Easy to Assemble

Illeana's first day working at at the Burbank IKEA.

To cope with being out of the Hollywood spotlight, guest star Kevin Pollack decides to start the Actors Anonymous support group.

Following an emotionally exhausting Adam Sandler premiere, gossip blogger Spazzy Sheraton discovers the Burbank IKEA is the place to be to see celebrities.

Illeana and Tom Arnold realize a fake relationship works better for them than the real thing. Erik urges Illeana and Justine to come up with inventive ideas to compete for IKEAs coveted co-worker of the year award.

SNLs Tim Meadows stops by to interview for a job at IKEA, while Illeana creates a team building event for her fellow IKEAns in an effort to outshine Justines Forty and Bitter talk show and win Co-Worker of the Year. She and her co-workers quickly discover team building feels a lot like speed dating and thats just awkward. Watch for the first appearance of Sparhusen!

Illeana gets pinched for shoplifting by Lance and her slimy ex-agent, Ben (Greg Proops) when she forgets to pay for snacks during Justine's live 'Forty and Bitter' talk show interview with gossip columnist Spazzy Sheraton.'

The IKEA coworkers have arrived on their mystical adventure in Sweden, and while some are tucked away in their hotel rooms getting ready for their journey's others like Illeana and Paul are becoming more than coworkers. Manager Erik has some love trouble of his own when brother Sung catches sister Sam getting a handball lesson from him in the middle of the night! Meanwhile Lance preps Illeana for their big bike ride to Uppsala.

Lance and Illeana have left on their journey to Uppsala and Paul disappoints Pete when he tells him he's going to skip Illeana's, "Coworker of the Year" ceremony in Upsalla because Justine needs their band The Traveling Lingonberry's to rehearse in Stockholm. Meanwhile coworkers John and Karin sneak into Bjorn Epstein's room to try to track down the elusive band Sparhusen who may be in Gothenburg.

Justine sends her assistant home to America because she left her dream catcher on her bureau and retains a Swedish assistant named Abby to help prepare Justine for her "40 and Bitter" talk show in Stockholm. While Justine gets ready for her big day Abby lets in a strangely seductive room service waiter named "J". Justine is shocked to find out he is no ordinary Swedish waiter, and Abby may have accidentally changed the course of Justine's journey in Sweden.

Returning from Sweden, and determined to get past the her breakup with Paul, Illeana prepares for her first day back at work. She is bursting with optimism and can't wait to begin her newest project: replacing Justine Bateman as host of IKEA's in-house talk show.

Illeana's first day back to work is turned upside down when she finds out she's going to have to work with a "professional" producer to help run her new talk show, now called, "This Side Up."

Illeana's new talk show seems doomed after meeting her new producer, Howard Friske (Roger Bart). The two have nothing in common except an instant dislike for each other. Howard tries to convince Illeana that working together could be a great opportunity. He pleads for a chance to prove his worth. Illeana is shocked to learn of Manager Grover's scathing secret report entitled, "The Effects of Illeana Douglas on IKEA." Grover cannot understand how in-store romances, talk-shows, and Tom Arnold videos will help sell IKEA furniture. He remains determined to shut down Illeana's dreams.
