Recap of Episode 5: “Maxine Is Ready to Single Mingle”
The previous episode set the stage for major developments. Maxine and Evelyn Rollins, played by Allison Janney, were desperate to raise money for Laura Dern’s character, Linda Shaw, who is doing charity work in Cuba. With the Rollins family assets frozen by the government, they discovered their only valuable asset was a stash of gold.
They enlisted the help of Dr. Dusty Magic to sell the gold at a square dance party hosted by the legendary Marjorie Merriweather Post, played by new guest star Patti LuPone. The episode featured a show-stopping musical number where LuPone’s Post yodeled “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart”.
Meanwhile, a major misunderstanding was cleared up: Josh Lucas‘s character, Douglas, was not kidnapped by Pinky. He was taken by the FBI for questioning. His return complicates a budding connection between Maxine and Dr. Dusty, who steps aside upon seeing Douglas. The episode ended with Evelyn learning a crucial secret—Maxine is the reason the government froze all their assets.
What to Expect in Episode 6: “Maxine Gets Herself”
The official synopsis for Episode 6 points to a new mission and fresh family drama. It states: “Virginia enlists Maxine and Douglas to help find the Russian mole. The arrival of a new family member complicates the matter”. This suggests activist Virginia, played by Amber Chardae Robinson, will take a central role, tasking Maxine and her husband with a spy hunt.
The mention of a “new family member” arriving promises to shake up the existing dynamics at the Palm Royale. The episode may also provide more clues about two lingering mysteries: the FBI’s ongoing search for Pinky and the hidden whereabouts of Carol Burnett‘s character, Norma Dellacorte.
