WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON, REFINER! Back again? So glad to have you! This week everyone is dealing with the fallout from the ORTBO. No more innie-Irv, and no WAY Helena Eagan is going back down there. She has a few choice words for those innies. It's not Helena Mark S. wants anyway, he wants his Helly R. back! We haven't seen her since the end of Season One.
Helly R. returns to the severed floor...but not to open arms. She was outed by Irv as an Eagan, and Eagans are the enemy! Mark and Dylan have to deal with their trust issues.
Seth Milchick has to deal with his first Monthly Performance Review as the department chief. It does NOT go well. An entire section entitled "Calamitous ORTBO" should tell you everything you need to know.
Oh, yeah...and we discover Ricken is a sellout! He's completely re-writing "The You You Are" so it now tows the Eagan line. Devon is NOT happy!
Grab a slice of Irv's Fruit Head and hit play on this week's EpiCap. It's time for "Trojan's Horse."
