Single Soon<\/a>\u201d). Mabel finds herself getting competitive with a podcast that Th\u0113 is a fan of, Drunk Sluts Do Murder, so much so that she lies and says that they just signed a big deal at Wondify. While no such deal exists yet, back at the apartment Mabel says that she\u2019ll submit a pitch to retroactively make that lie a reality. She also reveals her backstory with Th\u0113 further, explaining how they were very close until Zoe\u2019s death (\u201cOh, from season one!\u201d Oliver remembers), after which Th\u0113 completely changed and ditched her.<\/p>\nLater that night when Jay arrives, he\u2019s joined, or rather followed, by two uninvited guests \u2014 Camila and Bash \u2014 who crash the get-together to ensure that Jay doesn\u2019t throw them under the bus. Or to use their words, they want to give the trio the \u201copportunity to keep us out of your podcast before we sue you for libel.\u201d When Mabel points out that they saw them sniffing around a murder scene, referring to the casino, they say that, according to the news, Nicky was found hanging from a rack at the dry cleaners. Mabel then lets it slip that they may have done their own little autopsy, so now each side has something over the other. This big group conversation isn\u2019t really going anywhere, so they decide to split them all up to get them talking.<\/p>\n
But these pairings prove to be more like therapy sessions than interrogations for the trio. Oliver ends up seeking advice from Camila, an interior-design expert who\u2019s a cross between Gwyneth Paltrow and Martha Stewart, about whether he needs to get a new place to nest and establish his marriage with Loretta. Meanwhile, as Charles (who seems plagued by his own mortality) and Bash (famous for fighting his) cook dinner, Bash tells him that while technology (and his stable of teen-plasma donors) has helped him stay young, reinvention is the real key. We also get a posthumous Regis Philbin cameo during this exchange, when Charles drops his grandmother\u2019s recipe into the sauce, seemingly losing it forever, before Bash uses his phone to pull up a decades-old video of Charles sharing it on Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee. This is an especially fun nod given that one of the show\u2019s writers and executive producers is Regis\u2019s daughter J.J. Philbin.<\/p>\n
As for Mabel and Jay, he tells her that the only crime he\u2019s guilty of is being an embarrassing nepo baby and trying to shake off that stigma by doing something good, but he just keeps trusting the wrong people. She can relate to that and shares her own, similar story with Th\u0113, perhaps showing her cards too much. She\u2019s clearly charmed by him, despite crushing on a suspect typically being Charles\u2019s thing, as Oliver later points out. Ultimately, the story they\u2019re told and believe is that Nicky showed up angry, wielding a meat cleaver, and then Jay stepped up trying to be a hero, and his finger got chopped off.<\/p>\n
Back when they\u2019re alone, Mabel gets word that her pitch worked and Wondify wants to sign them. It\u2019s like a gift from God, or perhaps a gift from someone with more money than God. But Mabel\u2019s likely too blinded by this chance to stick it to Th\u0113 to question the suspicious timing. They sign the contract, tour the offices, and check out their new fancy studio before she has a realization about their evidence. The finger they found is from the opposite hand, so it can\u2019t be Jay\u2019s after all, meaning the story the billionaires fed them was a lie. But before they can even turn their attention back to them, their new boss at Wondify alerts them that a clause in their contract prohibits them from investigating Wondify management, which now includes their new majority stakeholders: Camila, Bash, and Jay.<\/p>\n
As we heard from these billionaires at the beginning of the episode, it\u2019s not about money for them; it\u2019s about winning. That\u2019s what they\u2019re drawn to, and it\u2019s what they\u2019re good at. So good, in fact, that they were able to win this time by making their opponents (Mabel, Charles, and Oliver) think that they were playing a totally different game altogether. And now that they\u2019ve finally realized, it\u2019s too late \u2014 at least until this three-year contract is up. But then again, contracts have loopholes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
