Carter Min, an energy company executive, tells reporters that his brother Z is a green activist and he’s been sabotaging the company’s progress. He urges reporters to speak to him directly about this issue.
Z is opposed to this deal with Lassiter because of his dinosaur approach to renewable energy. The man has blocked renewable energy at every conceivable point and Z has seen through this proposal and knows he’s just there for the oil reserves. As a result, Z believes Bradburn is a better fit.
Ingrid is not happy with the Sun Corp deal and speaks her mind. She walks back to the car after telling her boss that she doesn’t think it will make a real difference if he actually works to change things from the inside.
It turns out that Murphy has forgotten to charge the car and it’s completely dead. Unfortunately, this comes right on the eve of a big dinner with her folks. Jeff decides to stay with the car while Ingrid phones Nick and has him pick her up.
Marty rings with good news. It turns out the pitch actually worked and Ingrid has saved the deal. As a result Ingrid decides to bring Nick along to the big family dinner, which she’s thankfully not too late for. Things go well for a while… until Lina completely changes the mood and brings up that she’s dropped out of school.
The night goes well… until Ingrid heads home. Lina has completely trashed her apartment, with the dishwasher having leaked all over the floor and the cooker a charred, burnt mess. With nowhere else to go and repairs of up to 4-6 weeks, Nick suggests she come and stay with him. ..
The Episode Review
Nick is such a great guy, but the fact that Ingrid might choose Jeff over him in the future makes him really annoying. They have great chemistry together, but Jeff’s “bad boy” charm could be too much for Ingrid. We’ll have to wait and see. ..
The Sun Corp Deal is still the main crux of drama with the law firm, while both Rachel and Tyler have their own cases to handle. This helps to tie everything together and there’s actually a pretty nice balance between the main ensemble.
