"Halt and Catch Fire's" seventh episode was definitely emotional; with viewers realizing that Joe (Lee Pace) was finally going to choose Sara (Aleksa Palladino) over his involvement in other companies. This week, Cartermatt reports that the two has decided that they will be leaving Dallas.
Also in "Limbo," the tension between Cameron (Mackenzie Davis) and Tom (Mark O'Brien) will rise again as they try to come to terms at Mutiny's user picnic. Cameron will also determine, once and for all, if she will be selling the company or not. Meanwhile, Gordon (Scoot McNairy) will be seen searching for answers as he and his wife Donna (Kerry Bishé) try to accept his deteriorating health.
Last episode, Westgroup was seen pulling all the stops to acquire Mutiny. Joe was prepared to convince Cameron that the deal was gold and that she should not waste time dillydallying. He even tried to win over her employees. Cameron, however, rallied her team and ripped up the offer.
Not to be outwitted, Joe decided to bribe Boz and Tom. Boz was fiercely loyal to Cameron and just ratted out on Joe. Tom, however, could not help but be swayed by the hefty sum offered to him. The employees also got a hold of the shredded acquisition deal and saw what Westgroup had proposed. They then demanded a more democratic approach and decided to put the decision on vote.
In a dinner date with Sara and Jacob (James Cromwell), Sara berated Joe that despite his promises of change, history just kept repeating itself. She wanted him to stop meddling in other people's companies. Tom, meanwhile, finally told Cameron his family's status, and the reason why he wanted Mutiny to be sold. When Cameron was about to decide to sell her company, Joe appeared and told her not to.
Joe admitted that Jacob would be pulling the plug once Westgroup acquired Mutiny and Cameron's vision would be lost and corrupted. She could not believe what she heard, but she saw that Joe was sincere with what he said. When she returned to Mutiny, she got her employees' attention and told them that she would not be selling.
In an interview with the International Business Times, Mackenzie shared her thoughts about her character's momentous declaration.
"I feel like it was one of the most important episodes for Cameron this season because there's so much flip flopping in her trying to figure out how to be a boss in this role that doesn't really come natural to her. She's gone back and forth a few times this season. I think the whole episode is about her trusting her gut and making the decision to stop being some idealized version of a boss."
"Halt and Catch Fire" airs Sunday at 10 p.m. EST on AMC.
