In "Just Shoot Me" season 2 episode 13, titled "Pass the Salt," the staff of Blush magazine is preparing for a big awards ceremony that they are expected to win. Maya and her father Jack are at odds with each other when Jack takes credit for Maya's hard work on a photo spread. Meanwhile, Finch invites his girlfriend to the ceremony but is conflicted when he realizes that she is more interested in meeting celebrities than supporting him.
At the awards ceremony, Maya is ecstatic when Blush wins the trophy, but is taken aback when her father is the one who goes up to accept it. Maya confronts Jack about his actions and discovers that he had been feeling inadequate with his own career and wanted to feel important again. Maya helps him understand the hurt he caused her and they reconcile.
Elsewhere, Nina is upset that her ex-boyfriend is at the ceremony with his new girlfriend and tries to make him jealous by flirting with Finch. However, Finch is preoccupied with his own girlfriend's behavior, who ends up making a scene by interrupting the ceremony to take pictures with celebrities. Finch realizes that he and his girlfriend are not compatible and breaks up with her, leading him to find comfort in Nina's company.
The episode ends with Maya and Jack having a heart-to-heart about the future of Blush and Maya's role in it. They come to an understanding and Jack apologizes for taking credit for her work. The two leave the awards ceremony on good terms and ready to tackle whatever comes next for the magazine.
