An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

April and Andy wake up around 1 p.m. the next day for their meeting with Andy’s dad, Marshall Skampt. They meet with Jennifer Putnam, who tells April and Andy that they will discuss their opportunities. When April shares her discovery from the previous night, Putnam asks her assistant, Robin, to cancel her calls for the next two hours. Present-day April admits that she knew it was a bad idea and had not examined her motivations. When Putnam asks what they want out of this, April shares their elevator pitch of the April May brand as a counterbalance to the idea of the Carls. Though Putnam loves it, Mr. Skampt warns April that becoming involved with something like this will affect her life forever—she is not just a tool, but a person too.

Putman builds contracts for April and Andy and quizzes them. Mr. Skampt clarifies that he is representing them and argues with Putnam on the terms of their contracts. April and Andy are separated for private discussions to clarify their deal and the nature of their relationship. April is also asked to share anything that could possibly put her under scrutiny and to list every person she has kissed.
