And it's at one of these parties that Iris is introduced to Teddy. JQ, do you have like tertiary friends?

Yes.

Yes.

Exactly. Teddy is a recurring character. He is a tertiary friend of Aiden, our hot bartender roommate who is barely present. If you ask Aiden, he honestly couldn't even remember how he met Teddy. But what Aiden does know about Teddy is that Teddy's workplace is always hiring, which is why Aiden introduces Iris to Teddy in the final month of her fellowship when she is desperate for a job.

Teddy works for an arts education nonprofit that, like a lot of nonprofits, has a really high turnover rate. Iris immediately sets out to charm Teddy, which turns out to be really easy because Teddy also loves New Girl and also has a crush on Max Greenfield. After a few minutes of conversation, Teddy is like, I'm going to do my very best to make sure you get one of these jobs that have opened up.

And he is true to his word. Iris gets the job and immediately decides that Teddy needs to become her new work bestie, which is very easy because Teddy is like me and could talk to a brick wall. How do you feel about pranks?

So Teddy loves a good prank and he has a lot of thoughts on what makes a good prank. So good pranks have some important qualities. They have to be low stakes, but not lazy. So Teddy's not doing a whoopee cushion unless he's sitting on them. Good pranks cannot humiliate or embarrass the person being pranked. Okay. All right. And good pranks do not involve jump scares. Oh, okay. All right. Okay.

Iris learns about Teddy's love for pranks within her first week of starting at the nonprofit. She comes into work one day and sees that the family photo that she had pinned to the wall of her cubicle had been replaced with an almost identical copy that had Teddy photoshopped in.

It's a good enough Photoshop job that Iris actually ends up keeping the tampered photo and displaying it alongside the original, which Teddy gives back immediately. So all in all, Iris is pretty pleased with her choice of work bestie. She's even more pleased when a few months after starting her new job, Teddy is invited to a party at the townhouse.

Since he's a tertiary friend, he's not always invited. But this party is bigger than usual because it's a going away party for Aiden, who is finally taking the plunge and moving to Arizona. A couple of hours have passed in this party and Iris is appropriately tipsy. Her and Teddy are gossiping in a corner about one of their mutual co-workers, one of life's great joys.

When in the middle of this conversation, Teddy turns to Iris and says, watch this. And without further explanation, he turns and kind of sidles his way across the room right into a conversation with a few of Michael and Blake's friends. Iris is watching, not sure what Teddy is up to. And she only gets more confused when she sees Teddy's fingers slide across a bookshelf behind him.
