He tells her Kristen has taken a break from their relationship and Amy says Adam went home. Jonah turns to walk away and Amy says she thinks her marriage is over.

"Part-Time Hires": Jonah tries to converse with Emma until Amy orders Emma to clean up the dressing rooms. Emma groans as she leaves which prompts Jonah to warn Amy that if she's tough on Emma, this will make her ex Adam the "good guy". Jonah relates that when his parents divorced, he became closer to his Dad due to his niceness. Amy finds Emma has been spending a lot of time with Adam so she runs to Jonah for advice and agrees she needs to be nicer until Emma likes her better than Adam. After Amy's laxness with Emma causes an accident, Amy tells Jonah she's angry with herself for trying to be friends with Emma and that it's OK for Jonah to be strict with her. Emma shelves items in the wrong area and won't listen to Jonah so he follows Amy's direction and yells at Emma. Glenn interjects, yells at Jonah and tells him to stay away from Emma while she smiles behind Glenn's back. Garrett brings his problem to Jonah (that Dina is telling everyone she broke up with him) who is overly enthusiastic and this results in Garrett turning away. Jonah seeks Garrett out at customer service and apologizes for not being able to help and suggests they plan a roommate movie night over a few beers.

Jonah retracts his movie night offer and backs away from Garrett.

"Workplace Bullying": Entering the store in the morning, Jonah walks through the employee-only area and finds the door to the Cash Room open and sees a man robbing the safe. The robber isn't hostile and won't put the money back even after Jonah implores him too. He walks past Jonah with a backpack full of money and passes Dina in the hallway. Jonah yells that the man's a robber so Dina chases after and tackles the robber while making a crime-show zinger. She orders Jonah to call the police and chastises the robber while sitting on top of him. A police officer interviews Jonah and Dina and establishes that Jonah made no attempt to stop the robber which disgusts Dina. For safety, "parking lot buddies" are established. Myrtle finds her parking lot buddy is Jonah who she maligns to many staff in front of Jonah. Dina joins in and says Jonah won't do anything if Myrtle is attacked. In the Break Room, Jeff addresses the robbery and after calling Dina to the front, he says "don't do what Dina did". Dina is angered and points out Jonah did nothing which Jeff praises and says is company policy. Later, Jeff compliments Jonah and while Dina eavesdrops, Jonah asks Jeff not to compliment him in front of Dina. Jonah says Dina can be a bit of a bully which prompts Jeff to report her to HR. Jeff again gathers the staff in the Break Room but this time for a talk on bullying. Jonah insists he wasn't bullied and Dina indicates that if she had bullied someone, they would have a broken nose like Justine. Dina shows Jonah her written reprimand which he tries to apologize for. She smashes baby food jars on the floor and tells him to clean it up so, he retracts his apology and says she is a bully. Dina challenges Jonah to a fight while staff gather round and Marcus tries to get a chant of "fight!" going. As they leave store grounds, Garrett points out to Jonah that he's in a no-win situation. Jonah believes he just needs to stand up to Dina and once he does, she'll back down. Outside, the staff gather and Dina circles around Jonah and says that if he is a feminist, he should punch her. Jonah refuses and when Garrett interrupts to film the up-coming battle, Dina blind-sides Jonah and tackles him to the ground. She tries to pin him but complains that his skin is so soft that he is slippery. As she yells at him to fight back she suddenly jumps up and points at his crotch. Jonah has an erection which he tries to hide. Dina stops Jonah in the store and says that she realizes the reason he's been giving her a "hard time" is that he is still attracted to her. She says she needs to be on her own for now (having just broken up with Garrett) but that they could have sex soon and compliments his manhood. Jonah is passive and can't get a word in to contradict her.

Amy continues to meddle and by continually responding to Kelly's texts and finally saying that Jonah is very ill. Kelly sees Jonah setting up a display and is concerned for his well-being. She calls him strong and brave much to his puzzlement. Later, Amy and Garrett hear Kelly yelling and find her confronting Jonah. She accuses him of playing mind games with her which Jonah denies. Kelly grabs a knife and threatens Jonah which results in Amy confessing to perpetrating the situation. Jonah asks Kelly to put down the knife which enrages her and she stabs Jonah. Amy and Garrett scream but then realize it's a ruse. In the Break Room, Amy, Jonah and Kelly are laughing and Jonah compliments Kelly's acting skills and leaves. Amy thanks Kelly for being understanding while Kelly thanks Amy for breaking the ice for her with Jonah.

