Jade tries to stop it because it's not professional and could get the pair in serious trouble. After BrentCole gets himself stung with bees during a prank gone wrong and needs to see a doctor for anaphylactic shock, he finally admits to Jade that he's jealous that Max is young, handsome, and more successful with the dream job of running a gaming magazine than he is. Cole knows that his employees don't respect him, and the ''PVP'' magazine is a financial drain. Jade has to point out that it's not an excuse for being such an ass to Max, who has been perfectly nice to the whole crew. {{spoiler|Cole later says the same thing to Max a few years later, when he and Brent let the workplace drama spill into a fight about who should invite Max to their Thanksgiving dinner. Cole apologizes for his jealousy, saying it was really never about Max}}.
