Silicon Valley 10th Anniversary Rewatch: S1E2 The Cap Table
Welcome back to our 10th Annivesary Rewatch of Silicon Valley. After a fast moving premiere, it’s on to our second show. Let’s not waste anymore time.
What Happens: The episode kicks off with Jared Dunn, Belson’s assistant getting thrown out of the house after requesting to join the group, before the guys throwing a lame party with a stripper named Mocachinok. The next day, Richard and Erlich head off to their first meeting with Peter Gregroy. Gregory slams Richard for not being prepared with the business basics which leads him back to Jared for help. Jared then interviews the team to strengthen their financials while discovering Big Head may be expendable. Big Head then flees to Mochachino’s house before being found by Richard and leading us to believe he’s leaving. Instead we learn that Gavin Belson has stolen Big Head in return for Jared going to Pied Piper. To close the show, Big Head tips off that Hooli has stolen Richard’s code and plans to beat them to market with their imposter.
Trivia and Tie-Ins:
The gang comparing Big Head to the Mass Effect 3 ending is a huge diss even ten years later.
