Cupertino Season 1 Episode 4 Preview: Will Nichole and Natalia Become Besties?
One of Price & Siffre’s clients goes on the lam with Christy in tow on Cupertino Season 1 Episode 4, “A.J. & Buddy.”
The firm’s newest clients are two founders of a market-prediction website. Nothing in the preview material hints at what the two men are being accused of or anything about the case at all, really.
What we can glean, though, is that it is Christy who, again, brings the clients to the firm, and somehow she ends up doing a runner on one of them. Meanwhile, the other client in the case isn’t so lucky. He ends up in jail.
The clients aren’t the only ones getting arrested on “A.J. & Buddy,” either. Olivia is also arrested after a pretty physical confrontation with the police.
It will be interesting to see how these two tech founders (of a pretty controversial product) fit into the firm’s business model of defending the Davids against the Goliaths. One of them does provide payment with a solid gold block after all.
Still, as intriguing as the case of the week might be, the most provocative part of the preview material for the episode is the glimpses of Nichole and Natalia hanging out.
The prospect of those two being friends would be fun regardless of any context. But after the moment Michael and Natalia shared in Cupertino Season 1 Episode 3, “Juno,” it’s even more compelling.
What even brings those two together? Will we get Nichole’s side of the story regarding her breakup with Michael? Will Natalia learn anything that endears Michael even more to her?
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
