What Happened in Episode 5: “Tongue Tied”
The previous episode saw the trio facing a major obstacle. After being trapped in a podcasting contract that legally prevents them from accusing the billionaire suspects, they called Detective Williams for help. She informed them that the secret casino under the Arconia had been cleaned of evidence and suggested they talk to the building’s staff.
Charles, Oliver, and Mabel split up to investigate. Charles went on a date with Sofia, the widow of missing mobster Nicky Caccimelio. During their dinner, Sofia shared that her family, not Nicky’s, had mob connections. Charles was seduced by Sofia, and he later realized he left his phone—filled with incriminating evidence—in her car.
Meanwhile, Oliver and Mabel met with the Arconia’s staff, who were angry about being replaced by a robot doorman named L.E.S.T.R. They discovered a cryptic message carved into a table that read “DIE LESTER DIE,” though the staff claimed it was a protest against the robot, not a threat against the human Lester. Oliver tried to calm tensions by holding a building meeting, which ended in chaos and the destruction of the L.E.S.T.R. unit.
By tracking Charles’s phone, the trio followed Sofia to an address in Flatbush. At the same time, Detective Williams called to reveal that “Tommy the Tongue,” an entity connected to the casino, was not a person but a company from which a large sum of money had just been withdrawn. The address for the withdrawal matched the location where Sofia was headed. The episode ended with Charles, Oliver, and Mabel watching as Sofia met with Lorraine, Lester’s widow.
What to Expect in Episode 6: “Flatbush”
The new episode will continue from this cliffhanger. The official plot description indicates that the investigation will take Oliver and his wife, Loretta, back to the streets of his childhood, where old memories and secrets about Lester and Nicky’s widows will come to the surface. At the same time, Mabel and Charles will follow new leads after a break-in.
The meeting between Sofia and Lorraine will be a central focus. The two widows meeting in secret raises immediate questions about their possible involvement in their husbands’ deaths and the money withdrawn from the “Tommy the Tongue” company. The episode will likely explore their connection and what they are planning.
Furthermore, the destruction of the L.E.S.T.R. robot could prove significant. Before it was destroyed, Mabel realized that the robot contained a digital copy of all Lester’s notes and ledgers, which could have held vital clues. While the original unit was destroyed, it was noted that a replacement was already on the way.
