Lucky

In 2008, when Lucky arrives at Priscilla’s Place, Lucky claims to be Jean Fantine, a homeless woman without identification. She is given intake paperwork to fill out, then given a tour and directed to her sleeping unit, which has its own lock and no roommate. At dinner that evening, Priscilla conducts a sermon about dignity. Lucky tries to sneak out without talking to Priscilla, but Priscilla starts a conversation with her. It is interrupted by a dog running up to Lucky—the dog that Cary got her in the 90s.

After school one day, Lucky comes back to Priscilla’s house, where Cary is holding a party for the Stanford students whom he is conning. He goes over details of his and her fake identities—and gives her an expensive dress to wear—before the guests arrive. She has to pretend to be a party girl for this con. Guests include Aaron and Magnolia, who invite Cary and Lucky to Madrid. During their trip, Cary mentions that he is having financial troubles and is going to lose the house. This is because it is being repossessed from Priscilla, but Cary doesn’t mention that. Another guest from the party, Hugh, gives Lucky and Cary the use of a coach house on his family’s property in Alamo.
