A brief recap of Poker Face season 2 episode 4
The previous episode saw Charlie Cale's first stop after she's finally free from the mob. With no one trying to kill her at every turn, she sets off to Florida. She's working at a commune with alligator conservationalists, who roped her into saving an internet-famous alligator named Daisy, owned by a cop named Gator Joe.
Fran LaMont, a conventionally good cop, is jealous of Gator Joe for winning the Officer of the Year Award seven times in a row. She hatches a plan to embarrass him by adding animal laxative to his drink, but she mixed up the dose. Fran accidentally gave Gator Joe a fatal dose of laxative, ending in his death. To cover her tracks, she freed Daisy, plied her with meth, and had her eat her handler.
With Daisy having tasted human blood, the other cops wanted to kill her. Charlie comes to Daisy's rescue, roping Fran into helping her save the alligator. However, Fran tried to kill Daisy too, so Charlie comes out to stop her. Using her lie-detecting skills, she maneuvered Fran into admitting to killing Gator Joe and using Daisy as a cover-up.
Poker Face season 2 episode 4 saw Fran have an epiphany. She admitted her crime to Charlie. She also admitted it to her boss, but he refused to turn her in to the authorities because she's a good cop. They will go along with the story that Daisy ate Gator Joe, but Fran decided to quit her job. She turned her life around and decided to volunteer at the commune/alligator sanctuary.
What to expect in Poker Face season 2 episode 5
After the alligator rescue mission and another murder case in the previous episode, there's another murder mystery that awaits Charlie Cale in her next stop.