"Health Fund": After Mateo gets an ear infection, Amy makes a collection jar for Mateo and asks Jonah's opinion on the best jar sign. He is disgusted that every time a staff member is sick, they have to scramble to collect money. Amy flippantly says they can't collect money before it's needed as planning isn't the staff's forté. This gives Jonah an idea for a health fund. Jonah proposes to a group of staff that they all contribute $20 monthly for a health fund. Amy makes fun of the proposal but when Kelly offers to pitch money in, the rest of the staff follow. Sandra is overjoyed to get an inhaler from the health fund and hugs Jonah. Jonah gloats over his accomplishment to Amy. Marcus approaches Amy to sign a thank you card for Jonah which results in her seeking out Jonah and mentioning that it was her idea which led to the fund. She denies wanting credit but Jonah announces her contribution on the P.A. system and then tells Amy that the fund is a disaster. Jonah shows Amy that health claims worth $37,000 have been made in the first 4 hours of the plan and they see that certain staff have many health problems. Amy and Jonah meet with the staff who have made many health claims and diplomatically tell them that the fund isn't available to them and return their contributions. Sandra gets upset, won't accept she's out of the plan and tells them to figure out a solution. In the Break Room, Amy and Jonah meet with the staff and announce that they are not ejecting anyone from the fund but are dividing them into two groups based on projected health expenses with Group A paying less than Group B. Time passes and the plan has now turned into an extremely complicated multi-tiered plan which no one is happy with. After Isaac crashes into the glass of a vending machine, Amy and Jonah are seen with him at the Pharmacy where Tate tries to treat Isaac's cuts.

Garrett and Jonah are again arguing about each other's roommate habits when Kelly interrupts them and asks where the store Santa is. Garrett says he's in the drunk tank and Kelly implores them to fill in as a young boy and his Dad drove an hour to see the store Santa. Garrett dresses as Santa and Jonah is his elf. The young boy sits on Garrett's lap and Jonah uses the opportunity to insult Garrett which results in them trading barbs on their roommate habits again until Kelly stops them by taking a picture. Glenn drags Mateo to see the child on Garrett's lap and improve his Christmas spirit but they witness the end of Garrett and Jonah's argument punctuated with Jonah stomping off and kicking a giant candy cane. In the Stock Room, Kelly comforts a frustrated Jonah. They realize they have a lot in common and bond. Over drinks, Jonah thinks his gift to Garrett should be a night off from each other.

Jonah and Kelly leave the store laughing as Jonah jokingly warns her that he went to college on a pool scholarship.

"Viral Video": Jonah and Marcus are watching one of Kelly's Instagram videos on Janet's phone. Amy joins in and doesn't understand why they find it funny.

Jonah watches Amy's first attempt at creating a video which he sarcastically calls "riveting". Garrett and Jonah watch five of Amy's videos which are over-the-top. Jonah and Garrett watch Amy's latest video in which she's in the stores' kitchen and derides social media as she's gotten tired of how pointless and self-centered it is. Amy flaunts her video to Jonah and that it got 15,000 views but she didn't realize the rats in the produce behind her. Jonah prepares to clean out the rat traps, having lost the bet to Amy. Amy offers to help but Kelly has already volunteered and she and Jonah begin joking around so Amy leaves in a foul mood.

