Eric makes a tough decision to save the company
A funny thing happened over at 8686 Mint Hill Drive.
You know who likes to erase security footage?
Speaking of Melanie, were back at SEG right after Neil tells Eric about Melanies side hustle.

Neil is still insisting he knew absolutely nothing about Kates murder or Patricks fraud.
Still, after Eric tells John about the mess Patrick has caused, their solution is to fire him.
And thats what they do…in front of the entire staff.

It was hella awkward, to say the least.
But Eric isnt trying to hear it, because hes pretty much convinced Patrick killed Kate.
But, eh, what do I know?)
This calls for a little manipulation.
But she didnt pay him with money, if you know what I mean.
So, I guess this guy wont be representing him after all?
Only theyre not there to do yoga, as you mightve guessed.
Like, thats it.
But anyway, were back at the police station where Melanie is once again being questioned.
Melanie decides to fess up and reveal she didnt kill Kate, but she knows who did.
Um, you couldnt have admitted this eight episodes ago?
Also worth noting: Remember the time Eric found out Kate paid $100,000 to whomever was blackmailing him?
Well, the software Kate installed to track the money showed the money was moving again.
