Plot: Wilson (Brian d’Arcy James) is reading the newspaper sitting on the toilet when he starts feeling his feet getting wet. He’s discouraged, cursing at himself that it happened again, but when he looks at his feet, he realises the bathroom is flooding. He gets off the toilet and leaves, telling everyone the bathroom is flooding. Andrea (Caroline Dhavernas) is also coming out of the women’s bathroom and she says the same thing. Miranda (Lesley Manville) says she got this covered and enters the bathroom. Desmond (Chris Colfer) looks worried and Andrea goes right back in and gets Miranda out. They look at Bob (Rainn Wilson) and say he looks like someone who’s handy. Bob rolls his sleeves up and says that he was waiting for them to ask. He will need some tools and he asks Wilson to go get them in the janitor’s office and Wilson says he’s scared of this place, but he has no choice. He goes in the dark corner where the janitor’s office is. It’s a dark corner that nobody there during the day. The door is locked, they’ll have no choice but to call the janitor. In the meantime, Bob will go home and get his own tools. 

Bob comes back with his impressive set of tools and heads for the bathroom. He looks at the pipes and identifies the faulty one. He tries to fix it, but it bursts open, increasing the water flow. Water is now completely ruining the carpet and it doesn’t look like it will stop soon. Bob confesses that he has no idea what he’s doing and everyone starts to panic and they get things off the floor. They believe they will be saved by Janitor Ed (Kirk Fox) who enters the office, drunk as a skunk. When they see he has a hard time walking in a straight line, their hopes are diminished. Ed unlocks the door to his office and they grab the tools and Ed heads to the bathroom to fix the pipes. On his way to the bathroom, he lays eyes on Miranda and he starts to flirt with her, despite her disdain. Wilson pushes him inside the bathroom and he goes near the pipes. He rests his head against the wall and he falls asleep. 

The water continues to flood the office and Bob and Wilson finally decide to go and see what’s going on with Ed in the bathroom. They notice he’s asleep and they drag him out and throw him on the floor, laying in a pool of water. They don’t know what to do anymore. Bob looks at his watch and he says he’s late for his meeting with Sirius and everybody asks who is that and he says it’s his lawyer. Andrea has a similar reaction when looking at the time, she has a client coming in soon. She says she’ll call to reschedule the meeting, but when she starts calling, she can hear the ringtone. Her client, Daniel Craig (Daniel Craig) is already here. When she sees him, Miranda starts screaming like a little girl and starts running towards him. She slips on the wet floor and falls on the ground face first.

Daniel Craig carries Miranda back in her office and before he sits her on the chair, Wilson asks if he can take a picture of them, Miranda will love it. Daniel accepts, but asks them if they anything better to do, since their offices are flooding. Andrea apologizes profusely and she says that nobody here was able to stop it and they don’t know what to do. Daniel suggests they could turn off the water supply and they say it’s a good idea. Desmond starts laughing and says he’s surprised that they didn’t even think about it. They tell him he should’ve said something and he reminds them that he tried, but Bob refused to listen to him and to let the real men talk about it. Daniel turns off the water supply and water stops bursting out of the pipes. Andrea then suggests that they could go elsewhere and talk about his contract and Daniel gets upset, because they clearly have something more urgent to deal with. He orders Wilson to go and check on Miranda, she hit her head pretty hard. 

Daniel Craig goes in the bathroom with Bob’s tools and he starts fixing the pipes himself. Andrea reminds him that it isn’t necessary, but Daniel is focusing on the pipes and he doesn’t respond to her. Wilson talks to Miranda, who regained consciousness and he asks her to follow his finger, but she seems alright, if not for her very visible bruise she has on the forehead. She pushes Wilson out of the way and asks to see Daniel Craig. She calls his name, but he doesn’t answer. She asks Desmond, who’s still working and the only who’s still calm and he says he’s fixing the pipes in the men’s bathroom. She runs in there and hugs him, saying she’s a huge fan and he’s their saviour. The force of the hug pushes them to the ground and they both get wet. Miranda doesn’t let go of him and she says she’s like a Bond girl in a Bond film. Daniel carries her out of the bathroom and Miranda is on cloud nine. On his way out, Daniel whispers to Andrea that he doesn’t want to see Miranda again until he’s done. Since he’s soaking wet, he takes off his shirt and at the sight of a shirtless Daniel Craig, Miranda passes out and Wilson rushes to her help.

Daniel is now done fixing the pipes and Andrea says she can’t thank him enough.  He shrugs it off and he says he’ll deduct it from her next cut and he smiles. He can hear Miranda calling for him outside and he tells Andrea that he doesn’t want to see her again. She helps him get out of the office by the bathroom’s window and she thanks him again before getting out of the bathroom and telling Miranda that she missed him. She says it’s impossible, she just heard him talking and she starts looking for him around the office. As she wanders around calling for her hero Daniel Craig, Andrea and Wilson realises the office is in ruins, water got everywhere. They’ll have to redo the carpets and it probably got into the walls. They call Bob to ask him how his meeting with the lawyer went and to tell him what happened at the office and he says everything went well. He’s sitting at a bar and he smiles, telling them they won’t have to worry about the office, he has them covered. He looks at a settlement in his hands and he hangs up. He clinks his glass with Sirius’ and they drink to celebrate a victory.
