In Season 2, in the course of the blackout, when Lester is taking a breather in board president Nina Lin’s (Christine Ko) residence, he mentions he linked together with his spouse over his love of the chat and her hatred of awkward silences — “Says with me, she never has any.” We discover out Lester and Lorraine have two kids, Could and Frank; one at SUNY Stony Brook and one doing improv.
There is a mysterious aspect to Lester, too. In Season 1, he signifies he knew Sting and The Police again within the day, then calls for nobody say something about it once more. In Season 2, when the trio are staging the confession lure, Lester says he graduated from Juilliard. “Started out off-Broadway with Tracy Letts. We were rivals.
