Okay, the person playing the Chinean investor (Massimo?)  looks very familiar but I can't find any listing of the cast that includes him.  Does anybody know who he is?  Gracias!

It’s Arturo Castro from Broad City.

It’s early days, but I’m calling “Kittens! Puppies!! United Nations!!!” as my favorite quote of the season.

He also starred in the comedy sketch show Alternatino that aired earlier this year. I didn't watch it, but I saw a million commercials for it. He plays a ton of different characters in it.

I loved seeing Jared freak out on Richard. He's a great character normally, but it's awesome when you catch a glimpse of the man behind the curtain, and this week he ripped that curtain down and shot it with a BB gun.

Mine will have to be "I completely forgot my godson's 40th birthday" with "Aunt Abortion" as a close second. And I loved angry Jared!

This was much better than the season opener, almost S1-level good!

Gracias again !  I will look him up.

Jaime! He also had a recurring role on S3 of Narcos.

After seeing kind gentle nurturing Jared all these years, it was hilarious to see him finally lose it and go after Richard. And to be fair, Richard really overreacted to Jared's resignation.

Well Monica has a price.  Very high, because she figured Massimo would offer "only" $50 million.

But still a price.

Richard is trying to reject it.  Of course he will, it's a running joke that they will keep offering him every increasing sums of money and he will find a way to reject the offers.

Gavin was excited about Foxhole, an Ashley Madison for military people?

But it saved his flunkeys from being shipped out to Tablisi.

I'm surprised this show is able to feature actual brand names and their logos, usually in a negative light, so often.

Just in this episode there Domino's Pizza and a couple of other real brands in the game and of course El Pollo Loco over the Hooli logo on the building.

And, when Dinesh left the microphone, Pornhub and other erotic web sites.

I like that Jared went full Bad Girls Club on Richard; Richard was being a prick. I’m not sure if Jared knew it was a BB gun when he first shot at Richard, but in my head, he did not.

I also liked seeing Monica come unraveled at Maximo’s billion-dollar offer. A cigarette in each hand, that’s intense. 

Tracy in HR is my new hero.

Oh my God but that was hilarious!  "You're miked!"  

As this is the last season, is there a thread for speculating how the series is going to end?  I looked for one.

YES! Finally someone who knows how to deal with Gilfoyle. I loved how Dinesh kept sneaking in to hear all Tracy's verbal smackdowns. I really hope her next victim is Gabe.

[tennisgurl]

Tracy in HR is my new favorite character, she played Gilfoyle like a violin, actually getting him to get his work done AND get it done well, all because she knows exactly how to deal with "that guy". "...I respect the way you do your work." 

That was a really good episode, much better than last season, with Monica and her two cigarettes, Jaime from Broad City, and of course, Jared freaking out all over Richard. Richard really had that coming, and while I love how sweet and kind Jared is, its great to see what simmering beneath sometimes. 

[Should Be Working]

Good episode.

Tracy’s patronizing and oh so self-satisfied tone was appropriate for getting Gilfoyle to step up. But it will quickly become annoying if it defines her character for the rest of the season.

I'm going with, "I was State-raised! You think I'm scared to catch a case over some bullshit?"
