## Summary

Assistant and Wallis go after Harold to get Wallis' money back. Wallis spots a hobo that Harold knows and after giving him some candy he tells them where he lives. Harold returns from clothes shopping (and stealing some canned cheese), and after Hobo asks about his clothes he reveals that he told Wallis where he lived. He doesn't see Wallis but then realizes that he and the Assistant are on a cloud above them. Harold tells Wallis he used his money on his expensive new clothes, and Wallis shows that he has Harold's favorite stuffed bear, Mr. Monocle. He begs for it back, and eventually, Wallis comes down, where they both fight. During the fight, Harold asks if Wallis thinks he's so much better than him, and he says that he does. Because he doesn't steal from family or lives on the streets, and that he isn't "a loser". Harold slips, dropping his weapon, and is forced to give back the money. Wallis tells him that he's missing almost $400 and that Harold will need to work for him to pay him back. He resists at first, but when Wallis threatens to involve the police, he is forced to give in. The random guard appears saying he was looking everywhere for Wallis, and he tells him to bring over the limo to "escort our new employees home".

Assistant, Wallis, and Harold go to Wallis' mansion via limo. Assistant briefly falls asleep and accidentally leans on Harold's shoulder, which makes Wallis scream about Harold being "such a pervert" for "touching a girl while she's sleeping". Assistant wakes up and Harold is super embarrassed, all while Wallis laughs and continues teasing him. Assistant explains that she's so tired from everything that's happened, and says that she sort of got kicked out of her house and realizes that she is all on her own. At first, she looks motivated as she got a job with a famous magician on her first day away from home, saying she's on top of the world, but then immediately has another breakdown over her hair looking so colorful. Harold guesses that Wallis did this and his excuse is he "can't have an assistant who doesn't look the look", and that he makes up for it by giving her an awesome job and saving her from being homeless.

They eventually get to Wallis' mansion, and when Assistant sees his giant beautiful house she flips out and gushes about how amazing everything looks, and also hugs the fountain. Wallis tells her to stop and they all go inside. Wallis tells Assistant that her job isn't going to be easy, and he expects no less than perfection. They eat dinner and read some creepy fan mail that disturbs Wallis, afterward he goes to bed and tells Assistant that she'll be sleeping in his old assistant's bedroom. Harold takes her there, and she asks him if he'll be okay after what happened. He simply responds that everything Wallis said was true and that siblings always fight. Assistant also asks what happened to the old assistant, but Harold says that it isn't his business to talk about it.

Assistant turns on the lights in her new bedroom, realizing that everything in the room is covered in pink and cute things. This weirds her out, as she doesn't like bright or cutesy looking things. She's forced to wear the old assistant's pajamas considering she has none of her clothes, and goes to bed, thinking about how great her day has been, and that she's happy about her new life and her decision to leave home. Right before she falls asleep she has to stop herself from getting upset over how crazy her day was, but she is excited about what the future holds for her.

The next scene shows Wallis' old assistant talking with her psychologist. The doctor says she's made a great improvement and has been passing her tests. She will soon be able to leave, and before she is dismissed she tells the doctor that she doesn't feel like she should still be called "assistant" considering she is no longer Wallis' assistant. She says her name is Cake Girl, for her love of pastries, and that once she's released she may start a bakery. The doctor congratulates her for getting over her grudge for Wallis, and Cake Girl responds in a sinister way about how she tries to *never* hold a grudge.
