"Quentin, on the other hand, enters the barbershop in an entirely wordless scene that still manages to convey just how much he runs shit. It’s one of the best directed moments in the show. Even though we only see it from outside, Steven Williams’ performance is powerful as he hands Trice a stack of cash and a cake."

"The tale is an encapsulation of what Quentin sees as the thankless, futile nature of corporate employment and class aspirations, and it is a nice peek into the mind of a character who has not revealed much of himself so far."
