After a complaint from celebrity Jack didn't personally accept her compliment, Nolita's owner Pino forces Jack to become available and hire a deputy chef. To best mate Steven's horror, that's not him but Jack's cooking school classmate Becky Sharp. She soon wins everybody's respect and sympathy. Her presence stirs rivalry, especially between pastry chef Seth and fish specialist Teddy. Jack loves 'flirting' with clients, notably female ones, but soon grows jealous of her, being de facto replaced professionally himself. Mimi is jealous of her 'charity case' friend 'Jess-Jess', who visits her with rich, gorgeous boy-friend Kyle, so she decides to sabotage their romantic engagement.
