M2, T2: As Nina prepares to debate a feminist on the radio, a mistake by a new assistant makes Maya late for an important meeting. As Maya gently points out the error, Cindy apologizes. Yet, despite Cindy's promise not to let it happen again, another oversight results in Maya arriving for a staff meeting unprepared. Meanwhile, Elliott and Finch conspire to sabotage Nina's radio debate. As Cindy continues posing problems, Maya turns to her dad for advice. When Jack suggests firing her, Maya doesn't have the nerve. However, after learning that Jack fired the bumbling assistant himself, Maya storms in to his office to complain, only to find herself interrupting another important meeting. And not one to be pushed around by her dad, she hires Cindy back without telling him. As Elliott and Finch work to make sure Nina's vocabulary is as jumbled as possible for the debate, Maya promises that Cindy will work out fine under her tutelage. But when Maya tries covering up her assistant's persistent mistakes, Jack sees through her efforts. Meanwhile, despite the complaints registered by her feminist opponent, Nina's beauty allows her to get away with using the inane gibberish she was fed by Finch and Elliott. Finally, after giving up on Cindy, Maya agrees to let Jack find her another job in the building.
