Tom and Ginger head to Angela's but when Tom sees Ben and Angela apparently dancing and kissing, he gives up and goes to the tech stars conference where he trashes Ben and gives away all of his company's stock. Angela finally confesses to Tom that she likes him and vice versa. Angela uses the mind-erasing device to try to make the executives forget, and it is a success, until Hank then accidentally activates the mind-erasing device again.
