Further complicating matters, Mark doesn't hit it off with Katie's best friend and roommate, Hope, a strong willed television executive who Mark learns, unbeknownst to her fellow roommates, has lost her job and now secretly works at a coffee shop. The fourth and final apartment mate is James, who works in the investment world and takes great pleasure in watching Mark's feeble attempts to win Katie's favor.
