Set up the problem quickly, and look for a twist in the end.

Each team will then meet/talk about their total of six stories.
Together you will fully work out the three stories you feel are the strongest.

Amanda hooks Walter up with one of her friends.

Amanda's roommate, Sherry, breaks up with her boyfriend, and returns to the crash pad.

When an old friend comes to town, Walter tries to pass himself off as successful.
