In Veep season 1 episode 5 titled "Nicknames," Selina Meyer, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, is tasked with a particularly complicated situation. A senator has died and Selina must attend his funeral to deliver a eulogy. However, Selina didn't know the senator well and doesn't have much to say about him.

Meanwhile, a flustered Mike McClintock, played by Matt Walsh, arrives at the office with urgent news. A journalist is planning to expose one of the team's nicknames for Selina, and they need to come up with a new one quickly. Selina is particularly worried about the revelation of her nickname because she's been trying to cultivate a more professional image.

As the pressure builds, Selina turns to her team for help in crafting the perfect eulogy and coming up with a new nickname. Amy Brookheimer, played by Anna Chlumsky, suggests a way to honor the late senator by redirecting the conversation, while Dan Egan, played by Reid Scott, tries to win Selina some positive press coverage.

Meanwhile, Gary, played by Tony Hale, struggles to keep up with the demands of his job and his devotion to Selina, who becomes increasingly frustrated with him. Despite the chaos, Selina remains determined to come out on top and maintain her image as a competent, powerful leader.

As the episode progresses, tensions reach a boiling point and Selina's team finds themselves scrambling to keep up. With their backs against the wall, they must come together to overcome the various challenges they face and ensure Selina's success.

In typical Veep fashion, "Nicknames" is a hilarious and insightful look at the world of politics and the challenges faced by those in power. With its sharp writing and talented cast, this episode is sure to keep audiences laughing and engaged from beginning to end.
