Ep 2. Off to the Races

Off to the Races is the second episode in the first season of Ground Floor, a workplace comedy series that follows the lives of the employees at a high-powered investment firm. The episode centers around the annual charity race at the office, and the various antics and drama that ensue as the employees prepare for and participate in it.

The episode opens with Brody (Skylar Astin), a young and ambitious investment banker, waking up in the apartment of his boss, Mr. Mansfield (John C. McGinley). Brody is excited to participate in the charity race, but Mr. Mansfield warns him that it's not just about winning, it's about "the game within the game" – the social maneuvering that takes place among the employees as they jockey for position and try to gain advantage.

Meanwhile, Brody's colleagues Jenny (Briga Heelan) and Threepeat (Rene Gube) are also getting ready for the race. Jenny is determined to win, and has been training for months. Threepeat, on the other hand, is more interested in the social aspect of the race, and is using it as an opportunity to network and build relationships with clients.

As the race gets underway, tensions run high and the competition becomes fierce. Brody, who is still recovering from his night with Mr. Mansfield, struggles to keep up with the others. Jenny and Threepeat both have their own challenges to overcome, as they face unexpected obstacles and opponents.

Throughout the episode, we see glimpses of the personal lives of the characters, including Brody's relationship with his girlfriend, Jenny's struggles with her combative roommate, and Threepeat's attempts to impress a female employee.

In the end, though, it all comes down to the race itself. As the finish line approaches, tensions reach a boiling point, and the stakes become higher than anyone could have anticipated. Will Brody be able to overcome his hangover and prove his worth? Will Jenny be able to maintain her focus and win the race? Will Threepeat be able to charm his way to victory?

Off to the Races is a fast-paced and entertaining episode that showcases the talent and humor of the Ground Floor cast. With a mix of workplace satire, romantic comedy, and sports movie clichés, it offers something for everyone, and leaves viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode.
