Sherry Cola Used To Hide Her Mom's Cooking. Now, It's Her Love Language.
Sherry Cola is beaming. But we're not at some glitzy Hollywood party — it's 9 a.m. at an old strip mall in San Gabriel Valley and she's giving me a tour of her family's beloved order-at-the-counter restaurant. She points out each dish with pride: curry chicken, crispy pork chop, spicy bamboo shoots, wok-fried peanuts, tofu skin meatballs, the list goes on. 'Every order comes with a milk tea and seaweed soup, on the house,' she adds with a smile. Cola said she used to work the counter after school, sometimes making the milk tea for the customers. But it wasn't always like this — the food, yes, but not the pride. 'I remember bringing dumplings with extra, extra chives [to school] and feeling embarrassed they smelled,' she says. 'Embarrassed that my parents had an accent. I'm ashamed I was ashamed. It was a testament to how hard they worked despite not knowing the language. They made something from nothing — and that is the American dream. Now, I get to carry on that legacy.' These days, Sherry isn't behind the counter as often as she was in high school — and for good reason. She's busy filming the next season of Apple TV+'s Shrinking, Netflix's Nobody Wants This, and starring alongside Keanu Reeves in Good Fortune. But she still finds ways to show love for her roots — like bringing her mom as her date to red carpet premieres, including the recent Bride Hard premiere. In this episode of Fam Style, Sherry and I sit down over plates of nostalgic Shanghainese comfort food to talk about family, cultural identity, coming out — and why the food she once hid is now her greatest source of pride. Fam Style spotlights Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) changemakers across entertainment, food, art, and culture. Over shared meals at AAPI-owned restaurants, we sit down with creators, artists, and innovators to talk about identity, ambition, community, and the stories that shape us. Through intimate conversations and the language of food, we highlight the nuance, joy, and resilience within the AAPI experience — one dish at a time.

Sherry Cola Adds Flavor To Captain Morgan And M3gan 2.0's Collab
Sherry Cola for Captain Morgan x M3gan 2.0 Actress Sherry Cola believes she manifested her recent collaboration with popular rum brand Captain Morgan when she first decided on her stage name back in 2012. 'Sherry Cola' was initially created for her Yelp username, but she eventually used the name for her stand-up, then radio work, and now as an actor. 'This is my identity, and it really is a reflection of fun and lightness and just a good time,' Cola says over Zoom. 'So, rum and Cola – it's a match made in heaven' Cola has become the spokesperson for Captain Morgan's newest collaboration with the horror film, M3gan 2.0. Cola can be seen in the marketing for 'Captain M3gan's' newest cocktail courier. 'Sherry Cola was the perfect choice to help bring this bold collaboration to life,' said Anne Nosko, Vice President at Captain Morgan. 'Her last name says it all—she's the perfect counterpart to Captain and just like Captain & Cola, she's the perfect mix of bold and refreshing. Her fearless energy and cultural relevance mirror the spirit of both M3GAN and Captain Morgan, making her the ultimate co-conspirator to serve up unforgettable summer fun, epic cocktails, and a totally unmissable moment for fans.' Cola describes her partnership with Captain Morgan like reaching the 'American dream.' The rum company is a household name, one that her father is most excited for her to team up with. 'My dad's dream is to literally have an alcohol-like travel show with me,' says Cola. 