Since Jian Yang’s Hacker Hostel takeover rendered the Pied Piper gang homeless, Dinesh hasn’t been able to find affordable new accommodations. While I’d be tempted to blame the exorbitant housing prices in the Bay Area (if you want a good heart attack, look into San Francisco rents), the real reason is that Dinesh spent all his dough on his currently “frucked up” Tesla. Rather than live in his car and risk electrocution, Dinesh flits around the office trying to find someone with whom he can room. Nobody wants to deal with the quite often obnoxious Dinesh, but Hooli spy Jeff Washburn is caught off-guard and offers Dinesh half his place.

Once in Jeff’s apartment, Dinesh reveals himself to be desperate for a friend. At first, Jeff hates Dinesh’s attempts at bonding. But when Dinesh tells Jeff he cannot hold his liquor, Jeff sees an easy way to get info to deliver back to Gavin. Under the guise of friendship, Jeff starts handing Solo cups filled with vodka to Dinesh, who tells him how Gilfoyle’s smart fridge prank back in “The Patent Troll” eventually saved Pied Piper’s ass. A giddy, drunk Dinesh thinks he’s found a BFF.
