* ForWantOfANail:
** The massive reshooting of the Magellan ad in "Commercial" all starts from Sadie suggesting that Payne post a rainbow square on social media.
** Because of the faulty pawls installed on some of the cars, one of them runs downhill and scrapes into a metal railing, causing sparks that ignite a forest fire. The fire soon gets out of control, causing an even more massive PR nightmare for Payne Motors than the pawl coverup.



* TheLoad: Wesley really contributes nothing, and isn't even technically an employee, only being allowed to loiter around the office because he's the grandson of the CEO.
