What happened in Poker Face season 2 episode 4

Episode 4, "Exit Interview," featured Charlie investigating a fatality in a high-tech company. What began as an apparent suicide increasingly resembled a high-level cover-up with data manipulation, corporate ethics, and secret whistleblower proof.

The episode used flashbacks and various angles to generate tension, as Charlie's developing detective abilities were matched by her continued efforts at remaining undercover.

What to expect from this episode

Episode 5, "Hometown Hero," then shifts to a small town where Charlie continues to uncover secrets about a town hero. There is not much official plot unveiled, but the show will most probably stick to its known format—uncovering a crime, peeling away layers of characters' motivations, and heightening tension with shocking moments.

Social subtext, guest stars, and tightly self-contained case will be afforded their turn, striking a balance between the stand-alone story and character growth.

Episode structure and format

Season 2 begins on a case-of-the-week format, each new installment with a fresh mystery for Charlie to crack. While largely episodic, some undercurrents later converge to relate to her overall direction and obstacle creation.
