Clipped

In the series premiere, barber and aspiring professional baseball player A.J. Salerno gets a phone call from a sports agent, and thinks his barber days will soon be behind him.

Danni advises A.J. to give up on his dream of being a ball player, while A.J. inspires Danni to pursue her passion as a singer. Meanwhile, Joy’s involvement in an AIDS Walk brings up the issue of charity — and just how cheap Ben can be.

Ben is embarrassed after a one-night stand with Rita Doyle (recurring guest star BETSY SODARO – Another Period, Animal Practice), considering her to be a “go-below,” but gets offended to find out that Rita is the one who thinks he is below her stature. Meanwhile, Danni is suspicious that a Spanish class A.J. and Charmaine (recurring guest star DIONA REASONOVER) are taking together might be something more.

The girls are upset that Ben won’t pay for the barbershop to have Wi-Fi, so they go to great lengths to get the Wi-Fi password for the tattoo parlor next door. Meanwhile, Mo spills the beans to the gang that Ben has been the victim of some uncomfortable incidents in the shower at the gym by somebody he considers a friend, and A.J. decides to do something about it.

Joy helps plan Buzzy and Tommy’s (recurring guest star REGINALD VELJOHNSON – Hart of Dixie, Family Matters) last-minute wedding, but after talking to Charmaine (recurring guest star DIONA REASONOVER), Buzzy gets cold feet. Meanwhile, Ben and Mo argue over a business decision.

After a video of Charmaine insulting customers goes viral, Ben fires her. But when the video starts drumming up business, Ben has to get her back. Mo feels guilty after A.J. breaks his pitching arm.

As Mo tries to come to terms with his parents’ divorce, the gang has additional insight as to why they might be splitting. A.J. accuses Danni of being jealous when she finds out he has a date.

When the guys learn that Buzzy is gambling with the money he’d set aside for his mother’s medication, A.J. and Mo decide to lose a poker game to him on purpose, but it isn’t as easy to convince Ben to do the right thing. Danni, Charmaine and Joy make up the Doyle Sisters for a wedding and discuss what makes for a strong marriage, causing Joy to question her relationship with Bart.

The gang remembers an embarrassing story about Ben after a high school teacher comes by the barbershop for a haircut. Joy waits for a sign about her marriage.

The gang relives their adolescence at their high school reunion. Meanwhile, Joy is stuck at the barbershop keeping Lonnie (recurring guest star C.J. VANA – Whiplash) company while he waits for his date.
