The Good Pod

Elsbeth Season 3 Episode 15 Otherwise Enraged has everything we love about this show - a murder most relatable, a pot that tells all its secrets, and Elsbeth doing her best cartoon character impression through a crime scene. When Rachel, a woman who has given everything to her friends and gotten very little in return, finds herself alone at her own inheritance celebration party, things take a very dark turn. Guest star Beanie Feldstein brings real depth to a character you will feel complicated about rooting against. Meanwhile Alec makes his big public apology, Wagner gets squeezed between his daughter and a detective, and Elsbeth drops a Kaya mention that hits harder than it should. Marissa takes over narration duties this week and relates to Rachel perhaps a little more than is comfortable. It's one of the richer episodes of the season - murder, mismatched Le Creuset lids, and a Cybertruck that tells the whole story.
