David 'Augie' Augustine has landed a logo designer job on trial basis in New Yorker Max Ellis's new San Diego office. Cyrus soon regrets taking the fortuneteller's advice to contact his immigrant parents 'to find fortune', as they emotionally blackmail him to take over dad's boring shop. Daphne is enthusiastic that her lifelong dream-house is for sale, but Marty needs all their capital to invest in a restaurant, which would establish him as a chef. Their search enabled Belle to renew contact with Philip Emmerson, the silver spoon stud she missed out on by entering the wrong prom limousine. He's now a major architect, but also rather spoiled and high-maintenance, petty in her eyes, unlike Max, whom she wants to grant a date but dares not as he's not an ex and Augie fears for his job if they break up.