'My dad loves to drink. We all love to have a good time. It's in the DNA. My mom sent me a picture of the Captain M3gan bottle that she bought. This is the American dream. I'm an immigrant from Shanghai. I'm incredibly fulfilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate on a project like this. My parents are proud in a different way. I just keep finding these new ways to make my parents proud. They're thrilled about this collaboration.' Below, Cola talks about the collaboration, her feelings about M3gan and horror films, and how the ads captured the bisexual lighting perfectly. SIRIKUL: You're having a crazy month: You just hosted the LGBTQ+ Critics Choice Celebration, pitched at the Dodgers Pride Night, spoke at the HER Conference in NY, and celebrated the premiere of your new film BRIDE HARD. Now you have this collaboration with Captain Morgan. How are you feeling? COLA: I feel deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Captain Morgan and M3gan 2.0, as it's all about being bold and iconic, and using your voice to prove people wrong. There are a lot of themes here about just having a good time with the flavor and the unexpected twists. It's all about celebrating. There are so many victories that I have to remind myself to take in. So yeah, Captain Morgan is the best way to do it. Captain Morgan is a household name, and in association with M3gan 2.0, it's a glow up! Take life by the tits! M3 This is my identity, and it really is a reflection of fun and lightness and just a good time. So, rum and Cola – it's a match made in heaven. M3gan is a symbol of girl power, expressing what you want, and surprising people. That's what this collaboration is all about: just being confident and being comfortable in your own skin. So, run and cola – and a little bit of cherry – with a glittery top and a pink rim, it's just perfect. It's a reminder that everything can be an occasion. SIRIKUL: How did this collaboration between you and Captain Morgan come about? COLA: [laughs] I will send you the screenshots of the original emails. No, but I'm very lucky that Captain Morgan hit me up with this concept of Rum and Cola, and also with M3gan 2.0 being involved. I'm like, 'Say less.' I'm obsessed with M3gan. She embodies the chaotic energy that I definitely have. You know my work, I am just like M3gan. We are truly a dream duo, and with Captain Morgan in the mix, it's just a no-brainer. They thought of me for this, and I couldn't be more grateful. SIRIKUL: Captain Morgan has had numerous collaborations, including partnerships with clothing brands, organizations, and the Super Bowl. What made M3gan 2.0 the partnership that you were like, 'I want in on this one'? COLA: Listen, M3gan 2.0 is kick-ass. You know what I'm saying. It really leaves people's jaws on the floor, and that's what I do in my work and my comedy. I remember watching Margaret Cho [growing up]. Everything that came out of her mouth broke stereotypes and opened people's minds. This is all about feeling liberated about who you are. Women are multi-dimensional, and we can be loud and say the darnedest things. I want that to be okay, and that's exactly what M3gan represents. As a person who's a fan of going to the movie theater and having a good time, especially with M3gan 2.0, I can't wait to go on opening weekend and have a Captain M3gan cocktail in my hand to celebrate. I'm truly a fan first when it comes to cinema, laughing, and screaming in a movie theater. That's exactly what M3gan 2.0 delivers. In the spirit of Captain Morgan, this is an unexpected twist on a classic, which I am all about. It's rum and cola, but a remix. 'This is the part where you run' is an iconic line that M3gan says, and we're making it, 'This is the part where you rum.' It just makes so much sense, especially with the movie out this Friday. I'm here for it. That was really good wordplay. Word play is my love language. There's also the concept of 'glowing up,' as seen in this Captain Morgan bottle. It glows in the dark. We all need a little glow in the dark right now. It's just a reminder and a wink that we have each other. Let's celebrate and have a good time. It's really special. It's pink, like I said: Girl Power is a big theme here. Sherry Cola for Captain Morgan x M3gan 2.0 SIRIKUL: They call this collaboration the 'ultimate chaotic collab.' How do you define chaotic? COLA: Chaos