Season 2 Premiere. Following their success at TechCrunch Disrupt, the guys of Pied Piper find themselves aggressively courted by every VC in Silicon Valley. With Peter Gregory's company facing major changes, Monica tries to do what's best while dealing with her new boss Laurie, a competitive big-wig who will do anything to hold onto Pied Piper.

Season Three Premiere. After being unceremoniously fired, an angry Richard faces a tough decision: whether to accept the diminished role of CTO, or leave Pied Piper behind for good. Erlich takes a shine to Laurie's new choice of CEO, Jack Barker, while Dinesh and Gilfoyle weigh their options in Richard's absence. At Hooli, Gavin tries to improve his image by admitting failure, and Big Head gets wind of some major changes.

When Pied Piper and Hooli enter binding arbitration, Erlich demands to be put on the stand, while Big Head finds himself propped up and Richard faces a moral dilemma as he realizes Hooli's claim may have legs. Meanwhile, back at the Hacker Hostel, Jared, Dinesh and Gilfoyle question a philosophical theory and its relation to their livestream.

Facing the bleak future of Pied Piper's new business agenda, Richard tries to appeal to Laurie for help. Gilfoyle opens himself up to recruiters' pursuits. Dinesh's latest flashy purchase brings him unwanted attention. After stumbling upon information about the competition, the guys decide to work up a master plan to covertly force Jack's hand.

While Pied Piper's new and improved offices and perks impress Dinesh and Gilfoyle, Richard worries that his vision has been compromised, especially after hearing from Jack's newly-hired sales team. Jared faces issues evicting renters from his condo, while a frustrated Erlich struggles to get rid of Jian-Yang. Gavin suggests a controversial move at Hooli.
