Jeff prepares for Jenni's impending maternity leave by hiring his friend Megan as his new design assistant. Jealous of Megan's hire, Andy acts out, forcing Jenni to take up her role of Human Resources Director again. Meanwhile, Jeff helps an old friend redesign her home on a tight budget.

With several of his big budget clients on hold, Jeff takes on a quick design job in Arizona and brings the entire office on a road trip to tackle the task. Meanwhile, Zoila asserts her authority over the rest of the housekeeping staff.

As project delays drag on, Jeff becomes increasingly frustrated. An indecisive new client adds to Jeff's aggravation, ultimately leading him to decide that he wants to sell Gramercy and go back into the flipping business where he has control over his own projects. Meanwhile, Jeff and his team introduce his new paint line to the public at Dwell on Design, a huge trade show in Los Angeles.