is a good thing. Chaos is spicy. It's sassy. It's surprising. It's everything in between. It's unexpected. Chaos is having a conversation that perhaps people are afraid to have. Chaos is speaking up when we're expected to be silent. Chaos is my daily motivation. That is my mantra. Let's kick some ass. Let's prove people wrong. Let's do something that no one is expecting. This collab is unexpected, but it makes sense. M3gan is definitely the ultimate chaotic girly. For me to be even in the same room, just representing in that way, is very refreshing. SIRIKUL: You're best known for your work in comedies. M3gan 2.0 is a comedic horror film. Is this something you'd like to try? Can you handle horror films in general? COLA: Absolutely. Another theme here is that you can't put us in a box – Captain Morgan, M3gan 2.0, and Sherry Cola. We will continue to keep you on your toes. Genres are bending, and it's really beautiful to see. You're right. This film has comedy. It has a lot of grounded, dramatic moments, and it has horror. It has this campy goriness that we love to see on the big screen. M3gan follows the theme that women are multi-dimensional. Society cannot define us. We want to reclaim our identity and show you what we can do. We can be messy. We can be smart. We can save the day. SIRIKUL: Since the collaboration is to team up with M3gan and Captain Morgan, how do you think you'd fare in a battle between you and M3gan? COLA: M3gan is more equipped with the technology to beat me in a war. M3gan can definitely kick my ass. I'm gonna be real. I need to be humbled. But who knows? I'm pretty limber. You saw me pitch at the Dodger game. I'm an athlete. I'll surprise you with a leg kick. I'll surprise you with a little chokehold. If M3gan and I were to get into a fight, I think we would actually end in a truce and team up. It would be us against the world. That's what will end up happening. She'll be my bestie. I'll add her to my 'Close Friends' on Instagram. SIRIKUL: That's just something I noticed. Okay, so the collaboration colors… did you see it was the bisexual lighting colors? COLA: [laughs] Thank you for noticing that. I love that we can find bisexuality in anything. But listen, it's a subtle nod, as it's a Sherry Cola collaboration that speaks for itself. I love what we filmed. It's so cool the way the director did it. Everyone on the Captain Morgan side and the M3gan 2.0 side killed it. It all came together perfectly, with the glitching and the color switch. It's so impressive what they did. I love it. It's the bisexual lighting. That's so funny. Listen, it's Pride Month. Pride 365. Let's be real. I appreciated the bisexual lighting. SIRIKUL: You've been a spokesperson for many brands – now with Captain Morgan. Are there other collaborations that you'd be interested in? COLA: Everything that [beverage company] Diageo does – Captain Morgan, Don Julio, etc. I love to have a good time. I'm looking forward to what is a collaboration of longevity with the company in front of me. I genuinely feel very lucky. I don't take this for granted. It's really cool. In this career of being an entertainer, I get to do these things. How freaking cool to just amplify my voice differently through new friendships and ways to celebrate the summer. It's just such a good time. I'm very grateful for Captain Morgan. I hope we're in touch forever. SIRIKUL: What is your favorite Rum drink? COLA: There are a lot of recipes that we've introduced. I do love a pineapple moment – and cola for life. I love carbonation. That's what this collaboration is all about – being bubbly and making you feel tickled. That's the cocktail we've created with the limited edition cocktail kit. It brings people together and reminds us about joy and being kick-ass. Everything will be okay in a lot of ways. With the pink label and M3gan's high-voltage persona, we can do anything if we have this cocktail in our hands. It's just like three random yet intentional things coming together: Sherry Cola, M3gan 2.0, and Captain Morgan.

