Stan is concerned with Millie's competitiveness when she and Taylor go head to head in a hot food eating rivalry. Meanwhile, Joyce, who isn't a good judge of fantasy-romance manuscripts, passes the job of picking their next book over to Crystal – a self-proclaimed expert in the genre.

Millie becomes disillusioned after not being thanked for returning a lost wallet and Stan tries to convince her that doing a good deed is its own reward. Over at Haddison House, Crystal stocks up on Joyce's favourite snack to prevent her from turning into a total witch and Taylor wrangles Anna into helping him buy a bobblehead online.

Stan tries to teach Millie how to be successful at losing when she's nominated for a Literary Award. Taylor shows Joyce a thing or two about schmoozing a potential client while Anna and Crystal spend the evening over-embellishing stories about their lives to strangers.