"Golden Globes Party": In the Break Room, Jonah, Mateo and Garrett are placing bets on what will happen at that evening's Golden Globe Awards. Kelly and Jonah arrive at Amy's house with Kelly feeling that she is over-dressed and isn't accepted by the staff yet. Jonah reassures her but Dina insults Kelly's dress. Amy checks on the BBQ but discovers to her horror that the propane ran out and the meat is raw. She asks for Jonah's help, and he tells Amy to not worry about the food as everyone is there to watch the Golden Globes. In the kitchen, Amy tells Dina and Jonah that she's going to microwave the meat and tries to convince them that the party is going fine. Dina tries to interest everyone in games no one has heard of until Jonah has Kelly explain a game called "Answers". The game is confusing to everyone except Jerry. In the kitchen, Amy, Dina and Jonah scramble to get the food ready. Amy pours BBQ sauce over the microwaved meat to which Dina and Jonah can barely contain their disgust. After Amy admits that the party is a bust and everyone leaves, Jonah comforts Amy at the front door before leaving with Kelly and the gang for a restaurant.

"High Volume Store": As the staff go into a sales frenzy to be re-classified as a "Quad-A" store and get a Pizza Hut, Amy meets Jonah and Dina by the whiteboard thermometer tracking the progress to $80,000. Jonah is suspicious of what will happen to the store if it is re-classified and convinces Amy and Dina to visit the "Quad-A" Cloud 9 Crestwood Store with him to check it out. At the Crestwood store, the associates act suspiciously. In the Break Room at the Crestwood store, the associates are comatose and crying. Amy gathers the staff for a meeting in the Warehouse to convince them not to become a "Quad-A" store and Dina asks Jonah to keep Jeff occupied with his boring stories while they discourage sales. In the Stock Room, Jonah regales Jeff with a story. Jeff wants to get back in the store and to stall him further, Jonah says he thinks Jeff is going through something and he's available to talk.

Garrett is excited that he'll have the apartment to himself as his best friend Randy will be coming over to play video games which makes Jonah jealous. In the Break Room, the staff help Cheyenne with items for a mermaid theme birthday party which prompts Marcus to say he wishes he was a mermaid. The existence and creation of mermaids, unicorns and Bigfoot is discussed but when Jonah mentions angels, he is surprised that Kelly believes in them. Amy and Jonah watch Brandi make Cheyenne shop for Green Day items for the party and Amy expresses her anger towards Brandi. She believes that a mermaid party is objectively better than a Green Day party and walks away in disgust as Jonah says he likes Green Day and that she shouldn't butt in Cheyenne's relationship with her Mom. As they are folding shirts, Jonah clarifies Kelly's belief in angels which offends her. Jonah tells Garrett about Kelly believing in angels but Garrett is more interested in his weekend plans. To convince Jonah of the existence of angels, Kelly recalls a story from her childhood in which she was saved from drowning by one. The staff listens raptly and are moved but Jonah believes the "angel" was a hotel guest. Not believing Kelly in front of the staff results in her calling off their weekend away which concerns Garrett as it will ruin his plans. Jonah again talks to Garrett about his angel problem with Kelly.

"Groundhog Day": Since Dina is relaxing, Glenn asks for a volunteer to be assistant manager for the day.

In disgust, Amy listens to Kelly and Jonah sing an announcement. Sandra joins Jonah and Kelly on the announcements which has now turned into a talk show. Jonah arrives at the confrontation between Amy, Marcus and Tate. Cheyenne tells Jonah that Amy slept with Tate so Jonah expresses his surprise to Amy.

However, her bad impressions make him laugh and forgetting about Amy, he launches into his own bad impressions.

"Video Game Release": Inside the store, Dina announces the release of a new video game "Barbarians Gate 3" to the staff and asks them to be vigilant so that tramplings are avoided. Amy asks if a game can be set aside for her but Dina says no. Amy still wants the game and asks Dina again if she'll make an exception to the rule that employees can't buy products until their shift is over but Dina refuses. Dina leaves so Jonah encourages Amy to sneak a copy of the game out of the cage. Amy is reluctant but Jonah convinces her. Amy and Jonah are at the cage where the games are stored but can't reach them. They see a small door that leads into the cage and Jonah suggests they find the store plans and figure out how to get into the cage. In Glenn's Office, Amy and Jonah consult the store plans which Jonah reads incorrectly. Amy moves a filing cabinet and finds a small door. Amy and Jonah venture into the bowels of the store and find a ladder. Amy and Jonah are navigating a tunnel when Dina phone calls Amy asking for help control the gamers.