Joy and visibility take center stage at Critics Choice LGBTQ+ Cinema & TV celebration
Joy, pride and community were just some of the words that honorees of the Critics Choice Association's second annual Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema and Television called out at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles over the weekend. Actress and comedian Sherry Cola, who hosted the ceremony for the second time, told Gold Derby she was 'thrilled to be here.' More from GoldDerby Pickleball, punchlines, and personal growth: 'Hacks' stars Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs on their bond and what's next 'That feeling of having a first crush': How Zach Cherry and Merritt Wever made their 'Severance' marriage feel real Brandon Scott Jones on CBS' 'Ghosts': 'I enjoy playing characters that are desperate' 'This is a celebration of all of our victories this year and also a reminder of our resilience,' the Joy Ride star said. 'As a community, just making sure queerness is still on the screen at all times.' The event welcomed a variety of film and television stars who spanned multiple generations. Taking home the Career Achievement Award was film, TV and stand-up star Wanda Sykes, who told Gold Derby she was thrilled to see how LGBTQ+ visibility has grown in Hollywood. 'The number of people who are here tonight being honored, that just shows tremendous growth in our industry,' she said. 'This is just a beautiful thing to have, especially for Pride Month. So very excited to be here.' Shrinking star Michael Urie, who was honored with the Trailblazer Award, joked that the word 'trailblazer' made him 'feel a little bit old' but admitted he also gets it. 'When I was first on TV and when I came out, there weren't a lot of gay characters on TV and there weren't a lot of out gay actors, and there's a lot more now,' he said. 'So many that we can fill a whole night celebrating them. So I'm really proud.' 'There are still so many kids out there who are growing up in a family where they're the only one like them. They're the only queer person in their family,' Urie said. 'Television can still show, 'Hey, look, you'll find a chosen family out there.' In Shrinking, even though the show is mostly straight people, it is a show about chosen family. And that is something that is so important to the queer community.' Wanda Sykes Sasheer Zamata, who starred as queer witch Jennifer Kale on Disney+ series Agatha All Along and took home the Breakthrough Performance Award, said she was thrilled to play a superhero character who was also part of the LGBTQ+ community. 'I'm a superhero nerd myself, and so being able to provide a character and portray a character that is queer — and is also a layered character at that — feels really, really cool,' Zamata said. 'I am so thankful that there are so many people who can relate to these characters and relate to the story, and I just want to be able to tell more stories like that.' For Severance star Tramell Tillman, who was honored with the Supporting Performance Award, Drama Series, he told Gold Derby that he's been dreaming about these moments since childhood. 'I remember being 10 years old and making the decision that I wanted to be an actor and practicing my Oscar speech and my Emmy speech,' he said. 'And so the young Tramell is really, really excited.' He added that representing as an LGBTQ+ actor was an opportunity that he didn't want 'to squander or take for granted.' 'It's my hope that I'm giving justice to the community and representing well,' he said. Another first-time honoree, Rising Star Award winner Benito Skinner, who created and stars in Overcompensating, told Gold Derby that the awards attention 'feels very surreal' especially because he sat with the project for about five years. 'I've been at places and people will bring up the characters to me or something and I'm like, 'Oh f--k, it's out.' I keep forgetting,' he said. 'I feel so lucky and I'm just glad that people, I think, are excited about the show and are loving it and laughing and crying.' With his Prime Video series taking place in college, Skinner's advice for young people is that coming out should happen on their own timeline. 'I think that I judged myself for so long after I came out because I was like, 'Oh, I should have done it 20 years ago.' Like I missed out on so much of my life,' he said. 'But I think we all have our reasons, and take your time and find places where you feel safe. Find your community, and I think you'll find people that will allow you to feel comfortable to come out when it's the right time for you.' Yellowjackets star Liv Hewson said being honored by the LBGTQ+ community also felt 'surreal' but that they are 'grateful.' Having previously spoken out about gendered awards as a nonbinary actor, the other Rising Star Award recipient told Gold Derby that 'it's not lost on me that this is a position that I might not get many opportunities to be in at the moment. So I plan to make the most of it.' Comic icon Bruce Vilanch told Gold Derby he couldn't be happier to see the LGBTQ+ community growing. 'I think it's great that there's so much visibility,' he said, 'because I think that is how LGBT, WTF, LOL people get the rights that they deserve to get under the American system — by being visible.' Here's the complete list of Critics Choice Association Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema and Television Award recipients: Career Achievement Award: Wanda Sykes Groundbreaker Award: Niecy Nash-Betts (Grotesquerie) Trailblazer Award: Michael Urie (Shrinking) Industry Leadership Award: Howard Cohen and Eric d'Arbeloff, co-presidents of Roadside Attractions Comedy Award: Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) Vanguard Award: Nathan Lee Graham (Mid-Century Modern) Documentary Award: Harper Steele and Will Ferrell, along with director Josh Greenbaum (Will & Harper) Reality TV Award: The season 17 cast of RuPaul's Drag Race Ensemble Award: Bridget Everett, Jeff Hiller, Murray Hill, Mary Catherine Garrison & Tim Bagley (Somebody Somewhere) — Supporting Performance Award, Drama Series: Tramell Tillman (Severance) Supporting Performance Award, Comedy Series: Gideon Glick (Étoile) Breakthrough Performance Award: Megan Stalter (Hacks) Breakthrough Performance Award: Benito Skinner (Overcompensating) Rising Star Award: Sasheer Zamata (Agatha All Along) Rising Star Award: Liv Hewson (Yellowjackets) Best of GoldDerby Streamy Awards 2023: Everything to know about 13th annual event Click here to read the full article.

