It's a sad day at Jeff Lewis' office. Jeff is telling Jenni how it all went down with Seacrest and he's bummed that Seacrest has shown no loyalty or felt any sense of obligation to help Jeff especially since Jeff helped him over the past decade. Oh, and he's also trying - in a not so subtle manner - to get Jenni to wear the Team Jeff t-shirt. Like it would be so difficult.

Jeff tells her that he sat back and gathered ammunition to use against Seacrest to make sure he had a number of things to go to him with. When Jeff finally confronted him, he expected some apology for something but only got "it's just good business." Yeah, it's good business if you have no soul.

Jeff also explains to Jenni that it's about her. You know, when our business slowed down and you almost lost your job <> and Seacrest's business was growing? Where was Seacrest? This is about you too, Jenni. In case you didn't know.

Seacrest is at home with his daughter, Chloe, and has his hand up a girl's skirt.

We're treated to a brief puppet show where we're supposed to believe that Seacrest is not a douche.

Seacrest is having a hard time with the Jeff situation because he can't believe that his best friend doesn't believe him when he says he didn't try to screw him over when all evidence points to the contrary. In fact, he just blames Jeff's OCD. Because OCD makes you unreasonable when you find out your former best friend and business partner is co-opting your name and misleading potential clients who call said former best friend's business thinking they're going to reach you.

Seacrest wants things to go back to the way they were even though he's never going to get an apology from Jeff. Wow. Seacrest is truly the bigger man here. But he's had enough with the puppet show and wants to look for the pool guy. Which is infinitely more fun than having your hand up a girl's skirt.

Seacrest goes outside to talk to the contractor. He and Dale have decided to move outside of LA and think that spending $100K to install a pool and new landscaping on their existing house will bring in a purchase price of $200K or $300K more when they try to sell it. In California. In this market. Great idea. When can I hire you, Seacrest, because you clearly have your finger on the pulse of real estate?

Woo hoo! Lunch time at Jeff Lewis' office and today's target is . . .Trace! Trace is prepping for finals and Jeff asks if his friends have internships also. Perhaps at Brown Design? Trace has a friend that is doing some store for someone but she can't do it and might ask Trace to do the presentation. Is that how school works these days? If you can't do your final, you're allowed to bring in a designated hitter?

Jeff explains that we do not moonlight at Jeff Lewis' office. But the reprimand is cut short when Trace informs Jeff that Jeff is responsible for grading Trace's final and has the power to screw up his GPA.

Well now, this changes everything. Jeff was worried that Trace would quit at a moment's notice since he wasn't a paid intern but now he has something on him. He's a little drunk with (more) power. At least he's honest about it.

Jeff asks Trace when he's going to have time to work on this other project that has nothing to do with Jeff Lewis Design. It's the subtlety that I love. Trace assures Jeff he'll only work on his own time. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either since Trace is expected to think about Jeff and Jeff's business at all hours of the day.

Trace thinks that Jeff could hold the grade over his head to manipulate and blackmail him. Gee, you think.