As they play a racially offensive board game, Jonah recalls his first day on the job and gets Amy to admit that she's warmed to him over the years. They continue their quest in the tunnels and come upon a small door. They open it hoping it leads to the cage but find it comes out into a dressing room and sidle past Dennis who is trying pants on. The game sold out, Jonah surprises Amy with one that he traded for with a customer. Delighted, she asks Jonah if he'd like to see the game played but he has to meet Kelly. As he walks way, Dina sees how Amy looks at him and asks if she has a crush on Jonah which she admits to.

"Safety Training": Marcus tries to convince Jonah, Garrett and Mateo to invest in human cheese but Mateo is distracted by a customer he likes. Some staff gathers around Mateo as he is icing his wrist. Marcus and Justine both tell Mateo they received a settlement when they were hurt. Mateo doesn't consider himself a good negotiator so Jonah volunteers to help him. In the Break Room, Jeff offers Mateo a $1000 settlement. Jonah negotiates lamely and then says they'll take it. As Jonah and Mateo look through the fine print of the settlement document, they discover that a background check is required which will reveal Mateo's undocumented status so they inform Jeff they are turning down the offer. Jeff approaches Jonah and Mateo and offers a higher settlement figure which he says is the final offer. When they turn him down, he keeps offering higher figures which to his frustration are refused. In Glenn's Office, Jeff's boss is on the phone and Mateo is offered $50,000. When this is refused, Jeff and Mateo argue about their past relationship which embarrasses Jeff in front of his boss. In the Break Room, Dina gathers the staff to show them the video of the sign falling due to Kelly's incompetence.

The staff gasp in shock, Kelly is stunned and Jonah and Amy are embarrassed.

"Amnesty": In the Break Room, the staff laugh at a video on a loop of Amy and Jonah kissing. Corey kiddingly points out where the condoms are to Amy and Jonah. Amy and Jonah are sick of the constant kidding which is made worse when Justine and Isaac arrive and tease them more. Jonah catches Amy eating her lunch in the Stock Room to avoid staff teasing. He relates that if they join in on the kidding, it'll stop. Sandra interrupts them and teases them with a sexual hand gesture which she gets wrong. Corey teases Amy and Jonah that he can leave them alone with a bed but they go along with the teasing and end up accidentally kissing so Justine runs off to tell everyone. In the Warehouse, Jonah tries to explain the kiss to Kelly. A video created by Sandra of Amy and Jonah's kiss which is a parody of the a-ha "Take On Me" video is shown on the store's TVs which Amy admits is impressive. In the Break Room, Glenn introduces Pastor Craig to deal with the souls of the staff. He finishes his session which Glenn is disappointed with. Glenn recalls various things staff have admitted to which causes Amy to protest that kissing Jonah wasn't adultery and, that she thought they were about to die. Pastor Craig says everyone makes mistakes and looking at Amy and Jonah, that all have lust in their hearts. They deny any lust so he counters that he senses something going on with them. Jonah points out he's dating Kelly and admits he had a crush on Amy years ago. Amy admits she had a crush on Jonah which surprises him. They both awkwardly try to explain the attraction away which no one believes. Jonah apologizes to Kelly and tells her that even if his and Amy's crushes had been at the same time, he'd still be with Kelly. They agree to move in together and hug.

"Target": In the Break Room, Jonah and Kelly are looking on a laptop for a place to move in together but Jonah continually finds fault with all the options. At the store, Jonah and Kelly tape a floor plan of their ideal living room but Jonah insists they need to try it out with furniture.

He says he does and admits that the situation with Amy was part of the reason for his behaviour. Jonah and Kelly re-affirm their commitment while squishing bread loaves.

