The story so far
Everything you need before watchingEduardo flies to California after Mark emails him about the millionth-member party and a business meeting. He dresses for both. The office is not a celebration: new shares have been issued, everyone else's stake is untouched, and his is gutted. Mark stays wired in. Sean calls security. In the deposition, a lawyer walks through the dilution one name at a time. Then Eduardo realizes the papers he signed were the trap, and he tells Mark to lawyer up.
