Plot summary

Richard is incensed that after years of standing up to Gavin Belson on ethical issues, he has been one-upped when Gavin creates the "Tethics" pledge. Richard vows to expose Gavin's hypocrisy while his co-workers and advisers urge him to sign the pledge. Meanwhile, Gilfoyle and Monica are accused of being bad managers. They engage in a contest to see who can win the favor of their co-workers. However, they both dislike being nice to their co-workers and team up to end the feedback program entirely. Jared has returned to Richard's side and is now attempting to gaslight his former protege Holden. The brash and ultra-confident billionaire investor Russ Hanneman returns to Richard to convince him to install free internet infrastructure for his RussFest event.
