Jared is the only person comfortably in touch with his emotions and the feelings of others.
Woodss last scene in this episode is a wonderful outburst of emotion that almost made me cry.
The love triangle involves two CEOs and the chief operating officer who secretly bounces between them.
Richard and Dana from Quiver are the CEOs.
Danas COO, Ben, is Richards object of affection.
Ben is also a huge monkey wrench in Jareds plans to platonically hook Richard up with Dana.
Despite Richards protestations, Jared thinks he needs friends and that Dana would be a perfect playdate partner.
Once in Jeffs apartment, Dinesh reveals himself to be desperate for a friend.
At first, Jeff hates Dineshs attempts at bonding.
A giddy, drunk Dinesh thinks hes found a BFF.
Hes just like you!
Jared says, much to Richards disagreement.
Dana invites Jared and Richard to his party, where Richard first meets Ben.
Ben expresses intense interest in PP:TNG, which leads Richard astray.
Jared pulls Richard back into Danas orbit by pointing out Richards job-related, glass-wall-breaking injuries.

Before retiring to his own bed, Richard gets a text from Ben asking to meet for lunch.
Im going to destroy their lives.
He deleted every line of extra code from their servers.

What are we doing?
Whoa, were just talking!
Everything goes swimmingly until Dana shows up.
says Ben before running off.
Dana ends up having lunch with Richard.
Howd lunch with Dana go, you little minx?!
In that meeting, Ben offered to help throw Gilfoyle under the bus to save Pied Piper.
Gilfoyle would be prosecuted and deported.
Seems Ben has lied his ass off, telling Dana that Richard relentlessly pursued him until he gave in.
An angry Dana yells at Richard before riding off on his motorcycle.
Turns out Dana really is cool!
He was on cold medication, which made him sluggish.
Richard realizes he ran off with the wrong man.
(See,I TOLD yallAlexa was recording everything you say!)
Richard is so impressed, he makes Jared his COO.
Dinesh cant wait to share this information with his new BFF, Jeff The Mole Washburn.
