After Colin Dowling invites David and Will to speak at a board meeting about the lease agreement he made with the Carvers, Will tells David that the land they've leased Colin is actually worthless and he plans on revealing the information at the presentation to humiliate Dowling in front of the investors. Meanwhile, Shelly invites Michael over to a place that Sam is house-sitting so they can have some time alone together. When they trip the silent alarm, Sam is hurt and angered to discover Shelly and Michael in a compromising position.
