BenRG:
Tilly really is a bizarre personality, isn't she? I mean, I applaud being dedicated to one's work but to be dedicated to the point where you are actually trying to hang on to a location where you are neither wanted nor needed? I'm not sure if that's crazy dedicated or just crazy! FWIW, I suspect that, at some point, it will come out just how afraid of Beatrice she is and just how thoroughly intimidated into doing this job she was.

However, the 'intimidation' explanation cannot and does not explain Tilly's relentless cheer. One can't help but wonder if she's heard rumours about Hannelore being 'nicer' or something and that the thought of working for her instead of being on the executive level at HQ and thus around Beatrice makes this job simply too sweet to lose!

Jeph does like creating completely weird characters, doesn't he?

Tilly's surname is Birch. Her middle name is Quixotica. Hey, what can I say? Her dad was a Cervantes fan!

Which they would blame on Tilly to avoid any embarrassment or blame landing on their desks. She would be demoted or even fired as the embarrassment to the company that she had become, aside from whatever personal revenge Beatrice exacted for not carrying out her plan.

This is the big thing; Hannelore needs to balance her own independence against the fact that Tilly would be made to suffer if she were perceived by Beatrice to have failed.

Exactly. No-one ever advanced their career by demonstrating their management has a problem with their "New clothes".

I'm rather reminded of Sven's Intern.

Thinking personally, I genuinely don't know what a PA could do for me, although I could use a housemaid to deal with my catastrophic untidiness... And like Sven's intern there'd be a tendency to turn one into the other.

Getting rid of "Juicy" - now there's a task.

TILLY: "Mister Forty-Seven? I have a contract for you. Normal rate and the utmost discretion, as always."

Dr. ROFLPWN:
Y'all need to chill. Tilly is delightful. Maybe she can help Hannelore buy out Coffee of Doom and franchise that shit. :D Beatrice would be so proud.
