Josh Flug, a one-time Hollywood hot shot, is persuaded by his friend, Marty, to move into the El Capitan apartment building, dubbed "The Captain" by its residents. With its eccentric group of tenants, he realizes this is the fresh start he needs.

With help from Jesus and Uncle Saul, Josh tries to plan the perfect dinner for Hope. Meanwhile, Marty shacks up with Josh after being kicked out of his apartment by his live-in girlfriend.

Marty and Josh are joined by Uncle Saul and Jesus for a guys' night out, while Hope tries to make girlfriends in the building so she is not alone on a Friday night.

After Marty lands Josh a meeting with the president of Paramount, Uncle Saul insists on helping him with his pitch. Also, while Jesus is busy checking the building's smoke detectors, Astrid stands in for him at the front desk.
