Why is achildnow deputy manager?

I’m just really suspicious of him at this point.

Milchick busts Mark immediately, recognizing his handwriting, and Mark snaps and demands to see hisrealcolleagues.

So Helly, Irving, and Dylan all return one by one.

But something weird is going on.

Again, this act of kindness and free will seems awfully suspicious from Milchick.

Dylan successfully convinces him not to leave.
