Mac wasn’t the only one fired tonight though, Charlie and Frank are at a sushi bar, waiting to meet with some Japanese businessmen. Since Frank said he wanted the sushi dinner to be the tits, the rolls are lying across a naked Japanese girl. Charlie starts the conversation with broken English, thinking the Japanese would understand him better, and then proceeds to discuss the abundance of crow eggs around the city and how the two companies could do some great projects related to that. Charlie’s complete ineptitude at business dealings means Frank has to let him go, despite the inside tip that the potential buyers of the company think Dennis is Brian LeFevre, and LeFevre is the primary shareholder in the company.

Of course, now that both Mac and Charlie are fired, they do a bit of scheming of their own, looking to come up with a company that’s totally product based. Their brainstorming is interrupted however by a police detective looking for Brian LeFevre.

Back at the shareholders meeting, Dennis is still pretending to be LeFevre, and is still being courted by the potential buyers. The meeting begins, and Frank talks about how much he loves the company until he’s interrupted by Mac and Charlie rushing in with news about the company. They show a video of their new product, Fight Milk, which is the first alcoholic, dairy-based, protein drink, which, when drunk every morning, lets you fly like a crow.

The video has nothing to do with the news they had, which they share afterward. It turns out LeFevre is dead. He was killed outside Paddy’s Pub by a mugger, and Charlie has his finger in a bag. This causes a great commotion, where everyone wants to know just who this LeFevre impostor is. The only identity Dennis gives is as a man who just got off. And he got off multiple times during the video, during the reveal that he’s an impostor, and even when Charlie held up the finger.

Frank tries to regain control of the audience, and he starts his speech again, but is interrupted by a phone call. It turns out Frank has sold the company to the Japanese and they’re shutting it down meaning everyone is fired. He may love the company, but not nearly as much as he loves money.
