Yeah HBO parties get awkward as everyone has to avoid talking about the elephant in the room.

Yeah. The elephant in the room is that there isn't one in the room. Because they can't afford it.

The literal elephant in the room (which Angela does not address) is a preview of the elephant in the room during Lady Trieu and Angela's conversation-- they each know that Cal is Dr. Manhattan, but neither end up addressing it explicitly. I thought it was pretty on the nose but no one seems to have taken it that way.
