bookstores sell coffee but Mary informs him that they don't sell coffee he assumes that what she means is that he's got to buy a book first so he picks up a random book and pays for it then requests to have his coffee she takes him back to the beginning of the conversation where she informs him that they don't sell coffee he feels frustrated and requests to have his money back unfortunately the bookstore doesn't accept returns she reminds him that he bought the book less than 30 seconds ago and she can't make an exception for anyone when it comes to the store policy Erica calls Adam's phone

suggests that Mary create a better way to connect to the People by sponsoring her neighborhood kids hockey league or doing more advertising at nearby businesses Janet emphasizes the need to do a big party for the bookstore's 40th anniversary and then take advantage of that to get the whole neighborhood to come out and celebrate with them Mary loves all her PR ideas but the problem now is that she needs to have the money that she can put into making all these ideas a reality unfortunately her business is going through a pretty slow time and things are quite tight Janet reminds her that people don't come to seek her when their businesses are flourishing but only when they are broken she urges Mary to believe in her ability to fix things even though she doesn't know how to go about it she is convinced that the right opportunities will present themselves and when it does they have to be ready Adam visits Erica's office after refusing to pick up her calls she is pissed and informs Adam that he will be cut out of 10 games he pleads with her and reminds her that she could talk to her father who is the owner of the team and just maybe he could give him another chance with Erica's reluctance towards helping him out Adam thinks it's because she has some lingering feelings after their breakup she angrily reminds him that she broke up with him 5 years ago and not the other way around she doesn't like being a tense person but he seems to be bringing out that part of her she decides to add one game to his suspension for everything he says that makes her mad which means in about 10 minutes he's going to be out for the rest of the season Adam realizes that his gimmicks might get him into more trouble so he sigh and seeks her advice on how to remedy the situation Erica hands him a card and informs him to call their PR person and he will be working with her to fix his image while he's on suspension she advises him to do whatever Janet says and not argue with her or think he had better ideas than her G completely gets the message she's trying to pass and since he has no other option he agrees to take the chance but not without pissing her off he reminds her that he broke up

conversation about taking a vacation to the Caribbean their mother tries to convince her husband Paul that they can engage in adventurous trips and vacations since they are retired and their children are capable of taking care of the bookstore Tyler and Mary look at each other as the conversation between their parents might be heading in their Direction soon Paul inquires about Tyler's studies and he pretends to have an issue with a particular balance sheet that keeps coming up red Mary knows he's talking about the bookstore's balance sheet she cuts in saying that Tyler has sought the services of an adviser and he doesn't know what to do yet Paul further advises his son to try out all he's got even if he has to go outside of his comfort zone their mother brings back the topic of the Caribbean Crews since they are now talking about moving out of one's comfort zone her tone causes the rest of the family to laugh at her sense of humor Adam pays a visit to Janet's office and after looking through his file she confesses that his record is quite bad however they need to find a way to make people like him but Adam thinks people already like him however Janet already had her team do a flash poll after Erica called her last night and the results she got weren't good but the good news is that people love the idea of a second chance for him and they are open to giving him one in a bid to save his reputation Janet suggests pairing him with a respected member of the society who can balance things up and then involve him in some local activities and maybe do some unteer work she thinks it will be a good PR for both him and whoever she pairs him up with Adam sigh and asks if she already has someone in mind fortunately Mary's call comes in and after the call Janet Smiles like a genius she stands up to Usher the person inside upon opening the door Mary walks and apologizing for coming unannounced but she also wants to inform Janet that she's willing to do whatever to make the whole thing work Janet smiles and ushers her in she informs the clients in her office that she will be pairing them up with each other Adam gets up to see his partner but is surprised to see Mary The Duo recogn izes each other and instantly they refuse to work with each other Janet goes through quite a tough time convincing both of them why they need to work together if they desire to save what matters most to them she puts in all her effort until she is finally able to convince the duo to work together Mary and Adam feel uncomfortable with Janet's ideas but they have something more important to lose if they don't left with no choice they decide to take the chance and set their differences aside for a while the following day Mary and her brother meet up with Janet and Adam at

believes to think too highly of herself and won't listen to others because she thinks she knows better than anyone else he is not interested in working with her anymore Erica and Chuck are enjoying Adam's despair as they make justest of him being a great match for Mary since they have the same attributes Adam realizes that they are simply making fun of him and they are not ready to hear him out so he angrily leaves Erica's office Tyler assists in putting up posters for the junior hockey tournament he believes this is the kind of PR they need but Mary thinks otherwise she reminds him that they can still back out but Tyler tells her that it's too late already and if she takes down the posters he's only going to put them back on the walls later Mary meets with the kids at their training ground but Adam is nowhere to be found one of the little boys named Noah who admires Adam a lot comes to meet her requesting to know when their coach will be coming fortunately the door opens to reveal Adam and he apologizes for coming late Noah is excited to see him he loves the fact that Adam makes trouble with the refs but Mary rebukes him stating that trouble is not cool Adam suggests that they call it truce until after practice so the kids can have a great time they soon start training with Adam when Mary comes to interfere he makes his point clear causing Mary to back off since she knows nothing about hockey after the training she goes back into the bookstore and decides to do some reading about the game just so she will be well prepared to confront Adam the day for the tournament arrives and Mary does not hesitate to show off that she has done some readings she briefs the kids about the history of hockey Adam is almost pissed at the way she is going on about the few things she picked up from the book he cheers the kids on so they can get on to the pitch for their game in the middle of the game the referee penalizes one of Adam's students which prompts him to react the media instantly turns towards him while Mary is pleading with him to keep it down next thing there are various headlines in the newspaper highlighting Adam's Behavior Janet isn't expecting to get such headlines after putting in much work the duo realizes that they need more positive updates about them and not negative remarks so they decide to call a real truce this time Janet reminds them that they have 3 weeks until the winter anniversary party and they need to get working on how to make it a successful one plus they are going to do a trial run at a book fair this week on getting home Mary seeks her mom's advice she wonders how her parents were able to run the bookstore for years without any problems while she has only been doing that for barely a year and she seems to have truckloads of problems the next day Mary arrives at the bookstore and finds a truck right in front of her store that has her sign on it she questions the guy in it who informs her that Adam already paid for his services and about three people are waiting to get a book and their free coffee later in the day Mary thanked Adam for helping her get ready for the book fair and the coffee truck because

down they Point her attention to the number of clients they've been getting lately which is all thanks to the pr they've been doing Janet leaves the siblings and Tyler starts giving Mary some exaggerated Praises she knows he wants something so she urges him to spill already and he requests to record their book chat tonight as a podcast she feels uncomfortable with the idea because she gets embarrassed talking to a lot of people but he assures her that he will edit the parts where she gets embarrassed besides it's not like she will be seeing them so it's worth the try meanwhile Chuck
