The Chair Company Episode 5 will premiere next weekend on HBO, following an intense conclusion to the fourth episode as Tim Robinson's protagonist Ron continues digging deeper into the mystery of Tecca. The hit workplace comedy thriller is already garnering a good amount of attention from viewers, and the credit goes to well-known SNL writers Robinson himself, along with Zach Kanin, who brought this eccentric story to life.
It all started for Ron as an attempt to find the root cause of his humiliation at work, but as things appear to be right now, our weird, energy-filled hero is way in trouble. As we witnessed in this week's episode, Ron has found a major breakthrough with his Tecca case, and Ken Tucker is definitely a man of interest.
So, along with his associate Mike, the Fisher Robay project lead is now a full-time and self-hired detective trying to tear apart a big drug racket. Keep reading to find out more about The Chair Company Episode 5.

What to expect from The Chair Company Episode 5?
Before we explore The Chair Company Episode 5 preview, here's a quick recap of what we saw in the last episode. Ron has crossed the threshold of his presence with the whole Tecca thing and Amanda's HR issues at work.
He is also leading the mall project for Fisher Robay, which also demands a good amount of his energy. But Ron is now kind of obsessed with cracking open the mysterious chair company's involvement in a global drug supply chain.
He has his own conspiracy theory about a Hungarian opioid and has revealed the same to his daughter Natalie (who is also clearly worried about her father's crazy Sherlock Holmes phase), hoping to gain her confidence. And now Ron is close to making contact with the first person who might be a lead in the case - Ken Tucker.
The Chair Company Episode 5 preview makes it clear that the upcoming chapter will serve a good amount of action , as Mike and Ron are now sure that:
"Something's going on here."
The next few cut scenes leave glimpses of a construction site explosion, a tumultuous car sequence (with Ron and Mike struggling), people running out of an unknown building, and Ron getting dragged by his feet along the floor of an unidentified room. On the other hand, Ron's daughter Natalie seems to be interested in her father's work (in a good way) and asks him questions.
The Chair Company Episode 5 preview ends inside a bar/restaurant as Mike engages in a heated conversation with an unknown man. So, it becomes evident that Ron is now way into Tecca, and the chair company is also striking back at him, trying to hide something illegal.
Will Ron be able to turn his obsession with the Tecca chairs into a fruitful investigation? Only time (and the upcoming episodes) will tell how it all unravels for a guy like Ron, who least expected his life to move towards such an unprecedented direction.
