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.'

In the wake of her embarrassing 'celebrity shoplifter' incident, Erik re-assigns Illeana to the IKEA warehouse. Desperate to get back on track to win 'Co-Worker of the Year,' Illeana hires 'Ask a Ninja's' Kent Nichols and Doug Sarine to produce a campaign video that slings more than a little mud at her competitor Justine Bateman.

In search of ratings (and votes for Co-Worker of the Year), Justine ambushes Illeana with a live 'celebrity shoplifting intervention' on 'Forty and Bitter' and admits she too has taken everything from Jennifer Tilly's suit to pieces of the 'Family Ties' set.

Illeana fears she will never win 'Co-worker of the Year' after Spazzy Sheraton gets a copy of the very private tape she made with Tom Arnold and broadcasts it to the world. Pep talks from Gigi (Cheri Oteri) and Lance (Michael Irpino) inspire her to keep on going.

Illeana thinks she can win IKEA's Co-worker of the Year by reuniting Erik's favorite band: SPARHUSEN!

Spazzy Sheraton learns of IKEAs Co-Worker of the Year competition and will do anything to make his friend Justine the ultimate winner, especially if it calls for slinging more mud at Illeana. Ed Begley, Jr., Ricki lake and Kevin Pollak guest star.

While awaiting Manager Erik's decision on which one of them will win the title of IKEA's 'Co-worker of the Year,' Illeana and Justine take some time to reflect on their season-long battle and get in a few final punches.

The winner of IKEA's coveted 'Co-Worker of the Year' is revealed, but that's only the beginning. Illeana, Justine and their fellow IKEAns are on a plane bound for Sweden, where new co-workers, new relationships and 'bitter' rivalries combine to re-define 'in-flight entertainment.'

Illeana realizes who her real friends are, while Store Manager Erik (Eric Lange) makes a possible love connection with Sam (Mia Riverton)

The special Flying Solo miniseries concludes with what else? A groovy disco dance number. Shake your groove plane and boogie down to Sparhusen's new single: 'Mile High Club'
