Mary's arrival in America, explains to Hetty that he kept this a secret to comfort her, which evokes her warm memories of her ability to see him in her childhood. Pete and Trevor then teach Hetty more about Irish history and culture using the Internet.
