“Here’s Looking at You” introduces Zoe Margaret Colletti as Zoe, the daughter from Charles’ (Steve Martin) old relationship that walks back into his life on the shooting of the new Brazzos show. Although she plays coy over the reasons behind her visit, she does help our trio of amateur detectives discover the hidden passages within the Arconia. This explains how someone is planting evidence in attempts to frame them for Bunny’s (Jayne Houdyshell) murder. It also allows them to spy on their neighbors including both Nina (Christine Ko) and the returning Teddy Dimas (Nathan Lane) who is back in the Arconia awaiting trial and promising to fuck Oliver (Martin Short) over.

  • IMDb: link

In a somewhat odd episode that is neither fully from the perspective of our podcasters, nor that of murder victim Bunny (Jayne Houdyshell), the appropriately titled “The Last Day of Bunny Folger” examines events from the day of Bunny’s death including her refusing to give up her prestigious board position to Nina Lin (Christine Ko) and her failed attempt to make peace with Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez). Despite the shifting perspective of the episode not quite working, and the parrot tease turning out to go nowhere interesting, the episode does provide a new lead suspect for our podcasters while also pointing out the sad truth that had they been a bit more neighborly Bunny would still be alive.

“Framed” centers around the painting found in Charles’ (Steve Martin) apartment. Although the podcasters don’t learn who put it there, or why they want to frame them for Bunny’s (Jayne Houdyshell) murder, the painting itself provides some answers with the arrival of Bunny’s mother (Shirley MacLaine), who like the artist, once had an affair with Charles’ father (Jeffrey Emerson). The painting, which turns out to be the replica rather than the original, only creates more questions for our intrepid amateur detectives who may be helped, or possibly be led astray, by Bunny’s parting gift to Oliver (Martin Short).
