Joey finally has his grand home ready as love palace, and Howard got him movers- the board of his bank! Alas, after handing the apartment over to Michael, Joey sees on his car TV a villa zone on fire in the Hollywood Hills and a yellow van just like his blocking the firemen- both his and a total burn-up! Either Alex, Gina or Michael must have caused the fire, but neither dares owe up. Joey must now again stay 'at Michael's place', already transformed into his Trekkie nerd mates' Enterprise simulation, in a bunk-bed under total virgin Arthur...

Bobbie has arranged for Joey to go out as 'beard' (fake date) with popular actress Edie but Gina deliberately 'forgets' to tell Joey -not his house-mates- she's a lesbian; he still comes to care for Edie, and encourages her to come out of the closet at the awards evening he's accompanying her to...

After his movie's success, Joey's next step up is gaining creative control (in his mind, the right to cast hooters to his liking) by starting his own production company now Bobbie got him a three movies deal. Joey decides he wants to hire as development executive for his new cool office Jimmy, who understands far more about movies and always wasted his genius (Michael's smart genes) sucking at lousy jobs. James 'Jimmy' Costa insists to do an interview, is his usual rude daft self but Joey twists Warner Bros. VP Trent (whom he still can't recognize after 30 meetings)'s arm to hire his in-law, who proves a changed man: early for work and ambitious- far too much for lazy Joey, and after a while completely out of control, with a 10 year plan to run half the world... Michael discovers people love Joey's movie, except a whole website "JoeyTribbianiSucks.com", which is run by some Gary; no, he never even heard of Joey, but has a teenage daughter Kaley- Joey gives her a charming date, but she persists, as it turns out being jealous because of a teen-boy... Meanwhile Alex has broken up with Dean, and needs to be comforted.
