Coffee (Burt's Meeting Pretext)

Burt Gantz proposes grabbing coffee and catching up as casual cover for his whistleblower approach in Toby's crowded office. Josh, Toby, Bonnie, and Amy hear the line amid confrontation over Kierney-Passaic's hidden contamination. No cup appears or changes hands; the verbal reference masks serious testimony shift from gag-rule fights to corporate crisis.

Whistleblower Walk-In — Testimony Upended

Referenced verbally as Burt's pretext for meeting — 'we were going to get some coffee and catch up' — serving narratively as a casual cover that masks the seriousness of his whistleblower intent and underscores the clandestine nature of the revelation.

Before: Only a verbal pretext; no physical coffee is present or exchanged.

After: Remain a dismissed pretext; the casual cover is abandoned once the substantive confession occurs.
