Lee isnt the only hacker at the retreat, but shes the best.

Hacking the pool cover couldnt be difficult, especially for someone capable of erasing people from doorbell-cam footage.

But by the time they arrived, Andy was already there.

There is no leaving him, Lee says.

And the info dump continues, this time more directly relevant to the present-day plot.

Thats why Bill, David, and Rohan were supposed to meet on the night Bill died.

(Next weeks finale is the shortest yet.)

(We get a decent dose of Oliver, which just feels kind of arbitrary.)

The tension should be even higher than it was last week, but the mood here is almost relaxed.

Shes not supposed to be the one who gawks at serial murderers, perversely delighted by creatively fucked-up kills.

Shes supposed to be the one who gets justice for the women left behind and forgotten by the system.

(Ill be curious if the finale even features any flashbacks.)

Shes fascinated by the idea that he could have been following their investigation on Reddit and appreciating the attention.

To him, Frank Bell isnt interesting, even in a sick way.

You want the killer to have meaning, and he doesnt have meaning, he says.

Hes just a killer.

She has experienced it twice, six years apart, and blames herself for both.

But then everyone starts acting idioticfast.

The same is true of Eva, Oliver, David, Ziba, and maybe even the Ronsons.

Either way, it seems more and more obvious that he was involved somehow.

Hes the most thematically appropriate culprit given the shows distrust of AI.

But hey, maybe theres something meta about Darbys pattern of considering the killer instead of the victim.

That was a bold creative choice, and it paid off with a good love story.

But it may result in a finale that doesnt offer any truly mind-blowing revelations.

Enjoying this show means accepting that sometimes its both too much and not enough.

What exactly was Davids plan in distracting Todd, and why did Oliver know about it?

Its almost framed like theyve all agreed to revolt, but the vibe isnt giving high-stakes heist at all.

And again, the perspectives of people like Lu Mei and Martin are totally missing here.

Wheres theNew Girlstyle spinoff with Lee, Bill, David, and Rohan?

How long did Bill make it without having a phone or laptop?
