Greg and Tom later run into each other at their relative Kendall's birthday party, which was attended by numerous other members of their family.

During the event, the two take pleasure in the fact that they will likely receive no jail time, and Greg expresses interest in one of Kendall's team members, Comfry.

Tom subsequently expresses that she is out of Braun's character's league, and he is then asked how he ended up with Shiv, to which Macfadyen's character notably responded by expressing that he has a 'd*** the size of a sequoia.'

Greg later runs into Comfry at the event and attempts to initiate a conversation with the staffer.

The character, played by Dasha Nekrasova, rebuffs his romantic advances and reveals that she will be targeting him during a smear campaign of sorts.

Comfry does point out that she will be fair in her actions, and departs after Greg attempts to flirt with her.

Kendall later runs into Greg during his party, and the latter inquires about Comfry's statements.

Kendall, played by Jeremy Strong, urges his relative to stay away from his staffer and not ask her out.

The executive then tells Greg that he is 'the world's biggest f***ing parasite' with a laugh, which greatly upsets his cousin, and while walking away, Kendall adds: 'I'm kidding, or am I?'

Greg later reconnects with Comfry and tells her that Kendall has forbidden him from asking her out, but adds that they should spend time together 'when you're not working for him anymore and trying to destroy my reputation.'

Comfry then expresses her exhaustion regarding her employment and urges Greg to ask her out, which he does.

Greg eventually runs into Tom, who had taken drugs in the wrong order prior to walking through the 'compliment tunnel.'

MacFayden's character then expresses that he has not been happy, and that he is actually incensed by Greg having enjoyed himself at the party.
