Unfortunately, Marty makes an enemy out of MetroCapital's number two guy Greg Norbert in the process because the stripper he passed off as his wife had sex with Greg's wife. Their biggest business rivals - run by his ex wife with whom he continues to have sex with sometimes - are also offered the job. They manage to get hired by inventing a debt cancellation campaign which will have a big publicity impact but cost very little. Back at home, Marty gets some unwanted advice on how to raise his son Roscoe from Jeremiah Kaan, Marty's live-in father, when Roscoe decides to audition for the female lead in a school play. | |||||||

Marty arrives at the offices to find Greg Norbert there to announce the possible acquisition of Galweather by MetroCapital. The Pod then flies to Indiana to consult for a beverage company, where Marty applies his management skills to turn a loss into a win. The company wants to run some improvement program which may very well turn out horribly. In the end, they get fired not advising to run the program, but get hired by another company since Marty forecasts that the company will go broke very soon. Meanwhile, Clyde questions whether Doug actually hooked up with a transvestite (which he did), and Roscoe struggles with the confusing feelings of liking both a boy and a girl. Marty and his father suffer in silence because it's the anniversary of his wife's suicide. | |||||||

Hoping to get some quality time with his dad, Roscoe ends up spending it all with the Pod instead, as Marty is forced to babysit Alex Katsnelson, the 20-year old CEO of a security software company. Roscoe tells Doug he's being bullied at school to which Doug answers that (himself having been bullied) it's pure envy from the others. They get Alex to retreat by himself in order not to get kicked out, and also to have him hire them. Meanwhile, Jeannie reacts to her recent engagement by having a tryst with Kurt, a tortured musician she meets in a coffee house.

Meanwhile, Doug sets out to prove to Clyde that he can coach any one of the possible recruits onto 'the list', in the end winning, but being severely embarrassed.
