Ep 9. Doug Day Afternoon

Doug Day Afternoon focuses on the aftermath of a company's holiday party where Allen and Marcus had a wild night. As the two partners try to piece together the events of the evening, they get a call from Doug the janitor revealing that he has been taken hostage by a disgruntled former employee.

The episode starts with Allen and Marcus lying in bed, hungover and trying to remember what happened the night before at the party. Their conversation leads them to believe that they may have made some questionable decisions, but they both choose to brush it off and continue with their day. However, their plans are derailed when Doug calls their office and reveals that he has been taken hostage.

Allen and Marcus are stunned and immediately go into action mode to try and save Doug. They call the police but quickly realize that they need to take matters into their own hands, as the police response time may not be fast enough to save Doug's life. Thus, they set out on their own to find Doug and free him from the perilous situation he is in.

Their journey leads them on a wild ride through the city as they try to track down the location of the kidnapper and Doug, all while trying to keep a low profile and avoid suspicion. Along the way, they encounter obstacles such as roadblocks, missed turns, and uncooperative witnesses, but they manage to stay on track and eventually locate the kidnapper's hideout.

Once they arrive at the hideout, they devise a plan to rescue Doug while staying hidden and avoiding confrontation with the kidnapper. Their plan works and they are able to free Doug, but not before a tense showdown with the kidnapper that leaves them all shaken up.

After the ordeal, Allen and Marcus return to the office and reflect on the events of the day. They come to the realization that they never would have been able to save Doug if they hadn't worked together as partners, and that their success was a result of their unique dynamic and commitment to each other. They also come to terms with their actions at the party, and decide to be more responsible going forward.

Overall, Doug Day Afternoon is a fast-paced, action-packed episode that highlights the strength of the partnership between Allen and Marcus. It shows the lengths they will go to for each other and the people they care about, and how their differences and quirks make them a formidable team. The episode offers humor, suspense, and heart, and is a great addition to the first season of Partners.
