Everyone finds out that Cameron and Tom got married. Different people react differently. Donna and Cameron make an attempt to reconcile but Donna still wants to push forward with an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Cameron seems to have softened on the idea of taking the public but before the company does so she wants to make some improvements. She anticipates that it will take about 2 years to make the improvements. Donna wants the IPO to happen in about 3 months.
Joe is still out at his company. His confession that he stole the company from Gordon turns things around. Gordon gets control of the company. He visits Joe and sees his board. There are no labels to explain what it is but it doesn't take Gordon long to figure it out. At first he lords it over Joe that he will be taking over the company. He changes his tune in the end and offers Joe 49% of the acquired company.
Things come to a head at Mutiny. Donna wants to go ahead with the IPO despite Cameron's opposition to doing withing 3 months. She tries to gather votes from the other shareholders in Mutiny, behind Cameron's back, but Gordon feels some shred of loyalty to Cameron and tells her. The board (Cameron, Donna, Gordon, Boz, Dianne) meets to air things out but things get contentious between Donna and Cameron. Boz tries to get them to take some time but Cameron insists on taking a vote immediately. Everyone votes for going public, except Cameron.
The episode ends with Ray revealing to Joe that he has taken the code for the security software and put it out there for free. I guess this would have been on a BBS or some such service. He also aired plenty of secrets that the company was harboring. Ray didn't know that Joe was talking to Gordon or that he cut a deal with Gordon. It's a little unclear on where Ray's story goes from here. I'm pretty sure that he just on the show for this season.
Not bad. This episode kept my attention. Not every moment was praise-worthy but there were enough good character moments to keep me excited. I'm still uncertain I will watch beyond the end of this season despite my general happiness with this one episode.
