Frankly, it seems unbelievable that anyone could believe the story, but in the context of “The Idol,” no matter how much you doubt Tedros, how much Tedros is against Tedros. Everyone is somehow tempted by Tedros, even if they act violently. This is the most baffling aspect of the series.and GQ interviewTesfaye explained that Tedros was a “fool” and this was a painfully obvious fact to any viewer. Nonetheless, this “fool” is clearly very charming and can attack people in public while everyone shrugs and chalks down his unconventional ways. The only character who seems untouched by all of this is Leia, Jocelyn’s best friend and assistant. Leia is the only voice of reason and is eventually detonated with a tequila-filled squirt gun.

She still wants to deal with the situation, but she’s left it alone for now.
But that’s nothing compared to how Xander turned around in the last hour. In one of his more messily constructed plots, Tedros listens to Xander singing in the shower and appears like a poltergeist. What begins as an interrogation about why Xander stopped singing professionally eventually turns into a torture session in which Jocelyn participates almost gleefully.
The outlines of Jocelyn and Xander’s relationship are vague. Both were child actors. Xander lived with Jocelyn and his mother and stood by while the abuse took place, but Jocelyn’s mother also accused Zander and forced him to sign a contract stating that he would no longer sing. have a nature. If this were a more nuanced show, there might be some resentment that could clearly be worth looking into, but the situation ends with Xander being tied up and being brutally shocked with a collar around his neck. increase.
Nonetheless, by the end of the episode, he appears to be following Tedros’ orders, orchestrating a situation where he humiliates Jocelyn’s superhero actor ex-boyfriend, Rob (Karl Glusman), and that she Invited her to have sex as an act of revenge.
