If her ruse were to be exposed, so what?

Itll be embarrassing, sure.

Clearly, were racing toward some kind of reckoning.

Edwin has to calm his wife down over the phone, lest she have another anxiety attack.

Which brings me back to my opening point: Is any of this really worth the stress?

There is a slyer element to Matty and Edwins plot, though.

The trip to Savannah triggers a second complaint, which puts Shae in danger of dismissal.

So she promises to back off.

As for Sarah, her comeuppance involves less deception and more karma.

(Sarah responds by asking Olympia to be her mentor, over-eagerly adding, Shall we link calendars?)

Vogels company RainWeaver is attempting to fix water scarcity through cloud-seeding.

He believes he can reduce his biological age through clean living.

He walks around barefoot.

He sits on his haunches even when hes in a chair.

The RainWeaver case has some good twists.

Olympias team first uses Planet Nows environmental activism to force Stratusfy to release their silver iodide data.

The thematic connection between this case and the Jacobson-Moore office drama is twofold.

Matty isnt in the room when Vogel makes that point.

This isnt an entirely happy ending not even with Vogel promising to send Olympia more business.

Could there be another parallel then between the case of the week and Mattys mission?

(Matty obliges in her own way by telling a story about Cindys sister-in-law, Gail.)

She then starts tossing around phrases like fie upon her and fear hath gripped her heart.

Shaes exhaustion with this shtick is very funny.

Something else to track.

Olympia wants to look at the books.

She says, Secrets need to come to the light.

I say Olympia should be careful what she wishes for.
