Immediately after Pat comes into the room, Mr. Mackey yells at her, blaming her for Intellilink's problems. After she tells him that she is just getting acclimated with the system, Mr. Mackey yells at her again and fires her on the spot.

Trivia
- Pat Conners is modeled on Kathleen Sebelius, a politician who served as the U. S. Secretary of Health and Human Services from 2009 until 2014 under Barack Obama, and previously as Governor of Kansas. She oversaw the rollout of Healthcare.gov, which went offline frequently amid technical difficulties when it was first launched, and was asked to resign shortly later.[1]
