Summary
Analysis
An enraged Frank calls Joe from his office. He’s holding a parcel from Joe. Inside is the fish Feng Meihui gifted Joe after their interview, now dripping and rotting. Frank warns Joe not to pull a stunt like this again.
The tone of this scene is funny and light, but underneath this, it seems like Joe is starting to unravel. He uses the gift Feng Meihui gave him as a stink bomb for Frank, twisting its meaning.
