  • John had abandoned her at a motel and stolen a teddy bear he believed held the access codes, but Lucky anticipated the betrayal and replaced them with a recorded goodbye.
  • A childhood flashback shows John nearly letting young Lucky drown during a con, underscoring why she decides he was willing to risk her life for scams and she no longer is.
