The doctor’s orders are backed by John’s folks, who dispose of their son’s entire candy stash and have control over his spending money. Whilst on his excursion he sees a coin on the ground. However, when he studies the coin he sees it is engraved with the image of a fat boy and the letters JM, and dismisses it as a unknown token.
