Among the many, many expositive details we get a line in the premier is that Openhanded has taken a liking to Peloton (of course of study he has). His heart specialist has approved his stationary cycling drug abuse — lest we leave her husband’s story of sum problems, Carrie sneaks in a joke around nitroglycerin pills — and he’s around to double-dyed his one-thousandth Peloton twit.

It seems likely the stock fluctuations were directly related to the spoiler. Then again, Peloton’s shares have been in decline for a while, now down 73% for the year. It remains to be seen how the allegations against Noth will factor into Peloton’s financial well-being.
