9. Hooli-Con

Complete story — includes the ending

Needing 123,000 new users, the team head to Hooli-Con, following Mia's advice to disguise their app as a Hooli download for free Wi-Fi at the event. Dinesh and Gilfoyle strategically place routers for maximum interception coverage; Hoover, Hooli's head of security, is suspicious and warns Barker who rebukes him for the distraction. Richard sabotages the screen saver of Winnie's new boyfriend, who reports it and triggers a response team which discovers some of the routers. The Pied Piper team attempt a workaround but are caught, and Jared is outraged at Richard for risking everything on something so petty. Hoover confronts them with CCTV evidence but lets them go as Richard once helped Belson hinder Barker's plans at Hooli. Pied Piper gains sufficient installs. However, Barker and Feldspar's keynote is a mobile demo of HooliVR, which causes a number of phones in the auditorium to explode. Meanwhile, Erlich deciding that he and Richard are forever cursed, decides to move to Tibet on Gavin Belson's invitation. When he gets there, Gavin is far from happy to see him.
