Sean tours the Palo Alto house, impressed by the setup, and asks after Eduardo, learning he stayed behind in New York.
At the Ruby Skye nightclub, Sean delivers a searing pitch to Mark about ambition, VCs, and never settling for a good idea when Facebook could be a billion-dollar one — and needles Mark about excluding Eduardo.
