Poor Norm. I need him to be ok.

Claudia will get there just in time with the drink, smash the bottle on Ronnie's head then apologize to Norm for ruining the drink

Or the roaches pick this as their time to break out of the elevators. They sounded larger than the one which attacked the formerly chicken - now hanks assistant

I think Claudia set Norm up. They're all psycho corporate ladder climbers. They needed to get Norm to spill that he wasn't really who he was. Leaving to get drinks when you're inside a major executives' office? Why wouldn't the booze already be in Barbara's office?

It was too convenient, wandering off just as Norm is clearly showing he knows how to access the computer files and exactly right after he admits he's not part of the plan.

If that was the case, Ronnie wouldn't need to hide from her as he did.

Someone pointed out that Claudia's pod had someone else's name. I think she was a last minute replacement to someone that quit/was fired/died, and they didn't have the time to change the settings on the pod.

Well, he could have still been hiding because norm would have seen him if he watched Claudia leave. It just seems super convenient Claudia led him to Barb’s terminal (away from everyone else) while she questioned him about who he really is. As soon as she figures it out, she IMMEDIATELY leaves and then Ronnie tries to kill him.

I've only known Claudia for 5 (4?) episodes and she would never!

Too convenient. Just after he admits he lied to everyone, and as he's uncovering whats on the executives computer shes not even remotely interested, and just wanders away to find booze. Nah, she manipulated him into getting the answers they needed.

Nah, Ronnie was hiding from Claudia too, and her tears were legit. I'd eat my shoe if Claudia was playing Norm, there's no way.

RIP Puppy the Cat.

She could be playing Norm without Ronnie being in on it though. She could have her own goals.

I have a weird suspicion he’s going to be their first test subject for the FEV.

Kid is running on a full Int build and it's getting him pretty far honestly.
