So Penny Nickelpenny is absolutely iconique and I can totally see her donning a fake mustache in true Lauren-Lopez-in-a-Shipwrecked-show fashion before this is all over.

Rumor Has It
A week late and a dollar short (but plus a Penny... sorry, couldn't resist) but here we are. Spoilers under the cut for Episode 4 of The Case of the Greater Gatsby!
God, this episode made me laugh. Banger after banger from the Persauds. The line about Fig's family being bad at math TOOK ME OUT like I was Cliff Calloway and the writing was his next hit movie.
Speaking of: CLIFF! <3 I've been so looking forward to seeing him and he did not disappoint! The continuation of the gag of him rehearsing threatening play lines is hilarious, as well as thematically on point for a story about Hollywood backstabbing and intrigue. As much as I hate my boy getting threatened, I'm relieved that he seems completely innocent in the case of the malicious hate-mail. But then why did Willie say he'd been acting down recently? He only just received the threatening message the day before, so it couldn't be about that. Is he just pining after his contractor? Stressed about having to manage an estate with 48 bathrooms? And just how does all this tie into F. Scott's murder? Willie and Cliff being targeted suggests that their foe is all about stopping The Grapes of Wrath, but what would that have to do with the larger story? Or are we being misled by the narrative? Is Cliff secretly signed on to play Nick in a still-happening Greater Gatsby? If so, by trying to silence Willie, who can't keep a secret to save her life, and then get Cliff to drop out of the cast, whoever killed Fitzy could be trying to ensure that his final project is buried with him.
The idea of creating one character who does basically everything on the film set is genius. It's very funny, and keeps the character count down and affordable for a small indie company. But on a purely narrative level, what secrets has Penny learned from being everywhere and everyone on the lot? (Also, just waiting for someone to make a "Penny for your thoughts" joke with her.)
Jumping back to the first part of the episode, I agree with Ford that Sheilah was very hard to read. She does seem a little too cavalier about the affair, especially since she then turns around and points the finger right at Vivian. And her theory doesn't even make sense. How is Vivian drumming up dollars from this case? If anything, she's losing money by hiring them. If she wanted the notoriety of being a murdered man's lover, she could have just gone to someone less likely to discover her guilt, like Dash. Unless she didn't trust him to find out that the death wasn't a heart attack (totally fair. He would not have.) But there are other P.I.s... Fitzy's affair with Vivian aside, Sheilah does have plenty of other motives for the murder. Who knows what damage his drunken ramblings could have done. And do we know where Sheilah was during the murder? Citizen Jasper says Fitzy came home around midnight but never mentions seeing her return...
What exactly are Fig's "skeletons"? It's hard to imagine anything particularly upsetting, but then again Shipwrecked loves to hit us with dark and tragic backstories that turn out to be all-too important to the main plot. I also like how they're setting up a Poe-esque arc for Ford to finally start letting Fig in and considering her a real friend.
Another fun episode! Besides Buster Keaton, whom I do not believe is set to appear in this podcast(?), we've now run into everyone from the original crew but Roger. Looking forward to his appearance!

Suspect: 5'0"; vacillates between withering stare and general look of crazed disassociation; surprisingly frightening for someone of her stature
