[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What episode is this scene you all are taking about with JA, Chip and her assistant?[/quote]

In the last episode, when Alex asks Chip and her assistant to go to her home studio and retrieve her device for the hack, and then she comes home and finds them en flagrante. And then they tell her it's been going on for a while but they didn't know how to tell her.

I actually thought the scene was funny because its as very much about how Alex has Main Character Syndrome and once she's over her initial shock, she's like "let's all go out together to celebrate! this is so great! how can I be involved!" and there's some great subtle face acting from Duplass and the actress playing the assistant where Chip is almost ready to agree because he has a grossly codependent relationship with Alex, but the assistant is like "haha, no."

I love Mark Duplass in that role so that sells a lot of the show for me. He is so, so good at playing this guy who is likable and loyal but also entirely careerist with almost no actual morals. To me the show is very much about how these people can say all they want about "journalism" or even entertainment but at the end of the day, they are entirely in it for themselves and their own egos. It rings extremely true to me.[/quote]

What happened to Chip’s fiancé?[/quote]

It’s not directly addressed. But I think she left after he slipped out during JA’s Covid and pretended he had Covid to help JA get well and film from home 
Remember she called during the time he was setting up the camera in JA apartment and he declined the call and cursed- he must have lied to the fiancé about where he was going or else just left. [/quote]

Chip might actually be the most ruthlessly careerist person on the show, which is kind of funny because he has so little power -- he's entirely beholden to the whims of both on-air talent and the big egos in the c-suite. I find is character very amusing if not really at all likable.[/quote]

The actor does a good job because I absolutely hate him. I want to punch him in the face and his stupid parka.  He always has that sour resting b@tch face.[/quote]

He plays such a douche that you want to punch on Togetherness that I will never be able to think of him in any other way. He is typecast as a prick.[/quote]
