As he continues looking for work, He finds a man named Armand McMillan whose car is broken down and tries to help before ending up getting stuck under Armand's car.

Edison attends the funeral before he and Armand's nephew Bradford McMillan watch a video tape of the last moments of Armand before his pass. Armand gives the company to Edison even though they've only met one time.
Edison arrives at McMillan Industries Bradford shows Edison around the factory. Later, fellow worker Natalie Stockwell informs Edison to look over payments due to workers starting to go on strike. Edison decides to make changes that if McMillan Industries does well then he will pay them. Bradford takes Edison to a tennis court to bond with him. After they finish playing tennis Bradford tricks Edison into making bad business decisions causing him to lose the company and a fake news report was made about his famous TV dinners that were infected with radiation poisoning. Edison gets evicted from his house until he finds out that the man in the new report wasn't infected at all and makes it back to McMillan Industries and confronts Bradford for scamming and lying to take controll of the company. He finds Bradford wearing his invention called the 'bullshirt' (an invention that detects if someone is lying). Bradford gets arrested before Edison gets the company back and gains his love back to Natalie.
