Members of the PC team are getting prepared to go to COMDEX in Las Vegas to sell "The Giant", which they see as the beginning of the end toward reaching the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. What Gordon is unaware of is that Joe's plan is for Joe to go by himself. What Joe and Gordon are also unaware of is that John, with Cameron's help, has gone to extraordinary measures to ensure that they do make it to COMDEX in light of the company's cash flow problems. In light of John's actions, the plans to go to COMDEX are placed into jeopardy. Gordon sees this change as an opportunity, of which he is able to convince Cameron. Joe has different thoughts based on information he learns about work being conducted at IBM. Through it all, Donna reviews her marriage critically, especially in light of Hunt's actions following their return from the business trip to Lubbock. Finding something that Gordon has hidden in the garage may factor into Donna's decision about what to do.

The Twists. The Turns. Simply put: pure excitement. This was a roller-coaster of an episode. The Cameron and Bosworth track. The Donna and Hunt track, the Donna and Gordon track, the Gordon and Joe track, the Gordon and Cameron track... etc., etc.... all the tracks intersected and intertwined in a crescendo towards COMDEX. Just an amazing piece of writing, acting, directing, editing, and producing. This is the episode I've been waiting for and have always believed this show could be. If only the critics were paying attention. Let's not forget that this is a period piece, and every time the phone rings in Donna and Gordon's house, we are reminded of how solid this part of the production is. Every tiny detail of the 1980's is attended to. As a child of the 80's, whose first love was a TRS-80, it's hard not to love this show.

Cardiff is invaded by the authorities because John, with the help of Cameron, has stolen money to keep the company solvent so the new computer, Giant, can be finished. Joe has gone to see his father, who has offered to take him back into IBM. Meanwhile, it appears that Gordon's marriage could be over. But there is a kicker. It is the rush that comes with having nothing to lose. Gordon breaks in and steals the Giant. He enlists Cameron and, ultimately, Joe (after a lot of talking), and they decide to take the prototype to Comdex, the huge computer show. Gordon is suddenly sane (he claims he has always been) and becomes a true leader. There is a touching scene between Cameron and John. He will probably go to jail but is determined to keep her out of it. This is a terrific episode.
