SurrealEstate Season 2 sneak peek: August revisits his old workplace

August returns to his old workplace in SurrealEstate Season 2, Episode 5, and comes across an old computer. This computer wants to know it’s really him.

Usually, when you head back to an old workplace, you don’t get into the depths of it. That’s especially the case when it comes to somewhere that works with billions of dollars of sensitive data. However, August is needed, and he holds all the power.

Rochelle brings him to see an old friend. It’s a computer that is asking for him. Of course, the computer needs to make sure that it’s definitely him, but can he remember the password? This is August. Of course he does!

SurrealEstate Season 2, Episode 5 sneak peek

In this clip from the episode titled “Art & Science,” August puts in the first password that comes to mind. It’s not the password that the computer is looking for. If August doesn’t act fast, then all of the data is going to be deleted. That’s one hell of a rogue move!

Take a look at the SurrealEstate sneak peek before we get into the episode:

It’s clear that August holds all the power. He built in a backup password; one that only he knows, and one that he can choose not to use. As the computer deletes billions worth of data that is only backed up on the cloud—and that’s where the data is being deleted from—Rochelle needs to make a choice. Will she give August what he wants, or will she risk everything?

Of course, August knew exactly what she was going to do. Rochelle had no choice. The question is what’s really going on in this new episode? What else does this computer want?

SurrealEstate Season 2 airs on Wednesdays at 10/9c on SYFY. Watch the following day on Peacock.
