Okay, Jan. Wow.

What am I looking at?

I call it
Jan vs. Predator.

Hm. And who comes out
on top?

Predator.

Thanks so much, Jan.

Blech!

Feels like I'm trapped in
Antiques Roadshow: Harrisburg.

Oh, thank God!
A friend!

Here to bail me out
with the perfect, unique,

well-thought-out
donation.

-Steak knives? Wow.
-WILL: I'm sorry.

Work has just gotten so crazy,

I didn't have time to curate

one of my signature
silent auction baskets.

And I'm notgoing to donate
a non-curated basket.

Give the man a break.

He does the weather every time
Guy McCormick is sick.

And, let's face it, he's sick,
like, three times a week.

"Sick"? Please.
The man drinks.

Mr. McCormick
has checked into a facility.

That's all
I'm allowed to say.

But it does mean that I'm
going to be doing the weather

for the next 28 nights.

Will, I'm very happy thatyou've become a local celebrity.

-No!
-But that doesn't help me right now.

Right now, what I need from you
is an auction item.

Are you blind?

Will isthe item!

Celebrity is themost precious
metal we have.

It's our Vibranium!

You mean
I'm like Black Panther?

-No.
-No. -Sorry.

It was in front of my face
the whole time.

Will, you arethe item!

Can I put you
in the auction?

You mean like be someone's
butler for a month? Sure.

No, but it's weird
that you'd be okay with that.

I mean a lunch.

A meal with a local
10:00 P.M. fill-in weatherman

could be just the pop
this auction needs.

Maybe.

I mean,
my star ison the rise.

Finally got
my own lapel mic,

unlimited access
to the green screen,

and I'm really honing in
on my on-air laugh.

Ah ha ha ha ha!

Back to you, Julie.

-I'm in!
-Yes!

POPPY: Blank CDs?
Unh-unh.

Keep walking.
Don't even set those down.

Do better, Celeste!

"Gift card --

-D'Amato, you donated this?
-Yeah.

I have no idea
how much is on there.

Could be $250,
could be $12.

That's what makes it
so exciting to bid on!

Yeah.

I'm jealous
of everyone here.

-What'd youdonate?
-This.

DOUGLAS: I can't wait to see
what someone's willing to pay

for $100.

Oh, well, if the bidding's low,
I'm gonna jump in.

Today I got the news
that every parent dreads most.

I have signed up
to participate

in the sport
of ice hockey.

[scoffs]

It's the most expensive sport
on the plant,

unless you count fencing,
which I don't.

Yeah, diving's the dream.
No gear of any kind.

It's 1/5
of a normal sports uniform.

[sighs]
Just a Speedo and a towel.

And I already have towels.

Listen, if Pee-Wee Sports is
driving you to financial ruin,

then you're
doing something wrong.

Let's take a look
at your budget.

If you even have one.

I'm a single mother

living in the second most
expensive city in the country.

I budget.

I budget hard.

WILL: Hey.

Am I allowed to be here?
I mean, what are the rules?

Is it like a candidate
not being allowed

within 100 feet
of a polling place or --

Wait,
nobody's bid on me yet?

The auction
just started,

and no one goes near
the big-ticket items

until they're
at least two Cabs deep.

And you're
a big-ticket item.

-Cool.
-POPPY: Yeah.

You hear that?
We're the big-ticket item.

All right, Dad.

Self-directed pep talk over.
Take a lap.

Yeah, yeah, a lap.
That's a good idea.

[whispering]

[chuckles]

Okay.

My dad's self-esteem pendulum
is very lubricated.

It swings far and fast
in both directions.

And now that he's on TV,
it's even worse.

Sophie,

It's starting!

KZOP at 10:00.
We got you.

Leave me.

Ooh, I love that sun.

You can tell by his sunglasses
that he's nasty.

That sun made my dad cry.

Poppy,
someone has to bid on him.

This isn't just
a silent auction.

This is a man's life.

You're right.

Crap. Garbage.

Trash. Garbage.

You don't have to be

I will make you

Do you girls have any idea
what this is?

A hat.

A hat? A hat?!

This is a beret.

French sophistication distilled

into one timeless
piece of headwear.

And it will be mine.

Miggy, shut up.
This is important.

I need an adult
to bid on this beret for me.

