Serena apologizes to Carol for various things such as arriving unexpectedly at the office, and wants to introduce a Sorry Day into the office where people could apologize for all sorts of things. Serena describes various ways of saying sorry including the empathy sorry which is 'I'm sorry you feel that way, and what can I do to help the situation.' Sam and Michael have relationship issues that have escalated into the workplace. Sam apologizes to Michael for having thrown his picture out when he was angry with some of Michael's behavior.

Carol tells Serena about what she believes to be a very useful tool, the 'fake sorry' which is totally insincere.
