An old business associate of Alan (Murray) returns after joining a cult known as Spirentology claiming he created ""The Sword of Damacles"". The cult demands Alan pay them for using the show. Alan sends Victor to join the cult in order to beg Murray to drop the whole thing. The plan backfires however when Victor becomes ""transparent"" and joins the cult himself. The cult leader blackmails Alan for $50,000 in exchange for releasing their new cult member Victor. Meanwhile Alan is obsessing over his age when he discovers a gray hair... down there. Throughout all of it a mysterious company is trying to recruit Veronica and Richard without the other's knowledge. All the while they are trying to destroy eachothers reputation.

A hard hitting journalist wants to do a piece on Pyramid. The group is nervous since she tends to expose all of the dirty little secrets within a company, and within Pyramid, there are plenty.
