In her tiny apartment Francine gets ready for a job interview. Katchoo says why bother, the rent's free, she's going to start painting again, and they can live off that until they can get the money in Switzerland. But Francine has her heart set on it. Katchoo suggests she lies to them in the interview, since that's what advertising agencies do anyway. Lie. Katchoo sends her on her way. What a ditz, she mutters. "But she's so cute!" The landlady flirts with Katchoo after Francine leaves.

David shows up and invites Katchoo to lunch. She'd rather paint David nude. He thought she forgot all about that. She has to talk him into doing it again. "We're artists!" she says. "We leave these magic images in our wake like the footprints of God! What is a gallery but a collection of fires set by the stars who fell to Earth!" At the end, Katchoo tells him this is her way of getting closer to David. He can either accept it or reject it, no conditions. He says yes.

At the agency Francine witnesses a high-pressure brainstorming session as the employees hash out ideas for an account. Then the boss is ready to do the interview. Francine tries to remember all the things Katchoo told her to say, but she completely muffs her lines. Somehow Francine gets the job anyway because the boss is so stressed out she can't even focus on reality and see that Francine has zero experience.

In the elevator after the interview Francine is on the left side of a bookcase a man is moving. On the right side a pair of men come in talking trash about the new girl who was just hired. They really grind Francine into the dust, because they have no clue she is there. The man moving the bookcase tries to be sympathetic to her, but she leaves in tears, wishing she could get even and make men crawl.

On the street on the way home Francine passes a gym. An athletic woman intimidates a man in the street who is staring at her and tells him to get out of his face. Francine decides to join that gym.
