One Way or Another
Cameron and Donna shop around trying to find more venture capital funding. They are looking to make a move, add what would later be called e-commerce to Mutiny. They don't have any luck. The one bite they get turns out to be sexist BS. Nothing seems to be going their way until they meet with Diane. She is the mother of the girl that Joanie, Donna's daughter, beat up last episode. At first Diane's firm isn't interested, because they've already invested in another firm that is doing something similar and has a head start on Mutiny. After Donna and Cameron change their approach, and ask for money to buy the other company, they get the answer they are looking for.
Ryan continues to try and impress Joe. He is also courted by Gordon, who wants to work with him. Ultimately Joe offers Ryan a job, that he decides to take. Where this is all going I don't know. It feels like the tug of war for Ryan's loyalty and attention might not be over just yet. At one point I wondered if Joe was going to ask Ryan to stay at Mutiny and keep him informed on what's happening there. In a way that doesn't make sense because Ryan is a techie and wants to build something, a product, but it didn't seem outside the realm of possibilities until the end of the episode that he might betray Mutiny.
Gordon is still suing Joe for stealing his idea. He has to give a deposition. Joe isn't at the deposition but then he shows up unexpectedly. He offers Gordon a controlling interest in his company if he will drop the suit and come work with him. Gordon doesn't bite. He doesn't trust Joe. Considering his past history that seems like a wise choice.
Joe has changed his look. He seems to emanate a vibe that seems similar to that of Steve Jobs. I'm sure that is an intentional choice by the producers of the show. He's not a clone of Jobs but both in the way he dresses and acts he seems like the co-founder of Apple.
This episode was a lot more interesting and fun to watch than the last one. I'm not sure why. It might be because it felt like more happened this time around.
