Siegel's Plan to Inflate Real Estate Market Faces Criticism in Latest 'The Curse' Episode

Asher and Whitney Siegel grapple with personal issues, a curse, and a moral quandary as they continue their mission to artificially inflate the real estate market in La Española.

The latest episode of 'The Curse' reveals the Siegel's plan to inflate the real estate market in La Española through their not-yet-picked-up-to-series HGTV “passive home” reno show, which is facing criticism from a focus group for being boring.
Asher and Whitney Siegel, played by Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone, continue to grapple with personal and professional issues, including an ectopic pregnancy and a curse placed on Asher by a young girl named Nala.
Asher overpays for a property at an auction, which turns out to be occupied by Nala and her family, leading to a moral quandary as the Siegels decide to let the family live there rent-free for a year.
The Siegels' attempt to create a relatable moment for their social media backfires, leading to a heated argument about racism and their perceptions of each other, all caught on camera.
Whitney's attempt to save face after one of their joint investors pulls their business in La Española leads to hiring Fernando, a local they had promised a job at a now-shuttered coffee shop, as a security guard.
