As they were reconnecting, Janelle brought up a big annoyance she discovered in the family. She let Christine know that she decided to meet with Meri Brown and bring it to her attention that the Coyote Pass property seems to be an impending ticking time bomb if they don’t act fast. Since Janelle was aware that the property agreement had a lump payment coming due that could make or break the contract, she wanted Meri to protect herself. However, Janelle wasn’t getting much information from Kody about where the money was coming from. Furthermore, she knew the land could be repossessed if they did locate the means to pay it.
