Zoila returns to the house where the doctor has prescribed bed rest for several weeks. Jeff, however, feels that Zoila is perfectly capable of some light chores -– no matter how disgusting they are. Meanwhile, Sarah's behavior continues to wear on Jeff, so he brings Jenni in full-time to help out with some important clients.

Jeff continues to take on more business, but with a smaller staff the pressure is on to maintain a steady pace at the office. The deadline to finish Chaz Dean's salon is fast approaching, and Jeff needs his remaining employees' full commitment. When he discovers that someone has been doing private design consultations on the side, things get ugly. With misbehaving staff, demanding clients, and absent-minded contactors, Jeff's temper starts to boil over.

With the Chaz Dean salon remodel finally under his belt, Jeff sets his eyes on bigger and better things — specifically the Chaz Dean salon job in New York. But when Jeff realizes that Chaz has been mum on the subject, he gets worried that he won't hire him for the job. Meanwhile, Jeff continues work on Stacey Farish's home on Sunshine Terrace. Although Stacey is happy with Jeff's work, she continues to insult Jenni. As Stacey becomes more demanding and insulting, Jeff has to decide what's more important –- keeping his client happy or protecting the few loyal employees he has left.
