Change We Can't Believe In

Meanwhile, Veronica tries to work with Lem and Phil on fixing their faulty P.A. system. She becomes quickly annoyed with the two of them, however, and tries to change their dynamic. Phil and Lem aren't pleased.
The Great Repression
When a misunderstanding leads oddball Sheila to accuse both Ted and Linda of sexual harassment, Veronica comes up with a solution to avoid having them punished. She convinces Veridian to classify sexual harassment as a disease so anyone accused of it cannot be held responsible.

Lust in Translation
Ted romances a beautiful German executive who cannot speak a word of English. Veridian is developing a translation device for her company, enabling the two to communicate. The problem is, the voice of the device is Phil's, which ruins the mood for Ted.

When a wave of layoff hits Veridian and little Rose seems to have inside info because of a friend in her Hive playgroup, Veronica tries to pump her for information, much to Ted's disapproval. Meanwhile, Linda is elated to sell her first children's book -- until someone points out that her lead character, a lemur, is the spitting image of Phil -- and Lem starts a passionate affair with one of the company lawyers, only to find out that his paycheck is being docked for the "billable hours" he's spending with his new girlfriend.
The Impertence of Communicationizing
When a typo in a memo about inappropriate behavior at Veridian Dynamics orders employees to engage in offensive language, Ted tries to convince the company to correct the error, but not before the insults start flying. Meanwhile, Veronica worried that her promotion was the result of a typo on a memo meant for W. Palmer and not V. Palmer.
Beating a Dead Workforce
After an employee literally drops dead in the midst of Veridian's big push to finish a major project -- a machine that ironically will get people to sleep -- Ted starts to think they're being overworked. Veronica says the company doesn't want to ease up. Veronica even exploits the funeral to rally the employees to finish the project on time. Ted ends up defying Veridian's newly mandated work rules (including 14 hour days) and is applauded and followed by his coworkers.
It's Nothing Business, It's Just Personal
When Veronica's sexy, magician boyfriend Mordor comes to town and she starts slacking off at work big time, Ted tries to interfere in her love life to get her back on track and tells her Mordor is having an affair. Meanwhile, Lem is perplexed when he is mysteriously given a bright red lab coat while everyone else has plain white ones. Though Lem and his lab mates are perplexed over the change, the red coat is merely Veronica's psychological ploy to increase productivity. Veronica ends her relationship with Mordor, but then takes him back. Ted, however, catches Mordor with yet another woman. Ted defends Veronica's honor, but loses the fight with Mordor. Nevertheless, Veronica ends her torrid affair, and regains her repsect for Ted.
Love Blurts
