Chris…
Actually, “what goes around comes around” is more often used when someone does sth dishonest or otherwise bad, that they will pay for it. Mmmmm. When you do something good, the only one I can think of is “no good deed goes unpunished”! meaning that when you do some good deed, it often comes back to bite you in the butt (people take advantage of you). All that notwithstanding, it’s a great thing to do favours when you can manage to do so, as it’s good for you and makes you a more gracious and thoughtful person. Builds character. Great that you got a more direct benefit from it as well!
Oh - oops… i’ve heard the last episodes without recognizing the start of the new one
