Plot summary

Charlie has a slogan contest at Salinger's, and the winner wants to bring homeless people to have dinner at the restaurant. Charlie has to kick them out so his clients would not leave, and Grace prints in the newspaper a bias opinion what he did, giving him a hard time. They have a discussion, and after Grace admits being wrong about him, they come up with a solution: to allow one evening per week to close the Salinger's Restaurant for a feed-the-homeless dinner. Meanwhile, Sarah is worried because Bailey is drinking too much, but he says he's only celebrating.

He tries to get on the college hockey team, but he's not in good shape, so he gets invited to join the wrestling team, which is the worst at the college and his coach, Mr. Petrocelli, is too lenient on the team. Bailey does not support Sarah's new job, and they have a fight. She says he's changed since he moved in with Callie. Julia is having problems with the roofers, Sam and his brother Alec. Alec offers her pot, and she turns it down. She talks with his brother, Sam, and he fires Alec. They flirt. Also, Claudia tries to get back at Charlie for not letting her go to the conservatory.
