1.Zhuying visits the editor to complain about the first team meeting, in which Bai scolded everyone and kicked out Zhen'er. The editor re frames it: did he really bully you or are you angry at yourself (perhaps maybe that their work isn't so great?)

2.Charlie supports Bai's criticisms. He assess him disliking how comfortable they are with the way things are and resistant to change (I wish my job had a coffee bar that was so awesome.) Other than her flatmate, does she have any friends?

3.In a phone call with a friend Bai reveals that he struggles with understanding his relationship with Zhen'er--are they friends are is he someone she forgot about? He also discusses the trainee whom he can't help but notice because she has the same name as his childhood friend..

4.Zheng'er considers quitting her job luckily her flatmate yells some sense into her. She tells her to tell him the truth but she can't. Her friend is frustrated with her complaining but not doing anything about her situation. This is well done--Zheng'er immediately shuts down when her friend tells her some more assertive options. She keeps asking people what they think instead of coming up with ideas herself. And acts like a sad butterfly. (OMG this is exactly how people with low self esteem can act).

5.Bai sends another email (he thinks she is in Denmark. he is going to be mad to find out she lied to him). And her friend is struggling with her friends incessant worries because this was all her idea to begin with but she won't stop lying! so true so true---

6.Charlie is so optimistic and always trying to get her to be more positive....she submits a resignation letter....she is just running away from her problems. ....she gets stuck in a revolving door...she finally confronts him and apologizes for her mistakes but explains to him she did not want to be transferred her and had no choice and he isn't acknowledging her hard work. She accuses him of bullying (which triggers a childhood memory of his love....)
