Meanwhile, when Jerry's quote from an old Star Trek movie prompts Susan's parents to start a foundation in her memory, they ask George to be on its board of directors. And it's at the first meeting that he learns of the Rosses considerable fortune, one he would have inherited if only Susan had lived.

And when told that his inspirational words were from another Star Trek film, things take a turn for the worse.
