Jolene spends much of the weekend drinking, and she cancels her Monday carpool with Cliff. Arriving at the office, she appreciates Rhonda’s greeting more than usual. When Caitlin arrives, Jolene waits for her to indicate that Kyle told her about Jolene’s past, but she merely thanks Jolene for decorating.
When Cliff asks Jolene to complete the next anti-harassment lesson on her own digitally due to an “HR emergency,” she assumes that he no longer wants to see her in person. She proceeds to cancel their carpool indefinitely under the pretext of going to the gym.
Later, Jolene reads along as Caitlin messages Armin and Rhonda to discuss the recent changes in Jolene’s behavior. Armin, who suspects that Jolene can see their messages, baits Jolene by sending a message to an employee who is out of the office, in which he confesses to dipping the office mugs into the toilets. When Jolene gags on her drink, Armin realizes the truth. In a private message, he asks to meet with her in the archive room.
In the archive room, Armin explains how he figured out that Jolene was reading his emails and messages. He promises not to report her but asks her to attend dinner with his parents as his fiancée, and she reluctantly agrees to do so.
