Michael is a regular customer at American Jewelry, but the feeling is not mutual among the clerks, as everything he brought in was all but worthless.

113 | 17 | "Back in Action" | August 20, 2013 | |
Les, now fully back in charge following his hernia operation, puts the staff on notice that everyone's job is at risk – including Seth and Ashley, who Les says contributed to a drop in American Jewelry's revenue in all departments.

Since Ashley resumed being a manager, she felt that she had every right to order Seth around, as he was still on probation.

A man brings in a 160-year-old Tiffany watch, which has no markings identifying it as such, other than the name on the watch face. The watch was sent to Tiffany to verify it, but they refused to take a look at it unless they own the watch. However, the man asks for $40,000 – the value of the insurance that Tiffany purchased to send it back – but says that he could get $100,000 for it.

121 | 25 | "The Outsider" | October 29, 2013 | |
With the price of gold continuing to drop and the store still losing money, Seth determines that part of the problem resides in purchasing items that are slow- or no-sellers, a cluttered sales floor, and a 50,000 square foot warehouse that is overloaded with junk that Les refuses to part with. To help solve the problem, Seth brings in a consultant to determine the best solution to the problem. But while everyone was interested in what he was saying, the only person who was reluctant to any change was Les. | ||||
