More from TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\nDoes Elsbeth figure it all out in delightful fashion, per usual? Read on for the highlights of \u201cYes, And\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n
CUTTHROAT COMEDY<\/strong> | Fresh off a trip to Scotland, where she was visiting Angus (\u201cmy boyfriend \u2014 actually, I\u2019m not sure I should call him that,\u201d she says), Elsbeth attends a taping of Way Late With Scotty Bristol<\/em>. She\u2019s there in support of her friend, Sheryl, an author who\u2019s a guest on that evening\u2019s show. The host, Scotty, is an acerbic jerk who saves his meanest digs for Richter\u2019s Mickey. In the audience, Elsbeth winces at the harsh jokes directed Mickey\u2019s way, and it\u2019s clear that headwriter Laurel\u00a0\u2014 who is Mickey\u2019s wife \u2014\u00a0feels the same.<\/p>\nAfter the taping, Mickey asks Scotty for time off to deal with his worsening health problems, which are only exacerbated by the high-stress work environment; Scotty says no. So Laurel sends her husband home, slips into Scotty\u2019s office and starts reminiscing about the time the three of them were improv comedians in Seattle. From their conversation, we learn that she long ago chose Mickey over Scotty, but she\u2019s flirting in a manner that makes Scotty think that she wants to cheat on her husband\u2026 and Scotty is into it.<\/p>\n
But what Laurel really<\/em> wants is to lure Scotty over to his industrial-sized paper shredder \u2014 which he calls \u201cMickey II\u201d \u2014 so she can feed his necktie into it, strangling him to death. When Mickey comes back to have it out with Scotty, he finds his boss dead; Laurel is in the edit room, and no one knows she was ever gone.<\/p>\n\n
