Ep 7. Truly, Madly, Pradeeply

In the seventh episode of season one of Outsourced, titled "Truly, Madly, Pradeeply," Todd discovers something unexpected about his employee, Pradeep. When Todd and his team are tasked with creating a commercial for an aphrodisiac product, Pradeep volunteers to be the face of the campaign. Todd initially dismisses the idea, but Pradeep's enthusiasm convinces him to give it a shot.

As filming for the commercial begins, Todd starts to notice something unusual about Pradeep's behavior. He seems to be acting more confident and outgoing than usual, and Todd suspects that he may have taken something to enhance his performance on camera. When Todd confronts him about it, Pradeep admits to taking some sort of supplement that he believes will help him attract women.

Todd becomes concerned that Pradeep is putting himself in danger by taking unknown supplements, and he decides to investigate. He discovers that the supplement Pradeep is taking is actually a popular "pickup artist" tool that is meant to manipulate women into sleeping with the user. Todd realizes that Pradeep is using the supplement to try to win over his crush at work, Asha.

Meanwhile, Todd's own romance with Asha hits a roadblock when she discovers that Todd has been dating other women. Feeling betrayed and hurt, Asha begins to distance herself from Todd and focus on her own career aspirations. Todd realizes that he needs to make a grand gesture to win her back, and he comes up with a plan to make a personal commercial for Asha that showcases her talents and highlights his own feelings for her.

As the two campaigns play out - Pradeep's manipulative commercial and Todd's heartfelt tribute to Asha - the tension between the two approaches becomes clear. Todd realizes that the best way to win over Asha's heart is to be honest and genuine, rather than resorting to tricks and manipulations. In the end, he delivers his personal message to Asha and wins her back, while Pradeep learns an important lesson about treating women with respect.

The episode "Truly, Madly, Pradeeply" highlights the complexities of workplace romance and the dangers of manipulative tactics when it comes to dating. It also showcases the challenges of managing an international workforce with different cultural norms and expectations.