Meghan Thee Stallion and Jordan Chiles lead WORST dressed celebs on Gold House Gala red carpet 2025
Actors, filmmakers, musicians, activists and authors all graced the red carpet at the Gold House Gala in Los Angeles last night. The event - which is now in its fourth annual year - is held to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders who have made changes in American culture. Mindy Kaling, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were all among the stars who posed up a storm for the cameras ahead of the glitzy gathering. But many famous faces - including Megan Thee Stallion and Jordan Chiles - appeared to make a misstep with their sartorial choices this year. Here, FEMAIL has rounded up the worst dressed stars. Actor Daniel Dae Kim, 56, best known for his starring roles in Lost and Hawaii Five-0, donned a stark yellow jumpsuit embellished with black detailing before also bizarrely opting for sneakers to match American comedian Sherry Cola, 35, (left) and Canadian YouTube star Lilly Singh, 36, (right) both looked to be at risk of overheating with a combination of head coverings, jackets and elbow length gloves Poorna Jagannathan, 52, best known for her role in HBO drama miniseries The Night Of, caused quite a stir on the red carpet thanks to the imposing additions to her dress that resembled the shape and form of a padded blanket Stand-up comedian Atsuko Okatsuka, 36, missed the mark by styling a black-and-white polka dot patterned dress with a pair of neon orange tights and chunky platform ankle boots which failed to bring the look together

POKER FACE Recap: (S02E02) Last Looks
Poker Face Season 2 Episode 2, 'Last Looks,' is a delightfully deadly outing that maintains a steady clip until those final high-octane moments. Charlie is almost burned alive! Beatrix Hasp finds her! It's not looking good for our girl, but she's resourceful. Charlie Cale is like a cockroach — not even the apocalypse can kill her. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Poker Face episode, 'The Game Is a Foot' Poker Face, 'Last Looks' We open with a film cast and crew shooting a 1970s-era movie at a funeral home. In this particular scene, a young woman snaps photos of the older couple who own the establishment, catching them in the act of dabbling in under-the-table business. The wife and husband get into it, culminating in the latter bashing the former's head in with a fire poker. Blood splatters on the wall. The director orders them to reset the scene for another take. As the crew resets, Paige (Sherry Cola), one of said crew, asks a woman, Greta (Katie Holmes), if she's part of the shoot. Greta admits she's not, but they're using the funeral home her husband owns. Downstairs, Fred (Giancarlo Esposito) works dutifully on a corpse, preparing her for a service. Two PAs venture down into Fred's workspace to chat about the film, but Fred shoos them away. All That Remains Next, Fred heads upstairs to complain about the crew. He overhears incorrect terminology in the scene as the camera rolls for another take. They're not ashes; they're human remains, people. Fred makes the crew promise to leave his establishment better than they found it. After all, this shoot is disrupting business. RELATED: Poker Face Season 2: Our 6 Dream Guest Stars Fred pulls his wife aside to vent his frustrations. He reminds Greta that having the crew film in their funeral home was her idea. Greta's taken in by the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, though. She fires back that they're getting money out of this. Business has been slow, and this cash bump will certainly inject new life (hee-hee) into it. Outside, Fred runs into the Hoppenstammer family, who believe the service for the grandmother he fixed up is scheduled for that day. Fred apologizes profusely to Mr. and Mrs. Hoppenstammer (Fabian Alomar and Kathrine Narducci), explaining that he plans to host said service the following day. Greta was supposed to inform them of the rescheduling. Heading for Divorce Inside, Fred scolds Greta for her mistake. He asserts that this is his life's work — his family business. They can't afford to screw up. Greta reveals she wants a divorce. A crew member told her she could get work doing makeup in Miami. RELATED: Russian Doll Season 