If you thought the previous episode served up some major revelations, you aint seen nothing yet.
An hour prior, we were dealing with the blackout and Llewellyn Mathers jumping to his death.
Ah, what a time!
Teddy replays their last interaction over and over.
The last time she came to his room, Llewellyn was wildly drunk and quite maudlin.
Someone had sent him a fancy bottle of wine, and he couldnt pass up drinking the whole thing.
All he wanted to do was rest his head on Teddy and talk about his feelings.
It turns out our creepy boy isnt creepy at all; hes just sad!
However, throughout the conversation, he does explicitly say hes not looking to end his life.
He doesnt want the ride to be over just yet, and he wants Teddy to know it.
But Teddy is reeling.
She cant believe she didnt see the signs.
Shes confused about why Llewellyn would do this.
All of this feels incredibly convenient, but sure, well go along with Teddy figuring this out.
Llewellyn was poisoned, just like Alexandra.
When Anna learns the news from an irate Imogene, she spins out a little too.
She informs her parents, and her dad is less than comforting.
In fact, hes a real dick about it.
There is zero sympathy or even any semblance of an emotion.
Unfortunately or fortunately, I guess, the Colliers do seem like terrible people Katherine cant save herself.
Anna isnt even a real Collier, she casually drops; Lawrence isnt her biological father.
Katherine cant deny it, especially because Celia got that useful piece of info from Father Toby.
Lawrence never knew the truth.
Anna goes ballistic on her mother, who hands it right back to her daughter.
According to Katherine, Anna has nothing to complain about.
She made sure her daughter had a last name full of opportunity and power.
No wonder everyone looks completely ravaged!
It would be hilarious if we had time for it.
Alas,Death and Other Detailshas so many balls in the air that we cannot relish it.
I stand by my earlier assessment that this show has way too many characters.
So whats the true story behind Celia Chun?
Celias husband grew sick and died.
The Colliers handed her a check for $25,000 to keep her quiet.
Celia took the money and began her own company so the Colliers could never hurt her again.
Not until decades later did Keira approach her, looking to take the family down.
When that fell apart, she clearly found another way to enact some revenge.
The confirmation of her memory sends Imogene spinning.
Shes sure of it.
She finds Lawrence out on the deck and presents her case to him.
If looks could kill, Lawrence would be added to our ever-growing list of bodies.
But then something strange happens: Hes confused.
He thinks Imogene is Keira.
Thank God, youre here, he says.
Nothing works without you.
Anna arrives to explain that Lawrence has early-onset dementia.
Some days are better than others.
That day, when he sold the majority stake in the company to the Chuns?
That was a bad one.
He has no idea whats going on.
Hes so upset that she had to go digging, that she couldnt leave well enough alone.
Its looking very much as though Lawrence ordered a hit on Keira all those years ago.
Admittedly, Im finding it harder and harder to sympathize with Imogene.
Rather than seeming heroic or understandably angry, she mostly comes off as selfish.
Maybe its the haircut?
The never-ending supply of crop tops?
Am I just dead inside?
So what about the more recent murders?
The wine was gifted to him by … Katherine Collier.
Is Katherine Collier actually Viktor Sams?
It seems safe to cross Katherine off our suspect list.
If it feels like were really in the home stretch now, youre not wrong.
Our cruise body count has jumped to four, and we get another surprise guest.
Gather the guests, he demands.
We are going to play a game.
Oh, and did I mention theres a bomb onboard with enough firepower to sink the entire boat?
The stakes here have jumped exponentially.
The Aforementioned Other Details
We were right, friends!
Imogene did slip something to Jules when she handed him his tennis ball: a key to his cell.
Jules may be the passengers only hope!
Did he catch something on-camera that will crack the whole case?
Youre fucking the fucking priest?
Tripp asks his mother when that juicy tidbit becomes public knowledge.
Tripp just may be the MVP of this show.
