Full spoilers for the episode below.
After suffering through his antics for a couple of episodes too many, “Fiduciary Duties” finally lets Erlich earn his keep as part of Pied Piper and in the process makes him a character that finally deviates from being insufferable. This episode finds Erlich becoming a board member of Pied Piper after a drunken promise from Richard, while Richard struggles to articulate the “big picture stuff” for the company. It’s this particular problem that lets Erlich do what he does best – talk – and cement his role in the company.
Richard’s relative ineptitude handling the CEO position is the source of a lot of humor here, but thankfully not at the expense of his newfound aggressiveness. The scene where he argues with Erlich and tries to get out of his promise was a particularly nice touch, and the fact that he only agrees to hold up his end of the deal when Erlich is actually useful was reassurance that Richard’s adopted “be an ass****” mantra still stands true.
