Synopsis of The Buying Game


Written by TK

Grace has the option to buy the studio in which she works, which she's currently renting. She gets Will to be her lawyer in the deal. Her landlord comes to her and says that there's another buyer, and he needs an answer now or never, and he tried calling Will but he wouldn't return calls. Grace gets him to shave 5% off the price and signs the deal. When she tells Will, he says she got screwed, and her landlord never tried to call him, and she should have gotten a lot more than 5% off. Will sets up another meeting with the landlord, and through insulting Grace's business-sense, calling the landlord's lie, and threatening to report the landlord for his dishonest dealings, he gets the landlord to agree to a new lower price. Grace, however, cannot rejoice over the money she is saving, because she is too insulted by the things that Will said about her. The next day they meet with the landlord and the new contracts, and Grace has a nervous breakdown, claiming she can't sign the papers because her life is such a mess. The landlord takes pity on her, and lowers the price even more. As he leaves the room, she dries her fake tears and signs the papers with a triumphant nod to Will. Will then wipes the floor with her at Monopoly to prove that he is still a ruthless business-man.

Meanwhile, Jack has decided to start a career as a masseur, and needs 100 hours of training in order to be certified. He begs Karen and finally convinces her to be his guinea pig, even though she doesn't even really like massages. As soon as his hands touch her back, she is heaven, and can't get enough of him. She starts shelling out money to have him come by her house and massage her all the time, until he starts to feel used and abused and backs out of the relationship.
