Westmonte. Bug drops Lux off to talk to Jones. He offers to stay and wait while they chat, then Jones makes a snide remark, and Bug responds by calling him an asshat. Nice! Lux tells Bug he should probably make himself scarce. He zips off, and she awkwardly goes over to make nice with the jocks. Of course, she manages to insult them off the bat when she assumes they don't know what "debacle" means. Having effectively blown her opener, she gets straight to the point. She tells Jones the kind of hard time Bug is facing and tells him she'll do anything if Jones lets Bug off the hook. Jones agrees to it... if he can have Bug's motorcycle. Jones explains that his dad took his car as punishment for partying. Now, presumably Jones will get the car back at some point which makes this not so much an even trade as an episode of vengeful, subhuman fuckery. But Jones can't be bothered with these notions of common sense and fairness. He says he needs wheels, so the bike will have to do. Lux says Bug's dad gave him that bike, but again Jones = can't be bothered. He acts like a real prick, telling Lux that Bug will have to decide between the bike and her. Well, as they say, the rich get richer...

Back to Cate, who is a little shaken by having her likability converted into a pie chart. She frets over her option, or lack thereof, if she actually gets sacked. Like most journalists, she has very few transferable skills (I should know, I am one. And it's a great time to be in the field, by golly!). She says that walking in on Baze peeing that morning now seems like a blip compared to the problems she's facing. Ryan gets prickly again, saying it's telling that she'd rather talk about Baze than pick a wedding date. He starts to take her to task for bringing up Baze all the time, but the producer interrupts to say Trina wants to see them.

Outside, Baze strolls in and sees Trina -- or as he calls her "Coffee Lady," sheesh he really is a third grader. She gives him a chilly reception, and he promises he's not stalking her but actually looking for Trina Campbell, who called him in to the station. She can't believe the coincidence. Just then, Cate and Ryan make their way to the lobby and protest Baze being involved in their show. Ryan thinks it'll just confuse matters worse, but Trina says on the contrary, Baze will guest host for a morning and clear up Cate's muddy personal past and present. Baze smiles dumbly, Cate looks like she just got punched in the gut, and Ryan weighs the pain of slitting his own wrists versus the jail time for Bobbiting Baze. Commercials.
