The Old Man – V

Although we’re given more flashbacks, including a crucial scene between younger Dan Chase (Bill Heck) and Abbey (Leem Lubany), and also a couple of short scenes of Morgan Bote (Joel Grey) continuing to work behind the scenes, the vast majority of the fifth episode of The Old Man involves two separate conversations of characters on the move. On one side we get the older Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) dealing with Zoe (Amy Brenneman) ultimatum and explaining the situation to her (mostly off-camera, so not to clue the audience into the full facts just yet). Now on-board with his mission, Zoe helps him out again proving herself worthy in the trust Dan has shown in her, although the true tests are yet to come.

Returning supporting characters play key roles in “The Tell” as Charles (Steve Martin) begins corresponding with Jan (Amy Ryan) who puts his suspicions on to Mabel’s (Selena Gomez) new friend Alice (Cara Delevingne) as the possible killer. Oliver (Martin Short) finds the timing of Alice’s arrival so close after Bunny’s (Jayne Houdyshell) murder suspicious, a theory he quite publicly during a party where he pulls out one his favorite games. Although he doesn’t get the confession he sought, there is obviously more going on with Alice than meets the eye as a more than capable liar with the ability to keep her cards close to the vest (or hide them in her purse).
