February 28, 2018 9:12 AM - Season 5, Episode 6

Rockefeller's (John Ennis) Standard Oil, and Maya Lin (Kimiko Glenn), the designer of the Vietnam War Memorial.

I feel like Mister Rogers would have patted Solomon on the shoulder and told him that he did a good job.

Well played on casting Colin Hanks as Mr Rogers, what with T. Hanks playing Mr Rogers in the movie (as is right and good).

I haven't watched the full episode yet, only the Mr Rogers bit previewed on FB.