"District Manager": Justine, Marcus and Sandra watch Laurie work and make negative comments about her. Amy accuses them of misogyny and Jonah comments that many people think women make better bosses than men. He makes an analogy to Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire which angers Myrtle who challenges Jonah to name movies Rogers was better than Rita Hayworth in. He can't but Marcus does while mixing up the title names. Amy tells Jonah that Myrtle is going to fired and after some questioning, admits its her fault. Amy and Jonah convince Laurie to not fire Myrtle if they can find enough savings to make up Myrtle's salary. In the Warehouse, Amy tries to help Jonah find some cost savings. Amy and Jonah enter the Break Room and tell the staff they need to take the coffee machine in order to save money so that Laurie won't fire Myrtle. This leads numerous staff to posit whether it is sexist to call a woman a bitch who is acting like one. Jonah agrees with Marcus on a point but tells him to stop using the word "bitch". Justine rebukes Jonah when he explains to Cheyenne that no one hosts a holocaust. Amy and Jonah present the savings they've found to Laurie but despite impressing her, Laurie still wants Myrtle fired. Leaving the store, Amy curses about Laurie to Jonah. They see the delivery truck truck on its side and Myrtle shouts it was her best day ever.

"Local Vendors Day": Garrett and Jonah browse vendor's tables but Garrett isn't impressed with any. He sees an artisanal beer table which he pans until he sees the cute proprietor Jess. Jonah teases him that he's interested in Jess which Garrett denies. Jonah accuses Glenn of pressuring the staff to buy his wife Jerusha's items. Garrett has Jonah try one of Jess' samples and he believes it's Bud Light too. Garrett won't admit to caring about Jess despite Jonah teasing him. After learning that Amy is dating Alex, Jonah overcompensates and repeatedly says how great Alex is and he arranges a double date with Kelly, Amy and Alex. In the store, Jonah checks out Alex while Marcus rues spending his savings on creating "boob cheese". Jonah encourages him so Marcus gives him a sample and looks at Jonah expectantly. Jonah feels obliged to take a bite, fakes liking it which turns into surprise when Marcus admits he's grossed out by the cheese.

"Lottery": After Glenn announces that the Missouri Lottery jackpot is the most it has been in 20 years, Jonah says his lottery win dream would be to travel but he doesn't mention bringing Kelly so Marcus claims dibs on her. In the store, Jonah sees Amy in a business suit and discovers she plans on asking Glenn for a raise. Amy is reluctant so Jonah encourages her. While stocking produce, Kelly playfully gives Jonah a hard time for not mentioning her in his lottery fantasy. He tries to explain but this evokes teasing from Kelly. Amy tells Jonah about her failure with Glenn so Jonah encourages Amy to talk to Laurie. In Glenn's Office, Amy calls Laurie to ask for a raise but gets her secretary, Skye. Skye says Laurie isn't available and Jonah accuses her of lying which makes her cry. Jonah plans dinner and watching one of Kelly's favorite TV shows which she cheerfully gets him to admit is making up for not including her in his lottery fantasy. Jonah discovers through Laurie's social media that she's playing golf. Jonah talks Amy into going to the golf course and asking Laurie for a raise. She agrees but insists he come along. At the golf course, Amy and Jonah search for Laurie in a cart with Amy driving very slowly. Jonah talks about his past which included golfing, tennis and skiing. They see Laurie in the distance and creep slowly towards her. At the course, Jonah gives Amy some funny golf segues to asking for a raise. As they pursue Laurie, it takes them down a hill. The cart picks up speed and unable to control it, Amy runs into Laurie. A paramedic arrives and advises Laurie that although nothing appears broken, she should remain prone until help arrives. Against Jonah's advice, Amy asks for a raise from an incredulous Laurie. At a putting green at night, Amy and Jonah drink beer and Jonah kids Amy about her failed raise attempt. Amy misses hitting the ball so Jonah moves closer to instruct her. He holds Amy from behind and misses a call from Kelly on his phone. Kelly leaves a cheerful message for him about their restaurant reservation which Jonah has forgotten. Amy sinks her putt and she and Jonah revel in her victory.

