At a reception for Abby's returning friend Zayn, assistant Jason is ordered to arrange flower baskets and seating while Abby's parents berate and humiliate him. They threaten punishment—three days of kneeling—and warn that if Jason contacts Mr. Smith he’ll lose Abby's forgiveness. The father reveals he is the chairman of Smith Ent and the mother commands their seats be placed beside Diva. Pressured and insulted, Jason rejects their authority and snaps, shouting, "Let me show you who the real boss of this place is!" The episode ends with that challenge unresolved.
