ep.5 Adventure
时长:00:42:46 / 首播:2014-06-29
Returning from a trip to Cincinnati, Cameron is surprised to find that Joe has hired a number of new programmers in her absence, including a new "Software Development Manager." (Essentially the job she was promised when hired.) Joe's father arrives in town unexpectedly, and attempts to arrange a meeting with him. Joe at first agrees to meet him, then has second thoughts and fails to show at the appointed time. Realizing that a CRT display will add too much weight to the new computer, Gordon comes up with the idea of using an LCD, as he knows his father-in-law has solid connections with the Japanese electronics firm that manufactures the cutting-edge display. He manages to talk his reluctant father-in-law into arranging a meeting with the Japanese, then blows the deal by getting drunk at the meeting and making rude and insulting comments about his father-in-law to the Japanese lead engineer. Cameron and Joe argue over Joe's decision to hire Steve, the new software manager. When Joe tells her she'll just have to "Learn to work with people," she becomes infuriated, and tells him she'll be picking up her things at his apartment later and moving on. When she arrives at Joe's apartment, she finds his father there, waiting for him. During their subsequent conversation, Cameron realizes how much like his father Joe really is. Gordon shows up at his father-in-law's home still drunk, to tell him what he's done. He apologizes and begs him to speak with the Japanese in an effort to undo the damage he's done. Joe goes to see the Japanese businessmen the next morning for the same reason, unaware that Gordon's father-in-law has already intervened. They appear satisfied, and agree to do business with Cardiff Electric. Later, Joe stops by Gordon's office and finds him working with his engineers on the prototype. He then attempts to humiliate Gordon by relating the events of the previous evening. Gordon cuts him off, telling him that he's accomplished nothing; the situation had already been resolved by Gordon's father-in-law, Gary, before Joe ever took action. This infuriates Joe, and he shows up later at the Cardiff company picnic, taking out his anger and frustration on a Japanese import car with a 5 lb. sledgehammer at $5.00 a blow, as Cameron watches with fascination from the sidelines.
