Halt and Catch Fire S1E3 - "High Plains and Hardware" Recap

There's a bird near death in Gordon's yard and his wife wants him to put it out of its misery. He doesn't have the stomach for it so she smashes it with a shovel. He's later given the responsibility of firing people at work and yet again, we see him struggle.

Then there's Cameron, who's having programmer's block. She employs all kinds of methods to get herself out of it, from listening to music, dancing around, sharpening pencils, hanging out with some street punks in a motel room, writing on a mirror with lipstick, and visiting Joe for a late-night hook-up.

Finally, there's Joe, who encounters a woman whom he is certain will ruin Cardiff Electric if she invests. Joe responds by sleeping with her husband. She then calls off the deal. There's still no further explanation of Joe's scars and we can only assume that if the writers are sitting on it, it should hopefully be juicy.

Halt and Catch Fire airs on Sundays on AMC at 10PM.
