## Summary

*Jonah ingratiates himself to Glenn, Bo is hired, Amy and Garrett search for the owner of some photos.*

## Plot

In Glenn's Office, Bo interviews for a job at the store with Cheyenne's help to make money for their wedding. He doesn't understand that Glenn is the hiring manager and answers all the questions flippantly until Cheyenne wises him up. He then insincerely says what Glenn wants to hear. In the Break Room, Glenn introduces Bo who is wearing an offensive t shirt. He also announces that they'll be spring cleaning and makes a bad pun which only Jonah laughs at. Jonah is trying to ingratiate himself to Glenn as he is dating his daughter Kristen. Jonah lets slip he saw her that morning and lies that he met her for a very early breakfast. Bo says they are getting some "morning action". The staff are shown in various cleaning activities around the store. (♫ The High Decibels - Duke's Gonna Get Em ♫)

Amy and Garrett find photos that a customer never picked up. Jonah tells them he wishes Glenn was more excited about him dating Kristen. Mateo is trying to train Bo who doesn't care. Bo thinks he can make a fast buck at the store but after hearing how much Myrtle has saved in 30 years, he's discouraged. Amy and Garrett think the woman in the photos might have been an employee and ask Tate if he recognizes her. Tate thinks she was on a number of drugs but then remembers that the person on the drugs he's mentioned is Carol. Bo watches Dina count cash from a till and gets ideas. Jonah brings Glenn some coffee and they make their first lunch plans.

Glenn and Jonah have lunch at El Norte, a Mexican restaurant. Glenn doesn't know Mexican food so Jonah orders for them. He and Jonah get to know one another but Glenn asks Jonah very odd questions and finds Jonah's more traditional questions strange. Bo starts casing the store by starting at the Pharmacy where he asks Tate how someone who stole all the oxycodone in the store would sell it. Cheyenne asks Bo to get back to work and reminds him how lucky he is to have the job. At the restaurant, Glenn wants to stay longer but Jonah tells him the other employees might get jealous if Jonah has too long a lunch. Amy has turned the search for the photo owner into a full blown investigation that Garrett says is getting into "Carol territory".

Bo wanders into the Surveillance Office and compliments Dina. He expresses an interest in security and Dina starts to show him the ropes. Glenn makes Jonah his assistant and indicates they can now hang out all day. Jonah is next seen wearing one of Glenn's ties and getting him coffee in front Amy and Garrett who are teasing him. During a tour of the store, Dina reveals all the security holes to Bo including that security guard Reggie is nearly blind. Jonah realizes that Glenn wants to do everything with him including always going to the bathroom together. Amy and Garrett are still stumped as to the photo owner while Mateo and Sandra are seen hanging store pictures that feature the woman in the photos. In the bathroom, Glenn won't give Jonah any personal space so Jonah can't go. Glenn asks him to a baseball game but Jonah reminds him the staff may get jealous.

Cheyenne asks Dina how Bo is doing at work. Dina praises his interest in security and says Cheyenne should trust him. In the Break Room, Glenn holds a fixed draw for a staff member to go to a baseball game with him which Jonah wins. Garrett suggests they go to the game early and make a day of it. Jonah makes excuses why he can't go and finally blurts out that he doesn't want to hang out with Glenn. Later, Jonah goes to Glenn's Office to return his tie. He finds Eugene is now Glenn's assistant and he receives the tie Jonah returned.

Jonah explains that he was just trying to get to know Glenn better so he'd approve of him dating Kristen. Amy and Garrett see the store pictures and realize the woman in the photos is a model. Cheyenne sees Bo hiding behind toilet paper so he can rob the store after it closes. Cheyenne tells him she doesn't need a fancy wedding so Bo quits in a very loud fashion at the store front. Glenn receives a phone call from Jeff telling him to fire 10% of the staff.
