Mary and George saw their granddaughter Ellie become a strong young woman, and they knew it was time to teach her a good lesson about love and trust.
Fears had been made about Ellie’s relationship with Tom, her older boyfriend. Mary felt something was wrong with him, even though he seemed nice.
Ellie showed up at their door one Sunday morning and asked them to sell their beloved house to help fund Tom’s new business. Mary and George were scared by the request because it was filled with laziness and need.
They knew that talking to Ellie directly would make her want to stay away, so they came up with a way to let her know what Tom really wanted.
George used their tech-savvy friend Johnny to help him make a fake lottery ticket. The ticket was sent to Tom without his name on it, and the outcome was terrible.
Tom showed his real colors when he left Ellie, which showed that he was only looking out for himself.

Ellie learned an important lesson from Mary and George’s advice: trust your gut and put self-love first.
Lesson Learned: Ellie came out of it stronger, smarter, and thankful for her grandparents’ help.
Mary and George’s unusual method saved Ellie from a relationship that could have gone badly, showing that tough love is sometimes the best kind of love.
