When barber/aspiring professional baseball player A.J. Salerno gets a phone call from a sports agent wanting to meet with him, he tells his co-worker Danni that this is the big break he's been waiting for, and his barber days will soon be behind him. Meanwhile, the owner of the barbershop, Ben, is determined to fire one of his employees -- Buzzy, Mo, Joy, or Charmaine -- to avoid paying an insurance premium increase.

Danni advises A.J. to give up on his dream of being a ball player, while A.J. inspires Danni to pursue her passion as a singer. Meanwhile, Joy's involvement in an AIDS Walk brings up the issue of charity, and just how cheap Ben can be.

Ben is embarrassed after a one-night stand with Rita Doyle, considering her to be a "go- below." He's offended to find out that Rita is the one who thinks he is below her stature. Meanwhile, Danni is suspicious that a Spanish class that A.J. and Charmaine are taking together might be something more.

The girls are upset that Ben won't pay for the barbershop to have wi-fi, so they go to great lengths to get the wi-fi password from the tattoo parlor next door. Mo spills the beans to the gang that Ben is being peed on in the shower at the gym by somebody he considers a friend, and A.J. decides to do something about it.

After a video of Charmaine insulting customers goes viral, Ben fires her. But when the video starts drumming up business, Ben has to get her back. Mo feels guilty after A.J. breaks his pitching arm.

As Mo tries to come to terms with his parents divorce, the gang has additional insight as to why they might be splitting. A.J. accuses Danni of being jealous when she finds out he has a date.

When the guys learn that Buzzy is gambling with the money he'd set aside for his mother's medication, A.J. and Mo decide to lose a poker game to him on purpose, but it isn't as easy to convince Ben to do the right thing. Danni, Charmaine, and Joy make up the Doyle Sisters for a wedding and discuss what makes for a strong marriage, which causes Joy questions her relationship with Bart.

The gang remembers an embarrassing story of Ben after a high school teacher comes by the barbershop for a haircut. Joy waits for a sign about her marriage.

The gang relives their adolescence at their high school reunion. Meanwhile, Joy is stuck at the barbershop keeping Lonnie company while he waits for his date.
