The creators of ‘The Idol’ attempted to pull a big switcheroo in episode five. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t seem like anyone was convinced.
, though, the public seems to eat the story up. Six weeks later, Chaim, Nikki, and Andrew recap all the happenings from the time we missed as they stand in SoFi Stadium, awaiting the opening night of Jocelyn’s tour. The tickets sold out and she dropped three hit singles . Tedros, meanwhile, lost his club and has the IRS breathing down his neck. Still, he shows up at the stadium where a guest pass is waiting for him.
I had to rewatch the final minutes of “Jocelyn Forever” a few times to understand what just happened. Did Jocelyn fall under Tedros’s spell again? Did she crave his abuse? I truly couldn’t untangle the web weaved in those last scenes to determine what the writers were attempting to say about these characters. Finally, as a last resort, I watched the “Crafting the Finale” segment to allow those behind the show to explain their vision to me. And boy, were my initial takeaways far off.
Basically, they’re attempting to paint Jocelyn as a mastermind who used Tedros as a “conduit for creative unlocking,” as Levinson says. Now, don’t get me wrong, I do like the idea of that.when Jocelyn exhibited some control over Tedros, suggesting the emergence of what could have been an interesting, egalitarian dynamic. But it’s hard to look back at the last five episodes and see that Jocelyn was in control the whole time, and it doesn’t explain to me why she’d go back to him in the end.
