We open on Simon, Zach and Andrew pitching to two men from the Australian Tourist Board via Skype. Yet, once they are off with the men, Simon tells Zach and Andrew how much he hates Australia, that he only went there once on his last alcoholic bender.
Sydney shows Lauren, Zach and Andrew her interview in AdAge magazine. She’s a bit dejected that they called her “aloof and standoffish.” Lauren then brings Sydney a big congratulatory gift basket that was sent to her. Sydney reads the card, it’s from Danny Chase, “a nice slightly geeky jingle guy” Sydney worked with at the first advertising agency she worked at. He got fired and Sydney consoled him. Danny also wrote a jingle for Sydney that sounds a bitter stalker-esque but catchy. Sydney thanks him via Facebook so she doesn’t have to give him her email address and thinks that’s the end of it. Danny (played by singing sensation Josh Groban) calls her at the office. He invites her to his new CD’s launch party but Sydney says she’s busy.
Meanwhile, Zach and Andrew are tormenting her in the background with Danny’s song about her and how he’s stalking her. Danny asks if they could have coffee sometime and Sydney says yes though she has no intention of “coffee being my last meal.”
Simon, Zach and Andrew pitch their ideas to the two men from the Australian Tourist Board via Skype but the men think their ideas are “too clever” and want them to “dumb it down.”
Everyone at the agency keeps playing Danny’s song about Sydney and she’s getting sick of hearing it. Then, Danny shows up at the agency and asks Sydney to lunch. She declines saying she was trying to let him down easy and that they “barely knew each other” anyway. Danny says that he now he sees he was wrong about her and he leaves.
Simon, Zach and Andrew pitch more ideas to the Australian Tourist Board reps, but the men don’t like any of their ideas. Then, they spontaneously start playing Danny’s song for them and they love it! Simon then wants Sydney to go to Danny’s CD launch party and make nice with him so he’ll sell the his song to them to use. Sydney isn’t sure it will work since she just blew him off.
They all go to Danny’s CD launch party. Sydney apologizes to Danny and tells him honored she was that he wrote the song. Simon then tells Danny that they want to buy the song to use in a commercial. Danny doesn’t see why he should sell them his song about her since they “barely know each other” as she said. Sydney apologizes again but Danny says that when he was fired she told him that life “was more than jingles and to write from my heart and it changed my life. So, that ‘weird’ song was my thank you to you. But, it didn’t mean anything to you anyway. So, maybe you’ll like my new song better.’” He then gets up on stage and sings his new song, “We Barely Knew Each Other,” which blatantly mentions how Sydney wasn’t the girl he thought she was. The crowd loves it as does Zach, Andrew and Lauren despite Sydney’s evil eye to them.
Simon goes to talk to Danny after the show. Simon tells him how much he loved his new song and how it was better than the love song he wrote Sydney. “You mean the silly song you came here to buy,” replies Danny. Simon then tells Danny that he scared Sydney and he became an artist through her rejection, “Great songs aren’t about getting the girl, great songs are about not getting the girl,” Simon tells Danny, who then asks Simon if he “needs” Sydney’s inspiration. Simon replies that they can both use the situation to their advantage.
Simon goes back to the gang saying that Danny will sell the song in exchange for Sydney “occasionally blowing him off. If Danny’s ever blocked, you have to find some way of…disappointing him.” Everyone but Andrew thinks it’s “genius.” Sydney’s not sure she can forget that “she was the biggest part of someone’s life.” Simon then reminds her of when he came back from his trip to Australia, “That trip cost me everything I ever cared about. My wife, my home…everything except you. You planned a big birthday party for me that night. I repaid you by coming home at 2:30 in the morning blitzed out of my mind. The party was long over and you were asleep. I was afraid you’d be mad so I didn’t wake you. Do you remember what you did the next morning?” She says she doesn’t.
Flashback to Simon waking up on Sydney’s couch to a slice of birthday cake and a “Happy birthday, Dad” card.
Back to the party and Simon telling Sydney that she didn’t judge him and “because of that…because of you…I never had another drink. See, your kindness changed my life too.” Sydney replies that she never knew that and they hug.
Once everyone left, Simon and Danny start singing Danny’s love song instead with hate lyrics about Australia. As they’re singing, Simon then says he thinks all the bad things happened in New Zealand not Australia. Regardless, they keep singing.
