S03E19 Birth of a Salesman
Episode Overview
Faced with pressure from his parents to either enroll in college or find work, JT takes a part-time job as a sales assistant at a used-car dealership. To his surprise, he not only enjoys the role but also discovers he has a knack for selling cars. Grateful to Carol for motivating him to get off the couch, he dreams of one day owning the lot and even stars in a commercial for it. Meanwhile, Dana needs to complete an essay for her psychology class. After Mark and Karen decline her request for help, she ends up enlisting Cody as her subject. Although she describes him as eccentric in her paper, her teacher deems her perspective narrow-minded, resulting in a "D." Now, Dana must redo her assignment, focusing on someone's dreams for a week; despite Cody’s eagerness to help, she turns him down.
