Yes, just try to imagine the joy on your family's faces when you give them windows for Christmas. Truly, they will adore you.
This guy walks in to Kate's office, and he's rather unfamiliar, so I assume this is someone looking for a matchmaker oh, it's Jerrold. I didn't recognize him at all, what with him never actually being on the show anymore. He asks Kate if she can help Nick out with the Logan document review. She says she'd love to help, but he's rebuffed all attempts and is being a crazy "worker bee." That's the problem, explains Jerrold. You see, it turns out that the reason Nick's working so hard is not because he really wants to beat Clifford or even that he's shown himself to be a hard worker in the past; it's that during his last salary negotiation, Jerrold threw in a bonus clause that kicks in if Nick bills an absurd number of hours by the end of the year, only it turns out that the number wasn't so absurd after all. Kate's surprised, since she thought Nick was being nice. Nope! Greedy. Then Kate realizes that her own Daddy didn't offer her a bonus. "Well, when I drop dead, it's all yours. You don't need a bonus," he says. Hee.
So Kate saunters off to Nick's office to resolve this B-plot, and offers to help him with the review when she gets back from coffee. He declines, and makes up a lot of hooey about how much extra weight she's carried for him, and this is his way of giving back. "Oh, give it a rest. I know about the bonus," she says. And he instantly starts salivating, saying he's so close he can almost taste it. "Well, I'm supposed to shut you down," she says, and a frantic Nick tells her that while she's out for coffee she should think of a compromise, some sort of "side arrangement." Kate asks if he's trying to bribe her. He stammers for a moment before admitting it, sending Kate laugh-shrieking into the hallway while Nick yells about a cone of silence.
