Cupertino Season 1 Episode 5 Preview: A New Lead on Bo?
Olivia takes a case with a personal connection while the rest of the team tries to track down a lead on Bo on Cupertino Season 1 Episode 5, “Celeste.”
Olivia had a pretty tough time on Cupertino Season 1 Episode 4, “A.J. and Buddy.” She got roughed up by the police and arrested. Then the client she believed in turned out to be the one using his market prediction app to interfere with elections.
On “Celeste,” things look like they’ll stay pretty intense for her. She recruits a friend to be the lead client in a class action lawsuit. That means she will already have a different kind of emotional investment in the outcome of the case.
On top of that, the case involves an AI training company accused of wage and overtime abuse. The preview material doesn’t give more detail than that. From what we do get, it doesn’t seem to be the same thing that happened to Olivia at her old job.
Still, just given the nature of the company, it’s bound to bring up some feelings for Olivia. Maybe it’s why she even pursued the case in the first place.
Elsewhere on the episode, Michael and Christy work with Natalia, now fully part of the firm and the Colt AI case, to track down a lead with information on Bo.
That lead is most likely the woman introduced on Cupertino Season 1 Episode 3, “Juno.” Will she have information that will change the trajectory of this case? And more importantly, will she be willing to share it? No one else seems to want to talk about Bo.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
