- Quotes
Sue Wilson Friend: [Sue and her friend are watching the election results] What will you do if O'Brien wins? Set up an office with Selina at the Betty Ford Clinic?
Sue Wilson: No. I've applied for a job outside. Politics bores me. It bores the living *hell* out of me. God, it's boring.
[Amy is on screen]
Sue Wilson: Amy looks off her game. Distracted.
Sue Wilson Friend: I only really know Amy as the woman who rushed everywhere, clutching her phone like it contained her frozen embryos.
Sue Wilson: She's a workaholic. Works frantically to avoid dealing with her weird mix of lack of self worth and narcissism. I really like her!

So, funny story, I'd actually started Season 4 by watching Episode 10 on accident, and didn't realise it until after the fact. I was surprised by how consistently they kept referring to events inside the "timeskip" (my thinking was they'd have a flashback episode or something, having skipped to the juicy bits), but otherwise it all made sense, and the show'd seen some pretty big timeskips in the past... I'm not sure it's an indictment of "Veep" being cookie-cutter "just add swearing" or whatever, but anyway, the episode works well enough. There is some cringier humour with Karen (it's incredible that this one-note character returns, come to think of it, but first time around she isn't bad) or the writers' meanspiritedness towards characters' personal lives (wow, I'm actually defending something to do with Catherine, that's a first, I think - or, like, a 2nd, after her scene with Jonah in "First Response").