That thing? Why?

Geez, Grandpa.

Because,
like Monica Lewinsky,

K-pop singer Min-ho,and Jack Nicholson as the Joker,

I have style.
You don't.

I adopt early.
You don't.

I lead, and you...

have no taste.

If you're gonna be mean

Your mom can bid on it.

Please?

Fine.

RORY: Follow me, girls.

Jocelyn's dad is auctioning
one of his "ceramics,"

and I have thoughts.

Okay, rent looks good.

What is this tab labeled?

That's my convenience tax.
I can't touch that.

What's a convenience tax?

It's money I spendto make my life a little easier.

I -- I'm too busy
juggling Graham

and my full-time job
and all my hobbies,

like breathing and sleeping
and drinking water,

so sometimes I pay a little morefor certain necessities.

What kind of necessity?
Like food?

Delivery, yep.

Lots of food delivery,
some expedited shipping.

Maybe I'll park in a red zone
here or there or here again.

But trust me, it's all
very, very necessary.

Uh-huh.

Is it necessary
to pay $8

for a quart
of gas station milk?

If all I need is gas and milk,
I'm not making two stops.

Yeah,
but it's just not milk.

You're paying
gas station prices

for toilet paper,
batteries...

salsa?

Hey, when the grocery store
starts selling gas,

they'll start seeing
my salsa dollars again.

O-Okay,
I can't take this anymore.

I'm gonna show you how to turn
your "convenience tax"

into hockey pads.

But I'm gonna have to
take over your life.

Fine.
My life is all yours.

But I must warn you --

there's this guy
in my life

that's gonna be
a real pain in your ass.

His name is Douglas.

You worked hard
for that one.

I'm gonna let you
enjoy it.

[panting]

WILL: All right,
did two laps --

a counterclockwise
and a clockwise.

I just don't want
to overdevelop one thigh.

Well, I hope those
symmetrical thighs are ready

to sit down and have lunch
with an adoring fan,

because you are getting
a lot of bids.

Really? I am?

Oh, that's such a relief.

Okay, so,
how much am I going for?

Three figures? Four?
What's the gender breakdown?

You know what?
La, la, la, la, la, la!

I don't want to know.
[laughs]

-Lap.
-That's a good idea.

He hasn't gotten
a single bid.

What if we change it to

"Lunch and Hike
with KZOP's Will Cooper,

Who Will Also
Hand Detail Your Car"?

Or "Lunch and a dot, dot, dot,
question mark"?

Kind of implying
that it starts with lunch,

but where it goes from there
is unwritten.

Ew! You're talking
about my father.

Sorry.
It's just really easy

to forget that
you're a child sometimes.

[snaps fingers]
I know.

I'lljust bid on him.
Hm?

SOPHIE: No!

That's a pity bid!

We need a realperson
to win this thing.

MAN [on p.a.]:
Final bids, please. Final bids.

Oh, God, I'm blanking!
I can't think of a single real person who isn't me.

Who should I put down?

Someone who eats lunch

and can act like a fan
of KZOP's Will Cooper.

-I don't know any actors!

Actually...

wait a minute.

Dr. Biscuits,
have I got a role for you.

I'm listening.

BISCUITS: [sighs]

Oh, please,

already met.

But I was thinking

Ah, ah!

Okay. Sorry.

Well, I guess all you need
to know is that his name is --

Ah, ah!

I will do my own research,
thank you.

Okay.

Well, is there anything
you need from me at all or --

I need an item of his clothing,
recently worn.

Or a photograph.

I got a photo of him

Please, print it out.

Place it

Yes, it does.

Three times a day,

Okay, you weren't kidding aboutyour dad's self-esteem pendulum.

One lunch, and now
he's ordering straw burgers?

I'm starting to think this
Biscuits thing was a mistake.

-Well, there's
no going back now. -Why not?

Do you not understand
pendulums?

If my dad

he'll swing back even harder

He could turn in

Trench coat? Who's still

Great. Let's keep the convo
there and drill down.

In fact,
I have a lot of them.

They have a group text.
Guess what they text about.

Me!

But for some reason,

I still don't have
my own office

and I have to park
in the overflow lot

for a cartoon sun.

You know what?

I'm gonna call KZOP right now,
