Ep 22. Make It Rain, Girl

Make It Rain, Girl is the 22nd episode of season 2 of the hit reality show Storage Wars. In this episode, the bidding wars are heating up as the veteran buyers face off against each other in their quest to find the best deals in abandoned storage units across Southern California.

The episode begins with the buyers gathering at their first auction of the day in Ontario. The units up for grabs range from small 5x5 lockers to larger 10x20 units filled with furniture and household items. As usual, there is a lot of posturing and trash talk among the buyers, each trying to intimidate their rivals into backing down.

First up is Dave Hester, the self-proclaimed "King of Storage Wars." Dave is determined to come out on top and starts the bidding on a 10x10 unit at $1,000. There are a few other bidders, but Dave manages to outbid them all and wins the unit for $1,700. When he opens the door to the unit, he finds a treasure trove of items including a vintage jukebox, an antique roll-top desk, and a collection of vinyl records. Dave is ecstatic and estimates that he can make a profit of $10,000 or more on these items.

Next up is Jarrod Schulz and his girlfriend Brandi Passante. Jarrod and Brandi are known for being more conservative in their bidding, but they are still formidable opponents. They manage to snag a smaller 5x10 unit for $300. Inside, they find a few boxes of household items and some vintage clothing. While the contents of the unit might not be worth as much as Dave's, Jarrod and Brandi are confident that they can still make a decent profit.

The other buyers, Barry Weiss, Darrell Sheets, and Nabila Haniss, also find some interesting units, but the real drama of the episode comes towards the end of the day.

At their final auction in Escondido, the buyers are bidding on a large 10x20 unit that has piqued everyone's interest. The bidding starts off slow, with Dave and Darrell being the only bidders. But then, a new buyer enters the fray - Emily Wears, a young woman who has recently started her own resale business.

The veteran buyers are skeptical of Emily at first, assuming she won't be able to keep up with them. But Emily proves them wrong by outbidding both Dave and Darrell, ultimately winning the unit for $4,000. When she opens the door to the unit, the other buyers are shocked to see that it is packed to the brim with high-end designer clothing, shoes, and handbags.

Emily is thrilled with her purchase and estimates that the unit contains over $30,000 worth of merchandise. But she knows that the real challenge will be selling it all quickly to make a profit. The other buyers are impressed with Emily's spunk and determination, and offer her some tips on how to navigate the often cutthroat world of storage unit resale.

In the end, everyone walks away with some great finds, but Emily is the real star of the show. Her ability to hold her own against the veteran buyers and make such a lucrative purchase is a testament to her skills as a businesswoman. As the episode ends, viewers are left wondering what adventures the buyers will have in future episodes.
