I might be wrong, but we just finished up the season last night (late to the party). But I don’t think at any point was it confirmed that Cinda knew that Poppy was Becky–or at least that Becky told her, or that she knew before the end of the season. Becky/Poppy was playing the long game, & in the end planned to…

I don’t think so…Charles started the interaction by telling him “Good luck” and then explained that it was a curse in the theater. Ben clearly didn’t know that. (He also didn’t get it a few moments earlier when someone told him to “Break a leg.”) Plus Charles says they have 2.5 hours to get through (implying the time…

Exactly - didn’t Cinda interview Becky’s dad and the mayor during the investigation? And any person in town who knew Becky? That’s how true crime podcasts work.  Wouldn’t Poppy have been present at those interviews? Is it really possible for her to have faded into the background just because she’s holding a…

I don’t want to explain away obvious plot holes, but it could be she was trailing Bunny for a while trying to get the story started on the painting and figured out the passageways from Bunny’s private elevator. Or from doing research on Bunny’s family that built the Arconia. It’s weird that they couldn’t just toss in…

I totally think that was script read and not an actual conversation. I mentioned below I thought they were doing a reprise of “City of Angels” which is a great musical about a writer who’s book is getting made into a move and he and his hero are obviously different sides of a coin and end up having a showdown. It’s…

I thought of this too but Cinda’s podcast was really taking off & I presume Becky’s photos were all over town and the internet. That’s why it’s hard to believe no one, not even Cinda or any of her hometown locals, recognized her, let alone any people she was close to.

I love this theory. 

Nope, she just casually slips into a conversation with Kreps in a flashback. As if she was on a scouting mission or something & discovered it? Did not make much sense sadly. 

I can get behind that theory. As they were talking, my first thought was, that doesn’t seem like Charles...

Semi-related...am I the only one who thought, when the curtain went up, that they were doing the stage version of Singin’ in the Rain?

The more I think about this the worse it gets, actually. Never mind hanging out in the bar — Poppy, in the present day at least, accompanies Cinda when she records people. The entirety of “All is Not OK...” would have made with Poppy in tow. Cinda never interviewed anybody who knew Becky, the subject of the podcast?…

I agree entirely, it’s not what I return to the show for.

I had the same thought. Or Charles is Ben's, God forbid, understudy.

It’s one of the awful truths of being a female human: If she's not really really pretty, built like a sex symbol, or so ugly people can’t look away, a girl doesn’t really get seen. I have no problem believing that no one recognized Becky in Poppy as plain drab Becky probably never registered much visual attention…

So did I miss the explanation of *how* Poppy knew about the Arconia's secret passages? 

I really enjoyed this episode and most of the season. I think I like the atmosphere of the show and relationships between the main 3 characters enough to overcome any plot shortcomings because some negative points others are making seem very trivial to me. For example, I don’t really care what happened to Amy…

My favorite preliminary theory I’ve heard about Season 3 is that that little convo between Charles and Rudd behind the curtain was play dialogue they were nailing down.

I feel like the show wants me to believe that bangs and glasses are vastly more transformative than they are.

To be fair, the Jenningses disguises were rarely if ever meant to fool people who already knew them. They were used so that their marks and witnesses would not be able to give useful descriptions. What Poppy pulled off was the equivalent of Philip faking his own murder and then showing up at the travel agency as the…

I’m pretty sure Charles said “Squid Games” and the line was all the more magical for it.
