Hal's life is getting even slower as his unemployment insurance has run out and he has nothing to do and no money on which to live. Nick is frustrated with Hal being such a slacker. This coincides with Nick meeting a new friend in the building by the name of Wayne Ross. Hal openly dislikes Wayne, partly out of jealousy. Hal confides in Alicia who thinks perhaps Nick is going through a crisis of some sort in his life, but also thinks that his and Nick's issues are a manifestation of Hal's slacker attitude. As such, Hal decides to turn his life around. It ends up not being as easy as he thought. But Nick eventually finding out that Wayne isn't everything he professes to be and Hal's close encounter with the apartment skunk brings Hal and Nick's life full circle, but better as Hal decides to go back to school to get certified in urban wildlife management. Meanwhile, Stu has hired a new building manager, Elvis Michalowsk, who becomes the bane of Yuri's existence.
