Summary
To complete the cloud integration portion of the Pied Piper app in time for Tech Crunch, Richard hires Kevin "The Carver", an Adderall-addicted teenaged programmer. However, the Carver accidentally destroys the entire app, forcing the team to work together to recover their work. Meanwhile, Gilfoyle's hot girlfriend Tara visits the house. After Gilfoyle tells Dinesh that Tara wants to have sex with him, an embarrassed Dinesh finally agrees to the tryst, but soon discovers that Gilfoyle was playing him. Jared accepts a ride in Peter Gregory's driverless car, but ends up being trapped in the car and shipped to Peter's artificial island located on the International Date Line.

Notes and Trivia
According to the DVD commentary, there was an alternate story line where Jared was trying to get Peter Gregory's signature, followed him on a plane, and wound up in Siberia. The scenes were cancelled when Peter Gregory passed away. It was replaced by the story line where Jared gets trapped in the self-driving car and shipped to the island.
The self-driving car was being driven by a crew who controlled the car from another vehicle that remained nearby.
The actress who played the nude woman with the papier mache goat head won the part mainly because she had done the exact same part for a Rob Zombie video.
Goofs
While in the doctor's office Richard states he learned Ruby on Rails when he was 17. However, tech geeks have pointed out that Richard would have already been 18 when Ruby on Rails came out.
When Kevin the "Carver" destroys the Pied Piper platform, many tech geeks wondered why they couldn't just revert the platform to an earlier build. However, in the DVD commentary it was revealed that there was a line cut out of the final dialogue that actually explained why they couldn't revert to an earlier build.
Locations
The scene where Jared and the self-driving car drive into a shipping container and load into a ship was filmed at the Port of Los Angeles, Wilmington, CA. (Google)
