Cupertino Season 1 Episode 5 sends Olivia undercover as a night-shift AI trainer on WorkSource, a gig platform paying pennies per task, while the firm hunts for the perfect face of a class action against the company. Her friend Celeste becomes that face until one thoughtful bottle of NyQuil lands Olivia on the witness stand. Meanwhile, Beau gets philosophical about smiles, souls, and the two million trainers who built him, and Michael, Christie, and Natalia follow a guy on a Schwinn to a shipping container to find Koki, the woman who launched Beau. What she tells them about him changes everything. Plus, Natalia makes her move for partnership, and Renée Elise Goldsberry's Nicole returns with a cease and desist.
