Plot: Melissa Hao (Michelle Yeoh) is delighted, she has everything she needs to have another juicy article about the Jones agency. On of their agent, Robert “Bob” Hollis (Rainn Wilson) is fighting with known Russian mob boss Boris Shelkovina (William Forsythe) and she has everything on camera. She gets her car running and she drives away. Bob tries to ease Boris and he finally gets him to calm when he opens up about their shared hatred of the germaphobe Mark. Boris tells Bob that he should’ve seen his face when he cut through his hand and he starts to laugh maniacally. Bob laughs too, but he’s unsure how to react and he doesn’t really know who’s standing in front of him. Shelkovina asks Bob who he’s working for and Bob says he’s just… Bob. Then, Shelkovina tells him to get out of the Russian’s turf. He will have to kill him if he has to. Bob laughs at the threat and Boris turns around to tell him he’s really serious. Bob looks at the peculiar man walking away only to realise he will leave too, because Mark isn’t home.

The following morning, Andrea (Caroline Dhavernas) and Wilson (Brian d’Arcy James) arrive at the agency, only to see Bob asleep at his desk. He worked all night and he fell asleep, exhausted. They wake him up and tell him to get prepared, they have something juicy planned for today. They recap what happened yesterday to Bob who suspiciously wasn’t there and he seemed to be fascinated with the new, confident Miranda. It then brings the question ; why was Mark looking for him ? Bob dismisses it, he doesn’t want to answer that question right now. Miranda arrives with Desmond (Chris Colfer) by her side. She enters her office and Wilson asks if Miranda… and Desmond nods, knowing what Wilson was going to say. Andrea is shocked and she says she has so many questions. Miranda says her personal life is none of their business and she puts her finger over Desmond’s mouth. Bob just has to ask; are they sleeping together ? Miranda and Desmond are disgusted, of course not. Wilson doesn’t understand, Desmond basically confirmed it and Miranda suggestively shushed him. Desmond thought he was going to ask her if they were living together and they are. Andrea thinks it’s sweet that his mind didn’t think of something sexual. They put the issue to rest and focus about something much more important. Miranda’s trial against Melissa Hao is tomorrow and Andrea has a little something to prepare Miranda for the trial, even better than the mock trial with Martin Freeman. Miranda is sure that’s impossible, she absolutely crushed him. Wilson notes they like her new confidence but there’s no way that mock trial will prepare her for tomorrow.

Andrea called a client of hers and since she owed Andrea a favor, she agreed to do it for free. Bob makes a sarcastic comment about the insane amount of money she spent on getting Puddn’head Wilson. Her friend, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) will act all bitchy and confronting with Miranda and the new, all-confident Miranda will have to keep her cool and be chill about everything. Miranda notes she used to be good at not caring, so it shouldn’t be a problem. 

Boris is finally able to get a hold of Mark in his favorite restaurant, the same place where he stabbed him in the hand. Boris’ guards empty the place, leaving Boris and Mark alone with a scared waiter. Boris thought about it and he believes he deserves a cut of Mark’s deal with Bob, he operates on his turf after all. Mark refuses to give him a penny, he doesn’t have any cash on hand. He gave a large part of his loaning money to Bob and doesn’t want to give away a penny more. Boris reminds him what happened to his hand and it says it would be too bad if someone decided to do the same thing with his throat. Boris takes a bite of Mark’s hamburger and pats him on the cheek. Mark looks disgusted as Boris walks away, but even in disgust, he smiles. He turns off a recording device he hid in his napkin. He has Shelkovina on tape threatening him.

Rosie arrives and, as instructed by Andrea, confronts Miranda about her looks. Miranda immediately loses her cool and calls her a mean bitch. Wilson notes that it’s a good start, but try less confident and nicer. She apologizes to Rosie and calms down. Andrea rewards her with a coupon to her favorite massage place. Wilson asks her how she got so good at this and Andrea says taking care of Miranda is a lot like dealing with kids and she’s quite good at that. Bob, on the other hand, asks Rosie she got so good at this. She reminds him she’s been a model for years and she just needs to remember how some of her colleagues used to act. Bob says she clearly has the looks of a model and he used to be a fan of her work, wink. She points at her engagement ring and tells him to shop elsewhere. Miranda heard their conversation and she says the old Bob Hollis trick didn’t work again, he’s not really good as of late. Wilson says that was funny and polite, they’re on the right path. Bob looks uncomfortable and looks away. The others think he’s embarrassed, but Bob noticed Mark came by and he wants to have a chat outside. Bob is pulled into Mark’s car and they drive away. Andrea notices Bob didn’t leave in his car, but she can’t quite put the finger on whose car it is.

Mark tells Bob he left him two voicemails today, asking to talk, but he didn’t answer, so that’s why he came all the way over here to get him. He’s here to ask Bob about his money. He wants half of the amount back so he can pay off Boris Shelkovina. Bob says Boris and him had a deal that he wouldn’t need to give him anything. Mark says Boris doesn’t care anymore and you don’t want to piss off someone like him, referring to his hand injury. Since Bob doesn’t have any money, Mark offers him to pay Boris out of his own pocket and just add that amount to his debt. Bob reluctantly accepts and Mark reminds him of the sum he owes him, noting that it keeps piling up with the interests.

Wilson prepares Rosie for the final assault, the rapid fire round and Andrea preps Miranda to not bulge and just take it in. Rosie unloads a flurry of insults at Miranda and it ends with her calling Jones a mean old bitch who doesn’t deserve to be loved. She accepts the insults and now Miranda just learned how to act professionally in court. You don’t raise your voice, you wait for your turn to speak and you stay polite. They thank Rosie for her help and she says it was actually kind of fun. As she leaves, Andrea tries to take her voicemails, but she realises she’s at Bob’s desk. She hears the threatening message Mark left him.
