Karen asks that you help her pick it up at the Winery, so agree to help to make Karen happy. When you get to the Winery, you find a lot more then you bargained for.

Example: You try to see the green heart event between Rick and Karen, but you have Karen at a red heart. Karen likes you more then Rick, and you will not be able to see the event.
