Many of Jeff's large design jobs resume while Jenni is on maternity leave, forcing Megan step in as his executive assistant. His work life is complicated by Chaz Dean's business manager, Nuria, who refuses to raise his budget while increasing his workload. When Jeff realizes that Megan's skills as an assistant are lacking, he begs Jenni to come back to work.

Upon returning to the office, Jenni finds that human resources violations and inappropriate behavior have gotten out of control. When a new intern quits after just one day of work, Jenni brings Jeff to a counseling session with Dr. Donna to get him to realize his role in the bad behavior.

Using Dr. Donna's advice, Jenni attempts to restore order in the office by instituting a policy of mutual respect. Meanwhile, Jeff must calm George and Monika Eads who have become nervous over the escalating budget. When Jenni's efforts to deal with the human resources crisis fail, Jeff takes matters in his own hands and plans a mandatory team-building retreat in New Mexico.
