|ShortSummary = Sylvia begins her job at the law firm. Charlie's colleagues express doubt that Sylvia, who is in her early forties, can keep up with the demands of associate-level law work. Indeed, she finds herself struggling with the workflow and quickly alienates her young colleagues with various social faux-pas. While working late, she falls asleep, accidentally damaging a portrait of Kurt. Will uses his ex-wife Audrey's connections with an eccentric artist to repair the painting. While waiting for the painting, Will and Sylvia go to Lucky Penny. There, Will learns that his partners at Lucky Penny have created a hard kombucha called "Da Booch" without him, and that Peyton now works at Lucky Penny and that Andy has been dating Sylvia's friend Katie. They retrieve the painting, upon which the painter has drawn a penis. Sylvia attempts to feign ignorance the next day, but security footage reveals her part in the incident and she is fired.

|ShortSummary = {{Long plot|episode|date=July 2023}} Sylvia avoids telling Charlie she was fired for several days, hanging out at Lucky Penny with Will instead. She finally tells Charlie, whose words of support do not make her feel comforted. She goes on a trip to San Diego with Will, Katie and the Lucky Penny team to meet with Johnny Rev, the owner of the establishment that is offering to carry Lucky Penny's beer. The partners are hesitant to let Will talk business, but he impresses Johnny Rev with his business acumen. However, Johnny Rev tries to kiss Sylvia; when she rebuffs him, he scolds and humiliates her. His behaviour becomes increasingly belligerent until Will stands up for Sylvia, getting the group kicked out of the house and squashing the deal. Andy proposes to Katie. Back at his office, Charlie discovers through their shared photo app that Sylvia had been hanging out at Lucky Penny in the week after being fired, and Vanessa discovers through social media stalking that Gandalf the lizard originally belonged to Will, which Sylvia had concealed from her family.

Charlie confesses the incident to Sylvia, who is hurt. Sylvia has Will over and the two get high, play video games and watch YouTube videos all night. He suggests Sylvia renovate their aging garage. Will tries to talk to his partners about cutting him into the "Da Booch" business. He comes over to help survey the garage but quickly discovers that it's damaged. A panic ensues involving a raccoon, and the garage partially collapses. Upon leaving, Will angrily tells Sylvia to deal with her issues with Charlie. Charlie confesses his own jealousy to Sylvia, at not being the most important man in her life, and promises the incident with Vanessa had nothing to do with her. They agree to move forward. At the bar, Will is confronted by his business partners and a lawyer, who want him to sell his share of the business and leave. Will vows to not leave.

Sylvia begins her job at the law firm. Charlie's colleagues express doubt that Sylvia, who is in her early forties, can keep up with the demands of associate-level law work. Indeed, she finds herself struggling with the workflow and quickly alienates her young colleagues with various social faux-pas. While working late, she falls asleep, accidentally damaging a portrait of Kurt. Will uses his ex-wife Audrey's connections with an eccentric artist to repair the painting. While waiting for the painting, Will and Sylvia go to Lucky Penny. There, Will learns that his partners at Lucky Penny have created a hard kombucha called "Da Booch" without him, and that Peyton now works at Lucky Penny and that Andy has been dating Sylvia's friend Katie. They retrieve the painting, upon which the painter has drawn a penis. Sylvia attempts to feign ignorance the next day, but security footage reveals her part in the incident and she is fired.

Sylvia avoids telling Charlie she was fired for several days, hanging out at Lucky Penny with Will instead. She finally tells Charlie, whose words of support do not make her feel comforted. She goes on a trip to San Diego with Will, Katie and the Lucky Penny team to meet with Johnny Rev, the owner of the establishment that is offering to carry Lucky Penny's beer. The partners are hesitant to let Will talk business, but he impresses Johnny Rev with his business acumen. However, Johnny Rev tries to kiss Sylvia; when she rebuffs him, he scolds and humiliates her. His behaviour becomes increasingly belligerent until Will stands up for Sylvia, getting the group kicked out of the house and squashing the deal. Andy proposes to Katie. Back at his office, Charlie discovers through their shared photo app that Sylvia had been hanging out at Lucky Penny in the week after being fired, and Vanessa discovers through social media stalking that Gandalf the lizard originally belonged to Will, which Sylvia had concealed from her family.

Will tries to talk to his partners about cutting him into the "Da Booch" business. He comes over to help survey the garage but quickly discovers that it's damaged. A panic ensues involving a raccoon, and the garage partially collapses. Upon leaving, Will angrily tells Sylvia to deal with her issues with Charlie. Charlie confesses his own jealousy to Sylvia, at not being the most important man in her life, and promises the incident with Vanessa had nothing to do with her. They agree to move forward. At the bar, Will is confronted by his business partners and a lawyer, who want him to sell his share of the business and leave. Will vows to not leave.
