Silicon Valley

The Pied Piper guys are wined and dined by every venture capitalist under the sun, while Monica adjusts to a new managing partner at Raviga as the company faces major changes.

Richard and the guys struggle to find a backer as they face legal and financial woes. Monica attempts to balance her interest in Pied Piper with her job. A cash-strapped Dinesh tries to put an end to the Kickstarter campaign for his cousin's new app, Bro.

While considering Gavin's proposal, Richard is approached by Russ Hanneman, an image-conscious billionaire who wants to back Pied Piper. Gilfoyle and Dinesh play hardball to get what they want. Gavin finds a new strategy in dealing with the enemy.

Richard and Erlich disagree over a potential employee. Dinesh and Gilfoyle worry that someone they recommended for the company will be receiving more money than they make.

Gavin's interference causes Pied Piper to struggle with securing their expansion, whilst a nosy neighbour puts the guys at risk. Meanwhile, Big Head's management skills are questioned, and Nucleus' debut zeroes in on a big event.

When Monica encourages the guys to pounce on an opportunity, Erlich reconnects with his old billionaire mentor, Double-A... but Richard finds out their friendship isn't quite what Erlich thinks it is. Meanwhile, Jared encourages a friendship between Carla and Monica.

With the Pied Piper team fielding job offers and Russ distracted by financial news, Richard faces the prospect of either merging with a nemesis or folding. Elsewhere, Dinesh tries his hand at wooing a woman online.

When Richard takes pity on a competitor, he accidentally sparks a feud that finds him getting paranoid about security. Meanwhile, facing pressure from board members, Gavin looks to place responsibility elsewhere, and Jared exaggerates Pied Piper's size to get results.

Erlich wants to testify when Pied Piper and Hooli enter binding arbitration, but Richard worries that his rival's claims could have merit. Meanwhile, Jared, Dinesh and Gilfoyle debate a philosophical theory, and Big Head gets a boost.

As the guys await the verdict on Pied Piper's fate, an unexpected real-life drama draws a spike in traffic to their livestream and leaves them fighting to hold things together - literally. While Erlich considers his future, Richard scrambles to save Pied Piper's.
