About 17:07 minutes into this episode, [exposition] Jen gets called into her boss’ office. He stands there posing, looking out a window. Acts like he does not see her at first, [she is standing in the doorway, then walks into office-(bulk)]. Then he walks to his chair, sits down and tells her to leave. She turns to leave and as she does so, has a disapproving look on her face. He proceeds to send her mixed messages, tells her he likes her because she has backbone, spunk and balls (which is ironic because she is doing the exact opposite) saying that most others would have asked him lots of questions like, why did he ask them to come up, only to tell them to leave.

The scene is from Jen’s perspective as she walks in the office, she speaks with a humble quiet voice to his demands. There is first contempt on her face, then joy as he finally tells her she is being promoted [Resolution]. After I watched that scene again, I noticed that he had her sit on a chair that looked like a hand and told her to “sit on his hand.” There were lots of obvious subliminal messages about sex from the boss which Jen tried to ignore. There was no sound except for some cued audience laughter.
ACTORS: Katherine Parkinson, Richard Ayoade, Chris O’Dowd.
