Even a weekend away from work can't bring the staff of WNYX out of the doldrums, which has gone on for a number of weeks now and created problems for the office climate. Although Dave tries to help by having his staff talk about their problems, he is relegated to the role of observer when Lisa's former college psychology professor is summoned once again to ease the office tension.

The Criterion Building's Santa Claus hire threatens Bill's life, but no one believes the radio personality that Kris Kringle wants to kill him. Later, XMas gifts are exchanged between Mr. James and his staff, but the staff feels that their gift to the boss far exceeds the generosity of his gift to all of them.

With little fanfare, Mr. James decides to sell the station to an AM radio conglomerate. Most of the staff are not happy about it and rumors begin to fly about what the future will hold for them.

While Joe puts his signature talents to good use fixing things around the station, Dave informs the staff that cab rides home will not longer be reimbursed by the station. Later, he accidently overhears the staff making fun of him.

Hearing his coworkers talk about the spread in ball games, Matthew enlists Joe to teach him how to gamble.
