Complete story — includes the ending

After Brock and Barbra Jean get audited, Brock informs Reba that the IRS is going to audit the last 3 years of their marriage. Later, Brock makes Reba nervous when she discovers that he doesn't want the IRS to find out about how in 1998, he donated money to a charity that turned out to be a scam. Meanwhile, Cheyenne makes Van take part in her sociology project about a man's perspective on marriage, but she certainly was not anticipating all the attention he would receive from the women in her class. In the end of the episode, Reba and Brock think they’re off the hock until Reba gets a call saying they owe $75,000 after Barbra Jean ratted them out. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Barbra Jean and Brock cry about what just happened. Absent: Scarlett Pomers as Kyra Hart
