"I'm surprised Donna let you up here. I thought it would go against 'The Rules'."

"She just wants you to heal. But I appealed to her better nature. I wanted to see how you were doing," Mandy said, squeezing his hand. "I wanted to tell you in person – I've resigned as Media Director."

"Mandy! Is this about that memo for Lloyd Russell? It'll blow over."

"I was never a good fit with you guys, Josh. You know that. You'll all be happier. Don't pretend you won't, not for my sake."

"Maybe. I'll miss you, you know. Despite everything."

"Me too."
