In the Season 2 finale, Merc threatens to leave Jamie for Carol when he discovers that his wife and Matt had an affair; and Sean is devastated when Beverly turns up at an awards dinner with a date.

Merc's career is in jeopardy when it's discovered that he once passed on a show that became a hit on another network. Meanwhile, Matt has an intimate encounter with his stalker; and Sean is upset to learn about Beverly's second date.

The network forces Sean and Beverly to deal with a weighty issue: confronting Matt about some extra pounds he's put on. Later, Beverly goes on a blind date with Morning's brother.

Merc has a double request of Matt: land one of his former "Friends" co-stars for a guest appearance on "Pucks!"; and deliver a speech at a testimonial dinner for Merc. Meanwhile, Sean and Beverly have a boozy bonding moment while writing the "Man of the Year" salute that Matt is expected to give.

Matt's stalker adds Sean as a Facebook friend and is able to track down the two of them at a restaurant; a travel agent's mistakes put a crimp in both Merc's and Jamie's getaway plans. Meanwhile, Sean and Beverly discover that Morning has been the victim of a botched plastic-surgery procedure.

The latest research shows that "Pucks!" is taking a ratings hit. But the good news is that viewers are responding favourably to the young cast, necessitating some rewrites to upcoming scripts.

The death of Merc's father triggers a debate among Sean, Beverly and Matt about the best way to express one's condolences. At the funeral, Carol's jealousy toward Jamie intensifies.

Matt tries to make amends with Sean by buying him a fancy convertible; Matt and Jamie contemplate another romantic assignation.

In the series 2 premiere, "Pucks!" scores big ratings, meaning that the separated Sean and Beverly—and star Matt who had a fling with her—must find a way to coexist and continue working together. Meanwhile, Morning has a very special birthday present for Sean.
