Well, we reached the end of the second season of The Afterparty and I hit the beam in my deductions. I got the reason and a half right for Edgar’s (Zach Woods) murder, but I scratched the culprit. Let’s go to the last recap?

So, after listening to Isabel (Elizabeth Perkins), the police arrive at the party to arrest Grace (Poppy Liu), the only one who has the motive, access, and time to kill her husband, although every story takes the burden of blame off her. It’s like someone says in the episode and helps me: nobody liked or cared about Edgar, something to be very sorry for! Also, everyone was involved in some way, Hannah (Anna Konkle) was in love with Grace (and reciprocated), Sebastian (Jack Whitehall) with Isabel, Travis (Paul Walter Hauser) still obsessed with Grace… on the bride’s family side there was also tension: Zoe (Zoe Chao) was against the marriage, Vivian (Vivian Wun), Feng (Ken Jeong) and Ulysses (John Cho) were in a love triangle… only Aniq (Sam Richardson) and Danner (Tiffany Haddish) had the distance to assess who killed Edgar. In moments when nobody seemed to have done it, we discovered the reason: because it was an “accident”. Something that was somewhat clear from an early age (and that I always defended as a thesis).

The ‘outsider’ Uncle Ulysses was to blame, somewhat bizarre if he was indeed concerned about the possible daughter-niece, Grace, who was taking the blame. Ulysses was still in love with Vivian and saw Feng as an obstacle, trying now to get him out of the way. Feng accidentally switches glasses with Edgar and it is the groom who drinks the poisoned whiskey.

I bet the murder really was an error in victim or dose, and that Feng was directly connected, with Ulysses at the top of my list for quite some time. But I fell for his dramatic narrative, mea culpa!

The conclusion of The Afterparty was a tad lukewarm, without the same energy as the debut, but it was still one of the best content of the year. There isn’t a third time announced, but now that Danner is a director in Hollywood, there are more potential victims at parties, don’t you agree?
