The time jump had me so confused, I went and double-checked that I hadn't missed an episode. But, I guess that's sorta what they were going for!

The time jump was confusing, but I thought it was clever that instead of the typical "Four years later" caption, they just zoomed into the Windows opening screen "(c) 1990 Microsoft Corp."

I would like to say that Cam inventing a game on the fly to pass the time chatting with Joe is a great little nod to her game designer passions.

Wow I had no idea how much of a wave of bittersweet nostalgia would wash over me when "Velouria" started playing at the Atari party. It made me like Cameron and Joe in a way I haven't before.
Then they fucked and I'm back to hating them both. It seemed like the show had finally moved past the "will-they-won't-they" bullshit from S1 but I guess not. We just fast-forwarded 4 years to the next dumb shit they did...

It was so weird seeing Joe and Cam so friendly.
