He asks Victoria for the money, but she doesn't do much about it, so he ends up going to the Sunbright Media Group president, who does give him the money. Victoria becomes upset, so she makes everyone work in the basement instead of the office, because Jake made the president of Sunbright think she wasn't doing her job.
