After going for the sample at Zev's, Ben is disappointed in the way the jeans fit him. He was striving for a different look, but now they are stuck with something he does not like. Cam has another idea about how to make it work by showing it to Haraki. As Cam is waiting to see the Japanese man, Ben arrives. Haraki is not impressed with the jeans at all, but looking at Ben's tee shirt, he sees a winner, so he asks if he can have 300 of them in a short time, leaving the partners stunned by their good fortune.
A good episode that is fast paced, showing the energy of the city and the young people hungry to make it. Directed with precision by Joshua Marston, and based on the screenplay written by Arty Nelson, Donald Lardner Ward and Rob Weiss, the viewer gets involved in the essence of what the creator, Ian Edelman's vision for the show. It also helps that a young talented cast are excellent in what they are doing. Bryan Greenberg, Victor Rasuk, Luis Guzman, Lake Bell, Martha Plimpton, Dash Mihok, Liza Colon-Zayas, and the great Miriam Colon are wonderful to watch.
