The Cap Table

This is the second episode in the Silicon Valley series, and also the second in season 1.

Plot
After rejecting Belson's offer and siding with Peter Gregory, Richard is overwhelmed by the amount of work that needs to be done in establishing the business to Gregory's satisfaction. Luckily, Belson's former PA, Jared Dunn, arrives at the incubator, begging Richard to hire him, as he sees huge potential in the Pied Piper idea, and is hired due to his business expertise. However, in evaluating the Pied Piper team, Jared discovers that while Gilfoyle and Dinesh are brilliant coders, Big Head is comparatively mediocre, and Richard is pressured by everyone to fire him as he brings nothing to the table. Richard refuses to do so, but Big Head decides to take a huge raise and promotion at Hooli instead, where work begins on reverse-engineering Pied Piper to create the same product, branded under a different name.