2 Thoughtfully Explores Motherhood and Trauma As for buying out her share of the funeral home, she has someone in mind who could scoop up the whole shebang and set up Fred for the rest of his life. Greta's tired of feeling trapped in a death house, and Fred must feel the same way. Fred pivots, suggesting they have a baby. That'll subvert the day-to-day formula for them. Greta's insistent on that divorce, though. She needs a fresh start. Greta refuses to continue talking things through. She leaves Fred with his thoughts. He asks a crew member when they're leaving. We learn they have a hard out at 7 am the following morning, when they'll break down the set and clean the funeral home. Life Imitates Art That night, Greta stumbles into the house, inebriated. She's still hellbent on leaving for Miami. While upstairs, she sends Fred a pic of her packed bags. We hear Greta singing 'Ring My Bell' to herself in the shower. Fred grabs her bags and moves them to where the film crew shot that scene. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Mabel Mora Greta searches for her bags upon getting out of the shower. When she finds them, though, Fred kills her by smacking her in the head with a fire poker. We see her blood splatter on the wall, but it's in the same spot as the fake blood. RIP, Miami Mama. Now, it's time for the cleanup. Fred uses a metal detector while searching her luggage. He disposes of her toothbrush. He cremates her body. Then, Fred puts some of Greta's remains in the urn for the film scene. The rest? He presses into a vinyl record: 'Sleepwalk' by Santo & Johnny. The following morning, the crew packs everything up. On Beach Time Then, we check in with Charlie (Natasha Lyonne), who's lounging on the beach. She regales a child with tales of her life, from experiencing peacefulness after not having heard from Beatrix Hasp or the five families in a few months to vaping in lieu of cigarettes. Charlie leaves to get batteries for her vape, making a beeline for Publix. RELATED: Read our Russian Doll recaps There, she runs into Tommy (Kevin Corrigan), who asks her if a local film crew can use her precious car for their 1970s-set movie. He'll pay her in cash. Once on set at Fred and Greta's funeral home, a crew member asks Charlie if she'd like to play the corpse in the coffin during the scene we saw at the beginning of the episode. It pays. I love it when Charlie winds up being in the opening of an episode or tangentially tied to a murder scene. POKER FACE — Season 2 Episode 2, 'Last Looks' — Pictured: (l-r) Sherry Cola, Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, Katie Holmes — (Photo by: Sarah Shatz/PEACOCK) Next, Charlie vapes in the casket during the take. The director asks for a reset as the power flickers off and on. Fred's probably fuming right about now. After this, Charlie meets Greta, who's chatting with other crew members about applying corpse makeup. Well, actually, it's paint. She expresses interest in moving to Miami to pursue a career as an on set makeup artist. One person vows to hook her up with work. The gang decides to go out for drinks after they wrap for the day. Sleepwalk Later, Charlie meets Fred, who tells her all about the specialty (and quite niche) products they offer the bereaved, from putting remains in vinyl records (poor Greta) to putting them in mugs and picture frames. Fred is nothing if not entrepreneurial. RELATED: The Best True Crime Shows on Netflix That night, the crew, along with Charlie, Greta and Tommy, have drinks on the beach. Greta lets loose. She vents about Fred and how controlling he is. He's already picked out their death song for the record she'll undoubtedly be pressed into: 'Sleepwalk.' We're familiar with the tune. Greta gives Tommy her number. At one point, she and Charlie are belting out their rendition of 'Ring My Bell.' Once Charlie pulls into the parking lot of the funeral home, Greta begs Charlie to whisk her away to Miami. They can leave together the next morning. Charlie promises to join her on this journey. Of course, we know what happens to Greta after this scene. She's Gone The next morning, Charlie waltzes into the funeral home. She asks Fred about Greta. Greta hasn't answered her calls or texts. An emotional Fred tells her that Greta left him. She's