Dinner Party
Nora and Matteo are out chopping wood together and Pastor Rob sees them kissing. He tells them to stop but they don’t listen. They kiss in public and Pastor Rob gets mad.
Nathan continues to search for Nora, but to no avail. Nathan is encouraged by Luke to accept that Nora is gone, that the murderer is still on the loose and Ingrid is still hanging around. In fact, the latter has decided to throw a dinner party.
Nathan decides to embrace this new opportunity and try to make a real go of his relationship with Ingrid. However, it also means the Angels are going to be busy for catering duties. ..
The dinner does not go to plan though, as the various characters gather together and a whole dish of awkwardness is served up alongside the food. It’s actually hilarious, as Ingrid works with the Angels to try and improve things. However, it’s consistently made worse. So much so that Ingrid decides to fire them all and just stick to good old fashioned conversation instead.
The idea of Freeyond, a new social network that would bring everyone into Lakeview, is gaining traction among the community. Mr. Choak has the right idea in thinking that it should be open to everyone, not just those with privilege. ..
Tinsley, a temp at the restaurant, starts serving food midway through her shift. Nathan, the owner of the restaurant, is taken aback and tries to talk to her, eventually admitting that she’s just a temp. Out on the balcony after dinner, Tinsley and Nathan end up speaking. Nathan is not happy about her using Nora’s avatar. ..
Matteo has a plan to sneak into Lakeview from the Grey Zone using an avatar made by Boris Netherlands.
Matteo wants to mess with Lakeview, claiming it’s liberating to work together and do this, toppling the unequal utopia. Nora agrees to help, as Matteo admits he’s not anti-tech but anti anything that doesn’t actually benefit the many.
Nora is encouraged by the community to go undercover at Horizen on their behalf. Nora isn’t so sure but Matteo reassures the young woman, claiming this is “for the good of the community.” She’s also teamed up with a rather eccentric guy called Cheetoh… who happens to be Ivan.
The Episode Review
Nora and Nathan’s fates seem destined to collide, but in very interesting ways. Nora going undercover and Tinsley potentially growing closer to Nathan through using Nora’s avatar raises a pretty interesting conflict to come for the rest of this season.
Season 2 of “The Office” has not quite gotten going just yet, but the comedy is still pretty good. The show is set at a dinner table discussion, and the conversations are always funny.
The rest of the season is still TBD, but it’s likely that we’ll see some major changes.
