The Key

Season Two Premiere. Looking for the key to ruin Abaddonn and free its employees, Amy orchestrates a meeting with a charming whistle-blowing journalist, Jeff Flender (Dermot Mulroney), sharing some of the incriminating emails she's printed out at work with Tyler's IT password. Though he doesn't find a story in the emails, Jeff encourages Amy to dig deeper.

Revenge Play

Amy and a still-reluctant Tyler meet Jeff at an LA jazz club, where Jeff reveals he's already been working on a story about Abaddonn but needs proof of bribery--leading Amy to revel in her revenge fantasies. Later, Abaddonn's breach of security is exposed--leaving Tyler scrambling to find a solution that won't lead investigators to him or Amy.

Higher Power

Amy receives a letter from Hawaii from Levi--who escapes Open Air with a pair of fellow malcontents for a night of drugs and debauchery. After pushing himself to his hard-partying limits, Levi decides he's ready to return to Open Air and give rehab one more chance.

Follow Me

Amy becomes inspired to use social media to spread her message of change, and attends a gathering of liberal intellectuals on Jeff's invitation. Dougie learns who hacked into Abaddonn's system, but has second thoughts about reporting the breach to HR. Amy has a chance run-in with Abaddonn CEO Charles Szidon.

The Ghost is Seen

In an effort to dig up dirt on Szidon, Amy, Tyler and Dougie (still irate over being betrayed by management) take turns trying to befriend the CEO's assistant, Eileen. Eventually agreeing to join the trio for drinks after work, Eileen takes a shine to Tyler, who ends up with a guilty conscience when the two start dating.

All I Ever Wanted

In the giddy afterglow of finding gold in Szidon's personal emails, Amy lets down her guard with Jeff, and indulges herself in daydreams of building a perfect life with the dashing journalist. The dream comes to an abrupt end, however, when Levi unexpectedly returns from rehab in Hawaii.

No Doubt

In hopes she will drop her crusade against Abaddonn, Tyler gets Eileen to arrange a meeting for Amy with Szidon, who turns out to have more compassion than Amy expected. Dougie goes off the rails after getting official word about Cogentiva's future. Amy confides in Krista about the Abaddonn expose, and has a tense meeting with Levi.

Agent of Change

Season Two Finale. On the precipice of bringing down Abaddonn, Amy warns Tyler to prepare himself for the inevitable fallout. When Szidon gets wind of her intentions, Amy wrongly points a finger at Krista, who has just given birth. As the crisis reaches its denouement, Amy is intercepted by HR, who take her to meet with Szidon and Abaddonn lawyers for a final reckoning.
