Throughout the party, various employees cut loose: Nate(Karan Soni) tries to impress two of his staff by hiring an escort named Savannah (Abbey Lee) to pretend to be his girlfriend, though Nate is found out when she gives a handjob to a fellow employee; Clay's assistant and single-mom, Allison(Vanessa Bayer) attempts to hook up with new hire Fred(Randall Park) but stops when he reveals he has a mother-child fetish; and Customer Service supervisor Jeremy cuts loose on the dance floor with Mary, whom he previously despised. Josh and Tracey get stuck on the roof and nearly kiss before Jeremy interrupts them.
