Lexi lowers the price to $8 and Carl walks away happy. Sam, who was standing nearby, compliments Lexi on making a good decision.

Not really sure, Lexi tells Builder to take the drill home and try it. She tells him that if the drill doesn't do the job, he can always return it for a full refund. Happy with Lexi's answer, Builder thanks her and leaves with the drill.
Unfortunately, the drill is only suitable for drilling in wood and as a result of his efforts, the drill overheats and Builder receives a nasty burn on his hand that prevents him from working for several days.
