Mr. Smith says to forget it and gives Ivan the money, they fight over it. Mr. Smith has his assistant go after Ivan. 

Episode Review:
While watching Chase and Tyler chase after gold coins is mildly funny, Ivan is not a fully dimensional character to fulfill a whole episode. He not only is a fish out of water but also seem to lack common sense. If he is going to a bank, even in the medieval ages, he had to have some sort of proof. And to even hit the suit of armor lacked common sense. I'm not saying Davi Santos is a bad actor but the character is just badly written and flat. And why didn't Kendall intervene with Ivan's check and just took the money in the name of the museum? Yes I am upset that Kendall doesn't transform and helm her own zord but meh, what are you going to do? She's not in the footage and even though they shoot new footage, that would mean another person to suit up and props to place
