"The Insurance Check Showdown & Suicide Theater"

This episode covers late September 2023, as Amy desperately tries to retrieve her client files while Gary weaponizes them as leverage. A $48,000 insurance check for Gary's "missing" Rolex requires both signatures—his fraud attempt becomes Amy's tool to demand $15,000 of her stolen money back. With only $1,000 left in her accounts while Gary controls $120,000+ of her earnings, Amy is in a financial pressure cooker. Through recorded phone calls, Amy exposes Gary's tactics: admitting files are leverage then denying it, demanding empathy while showing none, and revealing it's all about "winning vs. losing." After days of text warfare where Gary reveals his "CB" (cunt bitch) ranking system and threatens to burn irreplaceable client wills, they meet at Prosperity Bank. The simple transaction explodes when Gary screams "you're an IV meth addict" across the lobby—Amy hits him; both get banned. Gary then stages an elaborate suicide: 40 2mg Xanax bars in the bathtub, demanding Amy hold his head underwater while a "scheduled email" sends her passwords and access to financial accounts. Amy considers it, refuses, and flees with his laptop and phone as he goes face-down in the water. He survives, camps outside her mom's house at 3am, and pounds on the door at 7am—furious she didn't let him die.

Phoenix, B*tch.
