Ben is also a huge monkey wrench in Jared’s plans to platonically hook Richard up with Dana. Dana’s COO, Ben, is Richard’s object of affection. Richard and Dana from Quiver are the CEOs. The love triangle involves two CEOs and the chief operating officer who secretly bounces between them. Writer Carrie Kemper structures “Chief Operating Officer” like an adulterous romantic comedy where the love affair involves cheating on a job level rather than a romantic one. Like almost everyone else on this show, Richard can only truly love the work he does it saves him from having something that loves him back. So, I believe that Jared tells Richard he loves him, just as I believe that processing that emotion would send Richard to the Sunken Place. Woods’s last scene in this episode is a wonderful outburst of emotion that almost made me cry. Silicon Valley plays Jared’s miserable former ordeals for laughs, but there’s an underlying sincerity to his empathy that no mockery can distill. It’s ironic, considering the horrible life he endured before he came to Pied Piper. Jared is the only person comfortably in touch with his emotions and the feelings of others. Goofy Big Head would do anything for Richard despite being fired by him back in “ The Cap Table” and nearly getting fired from Stanford because of him in “ Server Error.”

Since the series premiere, we’ve been led to believe that Big Head and Richard are best friends, but it’s a rather one-sided relationship. Last season’s “ Intellectual Property” showed that Gavin and Peter Gregory were once buddies until Gavin took out the revenge patent for the decentralized-internet idea. Think about it: Whom would you consider friends on this show? Certainly not Gilfoyle and Dinesh, who at best are frenemies and at worst, brutal adversaries. Silicon Valley sees friendship and love as either weaknesses to be exploited or uncomfortable elements to be avoided at all costs. He was talking about Richard, and while the line is yet another acknowledgement that the showrunners are aware of that sexy Richard-Jared fan fiction on the ‘net, the line also supports a running theme of this show: Feelings are as terrifying as that song Morris Albert sang about them.
This is a quote from last week’s episode, one of those Jared lines that Zach Woods is so good at tossing off nonchalantly. “And then his eyes went dead, like when I tell him I love him.”
