Josh Flug, a has-been Hollywood hot-shot, is convinced by his friend, Marty, to move into the El Capitan apartment building. The ecclectic group of tenants makes Josh realize that moving to The Captain was the fresh start he needed.
Hope is invited by Josh to stay at his apartment while his brother is away, but Josh is convinced by Saul that it would be a bad idea and that he should stay at another apartment in the building that he refers to as his "weekend retreat."
Uncle Saul and Jesus give Josh some bad advice as he tries to plan a perfect evening for a dinner date with Hope.
To get Josh's mind off of Hope, the guys take him for a night out, while Hope makes her own plans to keep from being alone on Friday nights by making a new group of friends.
Saul insists that he helps Josh prepare for an interview he has with the president of Paramount, which was arranged by Marty. Meanwhile, as Jesus checks on the smoke detectors, Astrid temporarily fills in for him.
