## Biography

Zoey's Extraordinary Return
After the entire fourth floor sings "Hello, Dolly!" to Zoey upon her return to SPRQ Point, Zoey finds George standing by her desk and staring at her eagerly. He introduces himself and says he is the new Max. George tries to comfort Zoey about her father's death and says she can talk to or yell at him if she needs to. While Zoey talks to Leif, a dog barks at George, and Tobin quips that he taught the dog to do that. The next day, Tobin brags to the office about tricking George into believing he was Danny Michael Davis and getting him to bring Tobin a pet tiger. Though George laughs with the other coders, he looks upset. Later, George sings "Don't Cry Out Loud," which further upsets an already-overwhelmed Zoey. Zoey abruptly yells at him to stop, stopping his song. The next day, after Zoey tells Tobin to stop hazing George, George expresses his gratitude. They hug. Later, George plays foosball with Tobin and Leif.

Zoey's Extraordinary Distraction
George partakes in the various games and antics the Brogrammers do after Zoey requests they find a solution to the SPRQPoint watches burning people's wrists. He wins in the game of Fire Wrist and later competes against Tobin in what is seemingly who can drink the most amount of coffee creamers.

Zoey's Extraordinary Dreams
In attempt to lessen her work load in hopes to stop her stress dreams, Zoey assigns things to the programmers to do. George is assigned to figure out a new, cost effective food bar. He ends up creating an egg bar. Interrupting an argument between Tobin and Mackenzie, moderated by Zoey, George informs them that the egg bar is starting to go bad, smelling of sulfur and requests people smell it, to which Tobin snaps back that they will not. When a game of softball results in a window to Zoey's office being broken, she blows up at the Brogrammers due to Tobin not sending back the sexist and visually inappropriate softball jerseys as she previously requested. In response, all of the Brogrammers sing "It's The Hard-Knock Life".

Zoey's Extraordinary Employee
In the elevator, George overshares with Zoey, saying his grandmother's, who died of cancer, birthday that day. Zoey is told she must fire 10% of the 4th floor and had Leif run an algorithm that calculates job performance, the result showing that George greatly underperforms in comparison to the other programmers. As Zoey tries to nicely fire him, he does not understand, so she must directly tell him. After some thought he agrees he isn't great at programming and finds a silver lining. Following a night of excessive drinking, Zoey comes into work hungover to see George sitting at his desk. It's revealed that Zoey drunk dialed George, not Max or Simon like it seemed, and told him to forget about everything that happened. When Zoey fires him again, he sings "Stronger" and thanks Zoey for the opportunity.

## Personality

George constantly seeks approval from Zoey and his colleagues at SPRQ Point. He is also shown to be quite gullible; Tobin is easily able to trick him into thinking he is Danny Michael Davis and buying him a pet tiger. However, this could also just be rooted in George's desire to be liked by his coworkers.
