Synopsis[]

Joe reluctantly accepts a new job offer from Sara's father. Cameron hires John Bosworth into Mutiny, much to Donna's surprise. Gordon finds himself with an abundance of free time, unsure of how to spend any of it.

Episode Overview[]

Joe and Sara meet with Jacob Wheeler, Sara's father and CEO of Westgroup Energy. Noting Joe's troubled work history, Jacob offers him a job with Westgroup. Joe initially declines, but he later accepts the offer; after arriving at Westgroup's headquarters, Joe discovers that he was given a low-level data entry job. Donna shows Cameron her new dedicated chat feature, Community; however, Cameron is not impressed. Cameron hires the recently-paroled Bosworth to manage Mutiny. At home, Gordon loads Mutiny's Tank Battle and obsesses over a glitch in the game, eventually telling the coders how to correct it. Donna and Cameron attempt to seek capital to expand Mutiny, but they are turned away by a sexist venture capitalist. The coders discover that a user had cloned Mutiny's flagship game Parallax and is distributing copies for free. Donna and Cameron confront the hacker, Tom Rendon, and Cameron hires him after he demonstrated how he got multiple users to log in to Mutiny on a single phone line, much to Donna's chagrin. After the coders find a rather personal letter between him and Cameron, Bosworth tells her that Mutiny isn't the right place for him at the moment and needs time alone.
