- On learning they're not the highest paid writers for their highest rated show, Sally and Buddy go on strike. Rob, speaking on their behalf for raises, gets a bewildering introduction to Alan's convoluted corporate structure.
- Buddy and Sally learn through a trade publication article that the writers for the Cliff Barnett Show - one that is not nearly as funny or as popular as Alan's show - are the highest paid writers in the business. In addition to the fact that Alan actually owns the Cliff Barnett Show, Buddy and Sally feel under-appreciated and want a 10% raise, each - not so much for the money but for the principle - or else they'll quit the show. Rob agrees to act as their intermediary, and Alan sends Rob to his business manager, Doug Wesley, to talk over the issue. Despite Alan's companies doing very well and Alan himself being a very wealthy man, Doug bamboozles Rob with corporate gobbledygook about certain business subsidiaries doing better than others, each being the official employer of different areas of the show. The one that pays Buddy and Sally is currently doing very poorly, hence a raise for the two of them is impossible, but because the subsidiary that pays Rob is doing so well, Doug gives Rob a 15% raise. Rob has to figure out what to do about the new situation of him ending up with more money but not Buddy or Sally.—Huggo
- Through an article in Variety Magazine, Buddy and Sally learn they're not the highest paid writers in the business, though they work on the highest rated TV show. They go on strike to get Rob to speak on their behalf for raises. Alan sends Rob to speak to corporate accountant Doug Wesley, who presents a befuddling picture of Alan's convoluted, world-wide corporate structure - which can easy give Rob a raise but not Buddy or Sally. As Sally and Buddy threaten to quit, Rob threatens to join them if he can't succeed in one last attempt to get The Alan Brady Show to pay Buddy and Sally what they're worth.—statmanjeff
