Nancy Frankenburg wanted Ben and Cam to design a tee shirt for her son's class at the St. Maximilian's prep school. After Ben spends a lot of energy in creating a design that incorporates the school mascot, the shirt is rejected by a blue haired subteen and Nancy's son. They are asked to do something from Crisp, which finally wins their approval.
Cam goes to eat with Lulu at her father's Felix place. He is cooking some pasta, which he insists must be cooked in a proper stove. Later, Cam goes to inspect an apartment that he really likes.

Simon Cellan Jones directed the episode that was written by Vince Calandra. The series shows two hustler friends, Ben and Cam trying to make it in that competitive world of the garment industry. Their lives and dreams are examined in this surprising program which dares to be different. Obviously, the creators know their effort is targeted to a certain age group and they deliver it for them.
The great Luis Guzman is one of the best excuses to tune in. Victor Rasuk and Bryan Greenberg do a nice job as Cam and Ben. Gina Gershon appears as Nancy Frankenburg and Joe Pantoliano, almost unrecognizable, is seen as Lulu's father. Lake Bell, Kid Cudi, Margarita Levieva and the supporting cast add to the enjoyment.
