Tyler Brock arrives in New York and Dianna at once asks his help to make Brock warm up to her again. Tyler, however, is reluctant as he feels that his father has always considered him to be a nobody. Carrie warns Brock that Mark is bad news for Jordan. A worried Linda sends a P.I. to find Peter. Jordan introduces Tyler to Gil and Rachel. They all seem to have only nice things to say about Brock but Tyler disagrees and gets drunk before going to face his father. Brock doesn't like his behavior at all and throws him out. Carrie goes to the police with her stolen copy of Mark's book but it's not enough evidence for them to do anything. Meanwhile, Mark buys a cute, little puppy and leaves it outside Carrie's apartment. Carrie happily welcomes the puppy into her home. Tyler wants to leave New York but Dianna tells him that Brock does love him. It's just that he has taken Gil under his wings instead, as a substitute for the son he doesn't have anymore. At a board meeting, Brock announces his plans to make a friendly bid for the software company Starworks. Tyler apologizes to Brock and asks for a job in the company. Brock happily accepts the apology and lets Tyler start working at the bottom; delivering mail. Brock eats dinner with nerdy Starworks owner Marshall Dodd. Dianna crashes the party to Brock's anger but she actually spins Dodd around her finger; warming him up to Brock's bid. Jordan finds out Carrie stole the book and warns her to back off. A jealous Dianna tries to convince Linda that all Brock wants form her are her 3% of Rush Media. After a meeting with Allen, Dianna overhears him talk to Dodd on the phone. She rushes to tell Brock, who starts to prepare for a bidding war. Carrie returns home to find her puppy cooked in the microwave. Completely hysterical, she calls the cops but when Mark finds her puppy alive and well, it looks as if Carrie is the crazy one. Allen tries to blackmail Linda to come back to him by threatening to never let her see Peter again. Gil tries to befriend Tyler, who dislikes him and treats him poorly. He seems to fancy Rachel, though. Brock and Linda are surprised to see Allen and Dianna get into a limo together.
