Cheryl realizes that Jim is now waiting in the parking lot all day as well. Meanwhile Andy’s girlfriend Carrie (Katie O’Rourke) has left him over a fight about whether he broke her hairdryer of if it died of wear-and-tear. Jim and Cheryl have them over for dinner and try to reconcile them. It initially works when Andy brings her a new hairdryer, but they eventually fight again on whether he broke it or not. Jim tells them that the key to a good relationship is good communication, so Cheryl lets loose on him since he hasn’t told her that he is waiting in the parking lot. Ruby then lets it slip that Jim has put her in a new school. This makes her legitimately furious. Jim then has to tell Ruby he won’t be staying at school because she is getting to the age where she needs to do things she doesn’t want to.
