Granted, Pru wants the Fuse to succeed and, with the camp failure, she’s vulnerable to this kind of pitch. However, this twist gives Les’s character an opportunity to change, especially if his mom’s plans are worse than even he expected. Both Pru and his mom trust him so the “party” will force him to choose a side. Knowing Les, he’ll probably disappoint both women equally and manage to hold onto his job through (barely) plausible deniability.
