C.J. returns to the meeting, where Sam is explaining to Kiefer that they want to reverse the ratio of spending on drug control, which currently allocates twice as much money for enforcement as for treatment. Kiefer asks, "So you can spend less money on drug enforcement?" Sam replies, "So we can spend more money on treatment." Kiefer plays devil's advocate: "So you're soft on crime? And you don't care if kids shoot up on the playground at recess." Jed, tired of it already, says, "We don't care, do we, Sam?" Leo comes in at that moment and asks what he's missed. Jed says, "Kiefer's been here forty-five minutes, he's already got me on the playground at recess." Leo asks Kiefer, "Took you forty-five minutes?" Kiefer leans back on the sofa. As Toby says to Jed that he and Sam have some numbers they want to present, Charlie comes in and silently catches Josh's attention. Josh leaves with Charlie as Sam starts rhyming off statistics.
In the hallway, Josh learns that Joey's arrived and is waiting in his office. Josh wants to know what Charlie is smiling about. As they walk toward his office, Charlie comments, "Fine-lookin' woman, Josh." Josh agrees. Charlie offers, "I could help you out." Josh asks, "With what?" Charlie repeats, "She's a fine-lookin' woman." Josh: "Help me out with what?" Charlie gives him the "fine-lookin' woman" remark again. Yes, she's very pretty. We get it. Mildly irritated, Josh says, "Stop saying that." Charlie explains that he feels owes Josh a lot, since Josh got him his job, and he wants to pay him back by helping him out. Josh wonders what makes Charlie think he needs his help. (Josh: If Mandy is an example of how you do on your own, you'd be well advised to accept Charlie's help.) Once again, Charlie says, "She's a fine-lookin' woman, Josh." (That makes four times, for those who are counting.) Josh finally says, "Get away from me!" and takes off to his office...
