In "Push-Down Coffee and a Working Turn Signal", it is revealed that Baxter works for a car company. Christy goes to him to buy a car. Baxter asks Christy sarcastically if she knows that cars cost money. Christy responds by saying that she has the money needed. Baxter invites her into his office and Christy describes what kind of car she wants. Baxter then asks her where she got the money, but before she is able to answer, he asks her if she is gambling again, she tells him she's not and he moves on to ask her if her boyfriend gave her the money. Christy replies with "Hey, that's offensive. I got the money from my Mom's boyfriend. My new guy offered, and I said no." Baxter says that she should have accepted the offer and that she should use it before she loses it. Christy replies with "So you're saying I should drain everything I can out of my boyfriend before I become an old hag?", to which Baxter affirms with "Tick-tock".

Patrick, Christy's boyfriend, and Bonnie aren't comfortable with the way she got the car (Bonnie didn't know about the loan from Adam) so Christy takes the car back. Later on in the episode, Baxter buys the car for her stating that "Look, we always focus on the bad stuff you did to me, but I did a lot of bad things to you. I would disappear for days on end, I smoked your weed, I slept with your friends." Christy questions him "Friends? I thought it was one?" Baxter shoots back with "One friend six times, six friends one time." and continues, "The point is over the years, I've watched you make up for all the bad stuff you did wrong, and I found it really inspiring. So, this is me making an amendment to you.

Gabriel tells her "Not a problem, grab a couple steaks head home and feed 'em!". Christy then tells him he doesn't understand. Stating "The guy at table four said something really horrible to me, when I was telling him about the Salmon." Chef Rudy over hears this and asks what's wrong with the Salmon. Christy tells him that the insult wasn't to the Salmon it was to her and he told her that she was a good waitress. To which Gabriel and Chef Rudy disagree with and so does Christy - her taking this as an insult, because she knows she's not a good waitress. Christy and Gabriel then talk about her dreams of what she wanted to do when she was in high school. While she carries on working.
