Comment:

 Just to be clear the day can be ended and the 2 points gotten if the user
 shows barbie the shoe **after** talking about Garcia. So you can show her
 the shoe before then or not.

 At this point in the game it is clear to the player that they must show
 Barbie that shoe. It was found on Yo Money's lawn who is known to have
 women from Barbie's place and the lady you first talk to at the strip join
 says that barbie probably know who's shoe it is and that she would be back
 later.

 Therefore, when the user shows Barbie that shoe initially they will have
 satisfied that requirement, but the game has a further requirement that
 you must show it after talking about Garcia.

 When the player gets to the end of the day and it does not end they will
 not know what they did not do since they will believe they did everything
 (if they don't have a guide).

 Since there is no different dialogue difference for showing the shoe
 before or after talking to Barbie about Garcia it seems like a good
 solution would be to give you those 2 points if you have showed Barbie
 that shoe and talked about Garcia **in either order**.

 I have a hard time believing that most people won't get stuck because of
 this.
