Nick (Wilson Cleveland) is living his best life. Celltons has become the number-two cell phone button company ever since Eve Randall (Illeana Douglas) fired Alina and put him back in charge of hiring temps. Little does Nick know that Eve has hired his estranged half-brother Eddie (Craig Bierko) to keep an eye on him. But Eddie has his own score to settle and secretly teams up with Alina to humiliate Nick and push him out of the company. Nick teams up with Cook (Milo Ventimiglia),the office lunch cart guy to catch a pastrami sandwich thief. Nick gets conned into hiring Thomas Clancy (Mark Gantt), the worst corporate spy in the history of corporate spies. Stevie P. (Sandeep Parikh) gets into a love triangle with Nancy Roder (Taryn Southern) and her twin sister Tammy (Jessica Lee Rose). The temps undergo corporate sensitivity training led by Counselor Rick (Tony Janning), a de-motivational speaker on the verge of a nervous breakdown. In the series finale episode titled “Return of the Eddie” which aired on January 23, 2011, Nick and Eddie reconcile and quit Celltons to open a lemonade stand in Mexico. They take all of the temps with them, leaving Alina all alone.
