Mark and Laura make a shocking discovery worthy of Save the Assistants when they return to Commodity Staffing to deliver their time sheets. Meanwhile Nick gets a visit from his guardian angel, Tom Cruise.
While still unconscious, Nick dreams up a new scheme to take some completely unnecessary vacation time courtesy of his guardian angel Tom Cruise and makes a life or death decision about Commodity Staffing that will give Mark and Laura more responsibility than they want.
With Nick taking some totally unnecessary vacation time, Mark and Laura have been handed control of Commodity Staffing, forcing them to hire new temps. They soon learn the talent pool is a bit...shallow.
