Season 1, Episode 3: "Catherine"
If over the last couple of episodes of "Veep" we've been critical of the writers overstuffing the plot, that's not an issue this time around. But unfortunately, the titular subject of the episode (who really only comes into play in the last third), is also the least interesting.

But it won't be without jumping through a few hoops first. There is also the oil lobby who wants to be appeased by having someone from their industry involved. Trying to please both sides, Selina decides to go with ex-oil man Chuck Furnham -- someone who was in the industry, but no longer is -- in a hope that she can please the lobby's need for a friendly face,...
