The blackout in the city leads to Charles (Steve Martin), Mabel (Selena Gomez), and Oliver (Martin Short) racing back to the building to save Lucy (Zoe Margaret Colletti) from the killer, but it’s really the side characters that are given the bulk of the time in “Hello, Darkness” as Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton) makes a new connection, Nina (Christine Ko) spends time with Lester (Teddy Coluca), and the podcast’s uber-fan (Daniel Oreskes) gets involved.

Along with offering glimpses of Mabel’s (Selena Gomez) relationship with her father, “Flipping the Pieces” unexpectedly pairs the youngest podcaster with Theo Dimas (James Caverly) who takes her in after the subway stabbing. With only a single clue to go on, the pair hit Coney Island searching for the identity of glitter guy.

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).
