Big, Screwed-Up Family: The reading of the Red's will says everything viewers need to know about Red's family; all of his children have brought lawyers and clearly only care about the amount of money they'll be getting, and try to argue with Hamilton when they receive less than they think they deserve. Red's personal comments in the will allude to some of their bad habits, including a long string of failed marriages and being an Upper-Class Twit. Red later opens his Video Will by admitting to Jason that for all his business success, he did a terrible job of raising his family right. | |

Bait-and-Switch: After Jason receives a hundred million dollars, a brief montage plays of him back in his old apartment, talking on the phone about cars and interior design, implying he's succumbed to Aesop Amnesia and gone back to his old ways. Then comes a big meeting where he unveils what he's been working on: a home for children with terminal illnesses and their families, inspired by and named after Emily. And every cent of the hundred million is going toward building it, in addition to whatever money Jason spent on planning and design offscreen. | |
