We see more tension this season between Richard and the rest of the guys. What that always the design?
Well, a lot of time we're sitting there in the writers' room racking our brains. In season one, in the fifth episode we just said, "Ok, let's just start pairing two of them together and see if we can think of story." And back then, it was Erlich and Dinesh. So we thought, "We haven't done a Richard and Dinesh story in a while, just purely those two." And that's kind of how this came about, because it's Dinesh's video chat and it goes to his head. We wanted to build up a feud between those two. We had talked in the first season actually about Richard having a Breaking Bad-type thing, where he starts to get a little corrupted by it all. So we finally look at this this season.
