Plot[]
Walter Harrison (Ian Hecox) is informed by Linda (Amanda Lehan-Canto) that he has to go as he's too old to lead the team. Walter immediately disagrees, but changes his decision as he "found" a young, hip, CEO replacement. He leaves the room, shaves his beard, and comes back with a hoverboard as Tevin (he'll be referred by this name for most of the time).
Linda and Gina (Jacklyn Uweh) disagree as he makes wrong meanings to common terms related to Gen Z. Tom (Damien Haas) believes otherwise. When Linda says that what he's doing is embarrassing, Tevin wants her to shut up, to the point he was able to say her name. Linda became even more skeptic since Tevin is "new" but knew her name, so Tevin says that it's a slang for Karen, saying the wrong meaning of it and 420. For the latter term, he gets a "Samurai Explosion" energy drink, but injects it, an has a heart attack as warned by the women.
When the women still are skeptic, Tevin gets a whiteboard with a Venn Diagram comparing him and Walter (himself). Gina has had enough so she tells Tevin that she has an affair with his wife. Tevin congratulates her but later cries, making Linda feel sorry for him.
Tevin admits that he is Walter. While Tom is shocked, Gina informs Walter that that's the reason why he was fired, causing Walter to be shocked as he embezzled millions. Two FBI agents (Olivia Sui and Courtney Miller) and enter and arrest Walter. Walter says that as Tevin, to which the FBI agents believe despite Linda warning them. He suggests to the FBI agents that he'll talk to Walter (himself), and does it when they agree. Walter says that he'll fall from the building, and when he "does," Tom is shocked. Tevin comes back and informes the agents about Walters "death," the agents end the case. Tom cries and prays due to being gullible, and when Linda tells him that that's why everyone hates him, Tom tells her to stop being a Linda.
