Alex, Inc.

Alex Schuman is a brilliant radio journalist, husband and father of two who is about to do something crazy—quit his job and start his own company. He quickly discovers it’s going to be a lot harder than he thought.

At the office, Eddie and Deirdre compete for Alex's time and butt heads, causing them to almost quit. Alex tries to be a good boss by coming up with a solution to split his time between the two, but will he succeed? Meanwhile, Alex does not like Rooni's handmade costume for Ben's class project on famous people, so they come up with a surprising different choice.

Alex gets mad at Eddie for making work decisions without him; Rooni gets distracted by work while chaperoning Soraya's field trip; Ben takes up guitar playing and is determined to get his dad to let him score music for the podcast.

Alex thinks he fired the part-time baby sitter, but the situation gets more complicated when she shows up for work; Ben watches Soraya after school; Rooni loses cell service and gets nervous about the kids being left home alone.

When Rooni's mother comes to visit, Alex tries too hard to impress her; Ben wants to learn more about his heritage from his grandmother to impress a girl at school.

Alex's podcast starts intruding on his family life when a private Rooni moment is revealed to the audience, while Deirdre feels neglected and gets an offer to host her own show. Will she leave for a new opportunity? Later, Ben discovers his friend Emily has a crush on him.

Alex decides to use Rooni's idea for a new podcast about a murder case she worked on, but husband and wife do not work well together. Meanwhile, Deirdre goes on a date, and Ben thinks of a way to get rid of his girlfriend's super annoying friend Laura.

The family helps change Alex's feelings when he becomes overly sensitive to listeners' comments leading up to the launch of the podcast. Meanwhile, Rooni enlists Ben's help with Soraya's diorama to get her an A on the project but the plan backfires.

Using a voice translator to understand what Joya said about him in Bengali, Alex instead accidentally discovers a family secret. Deirdre accidentally erases all of the focus group results and tries to recreate it before Alex gets back to the office, and Soraya doesn't want to participate in her recital so she pretends to be sick.

After a company offers Alex money to expand the business, he worries his business is ruining his relationship with Rooni and the children and makes an important decision about the future. And with the future looking bright for the company, Deirdre and Eddie bring on a famous podcast producer.