In the store, Amy and Jonah watch Glenn and Jerusha and make jokes in an Italian accent about Amy's life is she'd been born a boy. Jeff, now sporting a moustache, surprises Mateo and maintains the ruse with Jonah that he's working for Target. Jeff leaves to shop and Mateo tells Jonah that Jeff is jobless. Jeff continually talks about Target to Jonah which prompts him to ask Jeff to tone down the work talk. Jeff figures out that Jonah knows his ruse and Mateo discusses this with Jonah. Mateo doesn't want to ask Jeff to find a job (as Jeff quit Cloud 9 for Mateo) so Jonah offers to. Jonah finds Jeff talking to Mateo and encourages him to find a job. Jeff wants to find what makes him happy which Mateo supports and so Jonah relents. In private, Mateo is angry at Jonah as Jonah was supposed to be the "bad cop" and insist on Jeff finding a job. In hiking gear, Jeff approaches Jonah and Mateo. Jonah forcefully tells Jeff he needs to stop dreaming and get a job while Mateo play acts supporting Jeff. Mateo continues to tie into Jonah but Jeff stops him and gives in to getting a job. He is so despondent that when Jonah keeps playing "bad cop", Mateo asks him to stop and Jonah relents. In private, Mateo is angry again at Jonah for not playing his role. At the gender reveal party, Jonah and Mateo watch Jeff in a fishing hat talk to Cheyenne and Mateo rues their economic down turn. Amy meets Jonah in the Warehouse cleaning up the trash. Jonah jokingly repeats the Italian accent from earlier but Amy looks deep into his eyes and moves closer. She kisses him and he responds tenderly. Amy pulls back and with tears in her eyes, tells Jonah that she's pregnant.

"Aftermath": In the Warehouse, Jonah tells Amy he doesn't know what to do now that she's told him she's pregnant. He finds out the father is Adam and asks Amy why she kissed him and told him she was pregnant. Amy says she wanted to before everything changes which confuses and angers Jonah who leaves. In the Break Room, Glenn gives morning announcements and puts Amy on the spot when he mentions Mother's Day is coming up. Amy tells everyone she's pregnant. Jonah lies to Kelly that he didn't know. Amy tries to talk to Jonah while he's stocking a shelf but Jonah refuses and walks over to Kelly. Outside at the store front for the group photo, Glenn asks everyone to put their arms around each other and has to force Jonah to hold Amy. Jonah kisses Kelly and they flirt until interrupted by a customer who holds Jonah's hand. At a checkout, Amy again tries to talk to Jonah who doesn't want to discuss their kiss. They are interrupted by Adam who doesn't know Amy is pregnant. Amy wants to talk to Adam later but they are interrupted by Bo who tells Amy he left the baby stuff by her locker and mentions her pregnancy. This shocks Adam who thinks Jonah is the father until Amy says it's his. Jonah is finally able to leave by helping a lost boy. Jonah drapes himself over Kelly's back while she's stocking a shelf and says he wants to meet her parents. In the Break Room, Jonah comments that he and Amy aren't watching the video and he apologizes for reacting poorly to their kiss.

Jonah tells Isaac that upping his steps per day will increase his lifespan which Isaac doesn't care about and shocks Jonah that he's under 30 years old, even though he looks much older. Seeing they are still in last place on the scoreboard, Jonah suggests that if they trash talk Colleen's store, Bel-Ridge, the backlash might motivate the staff to compete. The staff are gathered at the scoreboard to see messages from Bel-Ridge putting their store down which are actually sent by Amy. Everyone starts moving around the store in a frenzy, cheered on by Amy, Dina and Jonah.

Believing Emma's never accepted him dating Amy and that attending might make the event awkward, Amy convinces him to go. Jonah greets Emma and they are approached by a photographer who mistakes Jonah for Emma's father. Feeling uncomfortable, it's made worse for Jonah when Adam shows up and the photographer compliments his height and looks. Finding Jonah keeping to himself, Amy encourages him to mingle. Calling her parents Ron and Connie Sosa over, Jonah's compliments to them fall flat and he excuses himself to go buy some ice for the party. As the DJ announces Emma's formal entrance, Jonah comes through the presentation arch with bags of ice. Emma bumps into him, he fumbles the bags and one spills open, ruining Emma's special moment.

The party over, Jonah apologizes to Amy who reveals that Emma confessed to being high. Thanking Jonah, she says she wants to know right away the next time one of her kids is on drugs.

