Film/Episode Summary: When Ray is unappreciative of Debra’s efforts to maintain a proper checkbook and plan a budget, she asks him to take care of it. He ends up bouncing some important checks and the power is cut-off. He tries to borrow money from Robert and lies to him that Debra has spending issues. When he tries to rectify his mistakes with a fake checkbook and trying to put money in the bank before Debra realizes the situation, he is caught. Debra then takes over the house finance again.
