When they’re given another chance by the buyer, Alice carelessly signs Frank’s name to the order without consulting him. Frank is fired and the company is threatened with a lawsuit, and Frank breaks up with Alice. She apologizes to the boss and to the irate buyer, and everything is resolved. Alice and Frank reconcile.
