Episode Descriptions:

Episode 1: Gods and Dangerous Financial Instruments In the Season 1 premiere, Marty and The Pod travel to New York to consult for MetroCapital, a bank looking for a plan to unscrupulously justify their year-end bonuses as the financial world around them burns, but Marty makes an enemy of Greg Norbert, MetroCapital's number two executive. Back at home, Marty receives unwanted parenting advice from his live-in father Jeremiah when his son Roscoe decides to audition for the female lead in a school play.

Episode 2: Amsterdam Marty and The Pod are sent to Phoenix to clean up a mess at a very powerful sports franchise caused by the impending divorce of its high-powered owners. Jeannie takes a dinner meeting with Derek, an old flame, but is deflated when she finds out his real intentions toward her. On the home front, Marty continues his personal war with Principal Gita over Roscoe's cross-dressing.

Episode 3: Microphallus Marty arrives at the offices to find Greg Norbert there to announce the possible acquisition of Galweather by MetroCapital; the Pod flies to Indiana to consult for a beverage company, where Marty applies his management skills to turn a loss into a win; Clyde questions whether Doug really hooked up with a transvestite; Roscoe struggles with the confusing feelings of liking both a boy and a girl.

Episode 4: Mini-Mogul With Jeremiah out of town, Marty is forced to bring his son Roscoe to his next job in San Francisco; hoping for some quality time with his dad, Roscoe ends up spending it all with the Pod when Marty is forced to babysit Alex Katsnelson, the teenage CEO of a security software company. Meanwhile, Jeannie reacts to her recent engagement by having a tryst with Kurt, a tortured musician she randomly meets in a coffee house.

Episode 5: Utah On a consulting gig in Utah, Jeannie is put in charge when it becomes clear that the racist CEO of a no-frills motel chain won't take Marty seriously. Meantime, Clyde tries to make inroads with a nice Mormon virgin. On the home front, Monica decides to spend some quality time with Roscoe after she gets spurned by a married man she's been seeing. But things turn very dark, and Roscoe comes away with a little more understanding about his mom, and a lot more appreciation for his dad.

Episode 6: Our Descent Into Los Angeles Marty goes to war with his son's school when Roscoe is accused of sexual harassment for trying to kiss a boy.On the home front, his personal life is further complicated when April, a stripper Marty met in New York, reappears. Elsewhere, Jeannie starts to get cold feet at the prospect of her upcoming wedding.

Episode 7: Bareback Town When The Pod goes to Washington, DC, to consult for a pharmaceutical company, Marty faces a challenge from April to stay monogamous on the road - which puts Jeannie in the position of having to take one for the team and 'satisfy' a female client. Back at home, Jeremiah reveals something serious to April, asking for her confidence until he can tell Marty himself. At episode's end, a jealous Monica drops a huge bombshell on Marty.

Episode 8: Veritas Marty and The Pod take part in the annual Galweather-Stearn recruiting event, where the best and brightest from Harvard Business School are wined and dined. Once there, Marty teaches James, the lone black recruit in this predominantly white business, the most important thing he knows.Meanwhile, Doug sets out to prove to Clyde that he can coach any one of the possible recruits onto 'the list', while Jeannie grills a sexy, flirty recruit to see if she's all style and no substance - a stance that becomes very hypocritical when we learn a secret Jeannie has been hiding.

Episode 9: Ouroboros The consultants get consulted when Marty and The Pod are put through the ringer by their arch-rival firm, Kinsley-Johnson - all part of the due diligence MetroCapital is performing for the upcoming merger. Meanwhile, Jeannie does her best to keep Wes and the marriage at bay, but fails to keep it a secret from Marty. April and Roscoe bond. But just as Marty feels he has things under control at home, he learns about the secret Jeremiah has been hiding just as he receives shocking news from Monica.

Episode 10: Prologue and Aftermath Jeannie embarks on a gig to establish her own legend in the world of consultants when she leads The Pod to her hometown to resurrect an ailing church. On the home front, Monica's powers of manipulation reach new heights, threatening Marty's relationship with April.

Episode 11: Business Marty and "The Rainmaker" work together to put the kibosh on their firm's impending acquisition by MetroCapital. But a back-stabbing twist of events leaves Marty with "The Rainmaker" as his mortal enemy instead of valued ally. Marty has to deal with attitude from his son, Roscoe, in the aftermath of the news about April.

Episode 12: The Mayan Apocalypse With the help of Greg Norbert, Marty and The Pod fight to pull off an 11th-hour reprieve and stop the MetroCapital acquisition from happening. Meanwhile, Jeannie makes a decision about marrying Wes; while Marty's son, Roscoe, makes a life-altering decision of his own.
