Synopsis

Carol mediates a dispute between Sanjay and Casey, who has a pet at work. Sanjay is aggressive while Casey is non-assertive. Carol finds the middle ground but later Sanjay argues with Mana and reveals his hand in the disappearance of Casey’s pet. Sanjay has time to rethink his intimidating ways and offers Casey a stuffed ‘pet’ as a peace offering in Marcus’ team building session.

Casey believes she is within her rights to have a pet in the office, but Sanjay finds it disgusting and wants it disallowed. They argue about working styles. Sanjay is direct and aggressive while Casey remains passive and non-assertive. Carol finds a middle ground that the two can agree upon. Later, Sanjay and Mana are arguing about a misplaced piece of work. The conversation ends uncomfortably with Sanjay ordering Mana not to tell Casey about what he did to her pet. Later, in a meeting, Marcus asks for team-building contributions.
