The Bad News: Our boss locked our keys inside the building. 

The Good News: We didn't have to wait around for a locksmith. 

The Bad News: My boss finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory™. I was too embarrassed to admit that the real reason I learned was because, at thirteen, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress cute girls. 

The Good News: A cute girl saw me do it. 

The Bad News: It was Maggie,  and since she's already seen me fall out of several trees, cry because I saw a fawn that was just too small, and knows I can ride a unicycle, she'll never think i'm cool no matter what I do. It's too late. She knows.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
