‘Poker Face’ season 2 finale follows Charlie on a race to ruin notorious killer’s plan
The season two finale of the hit comedic mystery series Poker Face releases exclusively on Peacock Thursday, July 10.
What is Poker Face?
For those unfamiliar with the hit Peacock original series, Poker Face follows Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. After a swift departure from her real life, she hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.
Previous episode recap
Last week’s episode “Day of the Iguana” showcased Charlie’s need to solve crimes reach an all-time high as her friend, Alex (Patti Harrison) is at risk for being pinned for a murder she didn’t commit.
The episode opens with Todd (Justin Theroux) as he’s prepping to attend Kirby and Victoria’s wedding when suddenly, a man shows up at his door claiming to be a chauffeur. Unfortunately for Todd, the man ends up killing him before setting his sights on the wedding itself to kill his second target, Kirby.
Posing as Todd himself, the killer assumes the guest role at the ceremony and notices Luca (Simon Helberg) present at the wedding. Surprised by the attendance of the feds, he abruptly leaves the ceremony to convene with his boss who ultimately tells him to finish the job.
With no other option, he stays the course and kills Kirby, but not before finding the perfect person to pin it on—Alex.
Alex is later found with the corpse and panic ensues, but luckily for her, Charlie realizes she’s telling the truth and aids Alex in an escape plan before announcing her friend’s innocence to Luca.
Agreeing to hear Alex out, Luca asks Charlie to bring her back for questioning. Charlie, needing more proof of her friend’s innocence, scoops up Alex before making their way to Indiana for help from Beatrix (Rhea Perlman).
What to expect from Poker Face season 2 finale
Unlike the typical hour-long episodes where Charlie solves the crime within the hour timeline, last week’s episode introduced a significant storyline worthy of a two-episode dedication, meaning last week’s crime is set to stretch into the finale.
As Charlie and Alex are racing to Beatrix in Indiana, she begins to question everything she believes in as she races to warn Beatrix of the unfortunate arrival of the most notorious season two killer, the Iguana.
