Doug starts his job at Panco, and finds that he has an assignment on his first day. Actually, he has two, but one of them is a secret to everyone but him and his family. The first is that he has to convince everyone else that he's a lawyer, when he has absolutely no experience - much less education, certification or anything else that would allow him to conduct business as a lawyer.

The second is a more mundane job, and that's simply a pet project of Hugh. Whenever someone new comes on board, they have to make room for themselves by clearing out the person who previously held the job. In other words, Doug has to fire his predecessor.

Naturally, the person who holds Doug's job doesn't want to go, and he also knows that Doug is taking someone's place. But he doesn't believe that it's him, even when Doug tells him that that is the case. So Doug spends the better part of the morning working up the courage, but when Hugh tells him that one of them has to go, and if he can't do it, then he'll be out of a job himself, Doug makes it happen.

The other challenge is trying to be a lawyer when he's got no experience whatsoever. For that, he enlists the experience of Aubrey, a paralegal in the office who ends up doing most of Doug's work. Somehow he makes this work.

Meanwhile, back in the Rich household, Dahlia has been talking to the neighbors, and it seems that anyone of status who wants to make an impression on the rest of the people in the area have enrolled their kids at the private school (which of course will bump up the monthly needs considerably, but there is no mention of that), and in order to get on board with that, Dahlia decides that she simply must get her kids enrolled.

The only problem is that there is a rather huge waiting list, and it seems that they won't be able to do so. So they do what they always do. They set about scheming a way in.

Since the head mistress hasn't met Sam, the youngest Malloy, she sets up a sting operation where he will encounter her at the park and impress her with his ability to speak and read French poetry and whatnot, but that he is getting ready to enroll elsewhere. Then when the head mistress finds her bird missing, Sam will magically help her find it, and that will naturally lead her to see if she can do something to help.

It's really a rather impressive setup, and of course it works to perfection, so the kids are enrolled. I'm just wondering how Doug's salary will hold up.

At the end, Cael gets a call from his girlfriend back at the family camp, and it seems that Dale, the tyrannical leader of the family, who is trying to take over from his dying father, is abusing her, and she needs him to come rescue her. So Cael agrees to meet her at a diner. Little does Cael know that she's being forced to meet him, and Cael waits outside...
