I know we can't always have an assertive and confident character, but I think Rick is the person that is starting to get on my nerves. I know he had trauma in his life, but he really should learn to say no. I suspected, and this chapter all but confirmed, that Rita is a con. She needs Rick for credibility, as I suspected she doesn't have funds in the end. I thought no she wants to buy, not pay immediately, sell with a profit, and only then taking care of bills. She probably think the rural ppl as naive and a good target.
