- Plot
To Build a Better Beta is the seventh episode of Season 3, and the twenty-fifth episode overall. It originally aired on HBO on June 5, 2016.
A beta version of Pied Piper gets an unexpected reception as Dinesh's lack of friends worries him. Amanda isn't sure she can dole out criticism. A strapped Erlich mulls a big decision. The Nucleus team tackles a difficult challenge from Gavin.
Richard grows frustrated with the in-development Pied Piper platform as it remains buggy. Dinesh and Jared suggest they release a beta version to help uncover bugs and fix them at a faster rate, but Richard worries that doing so would only subject the company to more bad-mouthing. Richard's resolve weakens when he discovers Gilfoyle gave the beta to his girlfriend, Tara, who thinks the platform is awesome.
Erlich meets with Arthur who explains Erlich's partnership with Big Head means he's also facing financial ruin -- even bankruptcy won't absolve him of his debts.
Richard gives himself, Dinesh, Jared and Gilfoyle 10 links each of the beta to share out with people they trust. Gilfoyle says he doesn’t trust anyone and gives his links to Jared and Dinesh. Dinesh secretly struggles to find anyone to share his with.
Jared looks over Erlich's finances, and informs him someone earmarked almost 70 percent of Big Head's settlement money for taxes. They both suspect Arthur is to blame for the missing sum. At Hooli, Gavin illegally scans through employee email and learns that Pied Piper released a beta. He tasks his head of security with getting him access.
Erlich and Big Head confront Arthur, who ultimately admits to stealing Big Head’s money. Unfortunately, he can't return it, as he's been funneling the money into his other clients' accounts (whose money he’s been losing for years).
Feedback on the Pied Piper beta is overwhelmingly positive, though Monica finds herself in the minority. Faced with Richard's delight at all the positive feedback, as well as his desire to move up the initial launch, Monica keeps her reservations to herself.
