This week, Charlie, still under pursuit by the five families, befriends Delia Kazinksy (Cynthia Erivo) while working at a fruit picking farm. When Delia’s mother, Norma (Jasmine Guy), dies she returns to the family home along with her sisters Amber (Cynthia Erivo), Bebe (Cynthia Erivo) and Cece (Cynthia Erivo), but they are all shocked to learn about the existence of a fifth sister, Felicity Price (Cynthia Erivo) to whom lawyer Paul Fletcher (Jin Ha) reveals Norma has left her entire estate, most of which was accumulated by the sisters as child TV stars.
When Amber kills Felicity to assume her identity and claim the fortune, she hits a snag when the corpse is shown to have a missing leg. Staging an accident with a train, Amber looks to have pulled off the heist, but Charlie is on the case and she can tell something isn’t quite right about the new addition to the brood.
This episode was directed by creator Rian Johnson. The writing credit goes to Laura Deeley, the first of her two scripts for season 2.
