Stephanie is torn between Charlie's sentimentality and the reality that they could both profit greatly from selling these belongings.

The situation becomes even more complicated when Stephanie's best friend, Aaron (played by Sydney Park), comes over to help and ends up wanting to bid on the items up for auction.
