A year after the success of the Giant, Gordon leaves Cardiff Electric, which has been bought out by an overseas company. Cameron and Donna struggle to hold Mutiny together, and Joe has reconnected with an old friend.

Episode Overview

More than a year has passed since the launch of the Giant. Joe had reconnected with his old college classmate Sara Wheeler and he is now living with her in Austin. Cardiff Electric is liquidated after Nathan sells the company off to an overseas corporation. Gordon, as the outgoing company president, receives a dividend payment of over $800,000. Joe, however, receives nothing after Nathan shreds Joe's check as retribution for his actions over the past two years; despite returning empty-handed, Joe proposes to Sara, and she accepts. At Mutiny, Donna expresses her frustration over Cameron's lack of leadership and long-term planning, especially as their makeshift network infrastructure experiences latency issues and power outages. Donna notices two users are chatting long after their game ended, inspiring her to develop standalone chat rooms. Donna misses a celebratory dinner with Gordon and the kids when she helps Cameron deal with a fence selling stolen computer components. Before dealing with the fence, Donna and Cameron eventually agree that they would share responsibility for the leadership role at Mutiny. The next day, Cameron picks up Bosworth after he is released from prison.
