After sustaining an injury while playing with his daughter, Jack decides that he has to get into better shape. At Nina's recommendation, he interviews a well-respected personal trainer who works in the building. And while Craig initially questions his commitment, Jack persuades him that he'll do whatever it takes. Meanwhile, as Nina wonders why she isn't attracted to Craig, Elliott feels left out when Maya and Finch collaborate on a screenplay. After a few workouts, Jack decides he can't handle anymore and leaves it up to Nina to fire Craig. When Nina cannot convince him that Jack no longer needs his services, Finch steps in to help. However, after Craig offers to put him and Maya in touch with a successful movie producer, Finch lets Craig in to see Jack. Meanwhile, after trying to talk Nina into collaborating on a screenplay with him, Elliott is disappointed when she ends up working with Maya and Finch instead. When the workouts prove to be more than he can bear, Jack insists that Nina get Craig too drunk to show up the following day. And when he's unable to live up to his end of the bargain, it's Craig, not Jack, who quits. However, after realizing he'll never be able to keep up with his young daughter unless he does something fast, Jack orders Nina to bring Craig back at once. Finally, after quickly dismissing Maya and Finch's script, producer Charlie Gold is approached by Elliott with an idea all his own.
