Michael negotiates with Trevor (Adam Scott) to sort out the problem of the two Eleanors. Meanwhile, Chidi meets his true soulmate, the real Eleanor.

Quote from Eleanor

Chidi: So, Michael said we're meeting at Tahani's place in an hour for a negotiation session. We'll walk over together?
Eleanor: You don't have to come, man. I'm good. Just hang out with Real Eleanor and name constellations after each other, or whatever it is nerds do. I'm fine on my own.
Chidi: Yeah, Eleanor, just because we have a new guest in the house doesn't mean I'm not still gonna be there for you. I'm in this. We're a team.

Quote from Eleanor

[flashback:]
Dwayne: So you've been temping for us for a year now, and we want to bring you aboard permanently. We think you'd be a great addition to the team.
Eleanor: Yeah, no. Uh, I'm good.
Dwayne: You're turning it down?
Eleanor: I just don't think I'm really one of you guys. You're all obsessed with this place, man. You love working here and talking about working here, and you all hang out like some kind of cult.
Dwayne: We hang out after work because we're friends.
Eleanor: I know. It's weird.
Dwayne: If this is how you really feel, I... I think I have to fire you.
Eleanor: Severance pay. Love it. Good looking out, boss. [grabs candy] Peace!

Quote from Eleanor

[flashback:]
Eleanor: You need me to lie to old people and scare them into buying fake allergy medicine. I get it, man. Which one's my desk?
Wallace: That one, over there. All you gotta do is hit your minimal sales target every week.
Eleanor: Cool. And you guys don't have any lame, mandatory office hangouts, right?
Wallace: Hell no. Some people go out for a drink after work, and I like to run the occasional group drill to see how fast we can shred evidence, but that's it. Most days, you'll be able to avoid even talking to another person here.
Eleanor: Perfect. Happy to be a part of the not-team.
Wallace: It'll be a pleasure not hanging out with you.

Quote from Trevor

Michael: All right, let's begin negotiations. Now, we would like to discuss various trades that we could...
Trevor: Oh, yeah, we're not negotiating. See, Fake Eleanor and I, we bro-ed down pretty hard last night. We hooked up.
Eleanor: No, we didn't.
Trevor: Yeah, but who are they gonna believe... me or a woman? [laughter]

Quote from Chidi

Chidi: Well, that looks delicious. What is that?
Real Eleanor: Oh, it's Tom Yum Goong soup. It reminds me of when I was in Thailand rescuing victims of human trafficking.
Chidi: Ooh, that sounds so good. I mean, um, the soup, not the... human trafficking.
Real Eleanor: Oh, and I think your grilled eggplant looks so good. Should we...
Both: Splitsies?
Real Eleanor: Yeah!
