The Cook, the Creep, His Lover and Her Sister
Jake returns to Los Angeles where he receives a $50,000 reward by the FBI for helping them in the Palmer Woodward case after the arrest of Brittany, in which he uses the money to buys Shooters. Jane refuses to believe Sydney's allegation that Chris is harassing her, even when Jake confirms it after witnessing one of Chris' lurid comments he makes to Sydney. Jane (at Chris' urging), throws Sydney out of her apartment and fires her. Chris makes things worse when he tells Jane and Sydney's parole officer a fabricated story about Sydney harassing HIM, and then tries to force himself upon Sydney as she closes up Shooters. Susan Madsen, a restaurant chef and Alison's old college roommate, moves in with her and captures the attention of Billy. Meanwhile, Peter won't allow Michael and Kimberly to appear in an ad campaign for D&D, but when he meets Amanda for the first time, he changes his mind fast.
