Merch Madness23m · After his good friend Courteney Cox instructs him on the proper ways to sell out, Charlie hires image architect Law Roach to reinvent his merch line—looking for new products to license his name to.

6. Some Direction24m · With his One Direction reunion in jeopardy, Charlie decides to become a teacher rather than disappoint the execs at Roku and face getting fired.