gone. Well, technically, he's not lying. He believes Greta left with the film crew, which part of her did. Not a lie. RELATED: Read our Only Murders in the Building recaps Charlie ventures outside, where she hears 'Sleepwalk.' Weird. She spies Fred dancing to it by himself in his office. She recalls what Greta told her about the tune. After this, Charlie returns for the funeral service for Granny Hoppenstammer. Charlie offers her condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Hoppenstammer while asking Fred again about Greta. Fred is visibly annoyed. He insists that Greta is with the film crew at their next shoot location. So, Charlie moseys on over there. She reunites with Tommy. Tommy hasn't heard from Greta, nor has Paige. They check with others on set, who convey the same thing. Tommy reveals Greta sent him a string of drunken texts the night before. However, she hasn't responded to his 'Good morning' text. Tommy offers to accompany Charlie back to the funeral home for some good ole-fashioned snooping. The Truth Fred hears their arrival, and we see he's playing with Greta's phone. He conceals it in his desk drawer. Tommy and Charlie search the building for clues as to what might have happened to Greta. Charlie doesn't believe she left of her own volition. Fred searches the viewing room, so Charlie hops into a coffin. She spies a light bulb above her with blood on it. She tries to grab it but slips and falls. Fred sees her. RELATED: Top 11 Peter Bogdanovich Films Charlie goes into interrogation mode. She asks Fred about the bloody light bulb. She tells him that she played a corpse the day before, and the crew used a white sheet over the bulbs to ensure they wouldn't get fake blood on them. Ergo, the blood on said bulb appeared after the crew wrapped and cleaned up. She's right. Suddenly, Tommy arrives, informing Charlie that Greta texted him back. He shows Charlie a photo of Greta in Miami. She traveled there overnight. After Tommy departs, Fred bursts into tears. Charlie comforts him and apologizes for wrongfully accusing him of murdering his wife. POKER FACE — Season 2 Episode 2, 'Last Looks' — Pictured: (l-r) Giancarlo Esposito, Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale — (Photo by: Sarah Shatz/PEACOCK) Ring My Bell After this, Charlie has tea with Fred. He reveals how far back this funeral home goes in his lineage. Also, he has family member remains in just about every object in his office, including the mug from which Charlie drinks. Yummy. RELATED: Movie Review: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Before Charlie leaves, she uses the restroom. There, she hears 'Ring My Bell' playing. It's Greta's ringtone. She follows it to Fred's desk drawer. Charlie pulls out Greta's phone and successfully unlocks it. She finds the photo Greta supposedly sent Tommy in Greta's gallery. It's from 2022. Uh-oh. Suddenly, Fred knocks Charlie unconscious. She wakes up in a wooden coffin. We're made to believe she was buried alive in the nearby cemetery, but Fred is about to cremate her. We see the coffin moving on the conveyor belt toward the flaming incinerator. Charlie bangs on the coffin, begging Fred to let her out. She vows to keep his secret. She won't tell a soul that he killed Greta. Burn It All Down Thankfully, Charlie rocks the coffin back and forth just enough so it falls off the conveyor belt. The coffin cracks open. Charlie scurries away as Fred chases her with a stabbing implement. RELATED: What's New on TV This Week (May 4 – 10) Mind you, the incinerator is still on full blast. Charlie chucks her vape into the flames, causing an explosion. We see jars of formaldehyde go boom due to the heat. The fire spreads throughout the funeral home. Charlie tries to help Fred escape. However, Fred is entranced by burning embers as they fall like snowflakes. He doesn't want to leave. Fred knows he's going to prison for murder, and this place is his life. He returns to his office, sitting at the desk while gazing at his father's portrait. Charlie escapes to her vehicle. Now without her vape, Charlie moves to light a cigarette. Suddenly, Beatrix (Rhea Perlman) appears behind Charlie. She presses a gun against Charlie's temple. I guess our girl couldn't remain hidden from the five families for long.
