Dangerous Liaisons

Zoë sees her co-worker Clayton, who is also pulling a suitcase, and approaches him. She mentions that they are going to Boston to convince a "couple of kids" to sell their "Facebook clone" for $300 million. The fact that people like those "kids" actually exist makes me want to sue my high school guidance counselor. For around $300 million. Zoë asks him if his wife and sons are doing well. They are. The boys are at boarding school. And his wife is "keeping the retail sector healthy." Those women, always shopping! Zoë says her kids are getting older too fast and Clayton responds, "Aren't we all?" Then, he asks where "she" is. Zoë has no idea who he's talking about. It's Katherine. She's coming with them and Zoë had no idea? Since when do junior analysts come along to a pitch, she asks. He says that he's sensing, in the air, that entrepreneurs want a "body" in an acquisition meeting who could also be a consumer of their product. I don't know if Clayton's seen some of the old farts on Facebook these days, but the audience is a little broader than just hot girls in their early twenties. Clayton tells Zoë that she shouldn't kick away the ladder once she's made it to the top, which is true, but Clayton seems a little bit like an asshole.

Caitlin is in her office looking at a clock, counting out loud. When she gets to 27, she says to an office peon who is trying to open a container, "27 seconds and you still can't open it? Dammit, who do they think is buying thigh-firming cream? Ninjas?" Funniest joke on this show so far. Lily Parish enters, reading the blurb from Regrets Only. She's played by the awesome Christine Ebersole. Caitlin is stunned that she reads the blog, and Lily tells her that she gets instant alerts any time her name is mentioned online. Damn. She wonders if the office lesbian might be Sarah in R and D, because she has very thick eyebrows. Ha! Caitlin does not seem to enjoy the humor of the moment. Lily says that the gossip bit made her wonder if they are properly targeting the gay lady audience. She thinks they should use Portia de Rossi for their next campaign.
