I've spiraled before, but never "drag the workplace underlings out" spiraled.

I can't believe his rich friend asked him to go halfies on dinner. No class. 

The expression on the dorm security guard's face made me laugh out loud. For real.

At basically every moment after the work day was done, Marcus should have just gone home. Just a staggering pile of bad decisions here.

At least Harper wore the hell out of that suit.

edit: by the way, this is Harper's second TV series (as a lead) and it's also the second time he's made chili... and chili with a weird ingredient, at that! In The Good Place, he made chili with marshmallow Peeps while on a meltdown, and then here with peanut butter.

I was hoping they'd show him on the way out...😂

Also... I was multi tasking while watching this... Did she ever introduce herself as Paloma during the episode?  I was waiting for Marcus to refer to her by name but he never did

I was dying of the cringe during the entire scene in Paloma's dorm room! I was *willing* him to leave and end the torture. Kudos to the actress playing Paloma though; she went all out!

I was a little annoyed with Mia for pretending there was nothing between them.

I love his married best friend. And I'm glad the show is back for a second season.