"Cloud Green": As the store's green ambassador, Jonah reads from a pamphlet which is very outdated. He tries to get Marcus, Cheyenne and Sandra interested in planting trees but once they find out they're not getting paid for it, they decline. Jonah is disappointed to see fake names on a sign-up sheet for Earth Day activities which leads Garrett to kid him that he's the Bono of the store. After Mateo and Sayid complain to Jonah about several green measures he's taken, Jonah gets frustrated and offers to give the green ambassador role up, which Cheyenne accepts. Garrett tricks Jonah into wearing a pair of sunglasses that resemble Bono's while Cheyenne takes Jonah's green ambassador button. Cheyenne starts a "Green Team" meeting while Jonah sits on the sidelines. They critisize Jonah when he points out their scope is too big and they're not really doing anything to help the planet. Watching Cheyenne, Mateo, Marcus and Sayid take pictures to post on social media, Jonah points out they're not doing anything to help the environment. Garrett believes Jonah misses being in charge and compares him to Bono again. Jonah starts his own environmental group up which Marcus dubs the "Green Posse" with Sandra, Ted, Marcus, Earl, Heather, and Roxy. Saying it'll be a "direct action" group, Garrett comes by and guesses Jonah started the group to be in charge. Denying this, Marcus offers to be leader which Jonah quickly shoots down.

"Scanners": After Amy shows the staff scanners that customers can use to pay for items, Cheyenne, Garrett and Jonah are amazed at their range and accuracy in identifying products. In the Warehouse, the staff divide into two teams, "Team Soup" led by Jonah and "Team Yogurt" led by Garrett. Putting a UPC sticker for their team's product on their vest, they plan a duel in the store to see which team can scan the other team "out." Amy tells Jonah she's feeling guilty for Dina taking the blame for the work schedule. Seeing Garrett trying to shoot him with a scanner, Jonah hugs Amy and picks her up, covering his UPC sticker. Garrett unsuccessfully tries to lure Jonah to a department so he can shoot him. As Glenn and Jonah are helping a customer, they hear Cheyenne scream. Running over, she cries she's been bitten on the ankle. Garrett rolls out from behind a display and shoots them both. However, Jonah reveals his UPC sticker is for yogurt, which eliminates a person from Garrett's team. The four argue about which team won. Seeing Jonah sitting outside the store on a bench, Amy sits beside him, exhausted. She informs him that almost all his hours the following week were given to other staff to fulfill Dina's promise. Joking that he'll be evicted, Amy invites him to live with her.

"CLOUD9FAIL": After a defamatory tweet about the store gets the staff more hours from corporate, Jonah proposes he and Amy tweet more in-store problems from fake accounts to get even more hours. Seeing Dina and Justine looking at more tweets, Amy and Jonah fake ignorance of them which Jonah almost blows. After corporate identifies that an employee is sending the tweets, they send Luanne who provides evidence to the staff. While Jonah shifts uncomfortably, Amy tries to get Luanne to back off but she indicates she's not leaving until the identity of the tweeter is found. In private, Jonah tells Amy that if caught, he'll say he acted alone. In Amy's office, Luanne tells Amy and Jonah websites the culprit visited on his phone, which match Jonah's interests. Amy and Jonah both lie that many staff could have done so. Once Sandra is wrongly blamed for the tweets, Jonah tries to take responsibility but the staff's admiration for Sandra supposedly standing up to corporate makes her play the part of the abused worker.

"Sandra's Fight": In the store, Amy and Jonah wonder if Sandra's union stance is just so she can get attention. After being accused of being mean, Garrett seeks solace from Jonah who doesn't given him any. In the Warehouse, Amy asks for Dina and Jonah's help in quietly stopping Sandra from speaking about unionizing which Jonah is uneasy with. Amy asks Jonah to attend the union meeting and ensure it doesn't get out of hand. The union meeting is held in the store after hours where Sandra introduces labor organizer Robin Green. Jonah is negative at the meeting and is accused by Sandra of being anti-union because he's sleeping with Amy. Jonah points out several realities such as retail dying and that the staff have no education. Saying their current conditions are the best most of them will ever get, it puts a damper on everyone's enthusiasm. However, he feels guilty for going against his beliefs. Glenn rues the lost opportunity to Jonah, which makes him more guilty. Amy tells Jonah to give her details of who was most ardent at the union meeting so she can monitor them.
