    Storyline

    Edit
    After Matt's sex play with Danika has gone viral he faces the sack from Merc whilst Beverly is still vainly trying to help the reclusive Carol. Matt's appeal to network head Elliot Salad does not work to his advantage as sponsors withdraw their support for the show. However the resultant controversy results in a vast improvement in its ratings and Matt is reinstated. Meanwhile Beverly and Sean try to persuade Tim to employ a wheelchair-bound actor for their new sitcom. —don @ minifie-1

    Episode 5.2
    Matt's video of misbehaving wit one of the contestants in the reality game show, The Box has gone viral. The release was authorised by Lapidus who hates Matt and thinks the host is easily replaceable.

    Matt having a good night's sleep is unaware of the media storm that has been unleashed. Advertisers are pulling out and his career is in trouble. The producers are not sure whether to pull the final show he recorded for them.

    Sean and Beverly are auditioning for actors for their new show. As always Tim goes against any of their suggestions which means seeing an audition from a disabled actor whose wheelchair cannot even get into the room.

    As always another amusing look at the shallowness of Hollywood. Elliot Salad the network boss tells Matt a tale of his own behaviour when he was younger which was basically a sexual assault and then tells people immediately after that he always found Matt creepy.
