The Afterparty Season 2 Episode 4 Hannah
Like the heroine of a twee indie film, Edgar’s adopted sister wanted to stop the wedding because of her own broken heart.
The new episode of The Afterparty follows the events leading up to Edgar’s murder from Hannah’s point of view. The episode is definitely Wes Anderson-coded and may be one of the more entertaining ones of the season. It’s possible Edgar died accidentally and was, in fact, never murdered, but we’ll see about that only at the end of the season. We left off with Travis claiming that Hannah was interested in breaking off the wedding, and that seems like a clear motive to make her the next suspect for Aniq and Danner. It looks like Zoe is keen on blaming Hannah, specifically to take the suspicion off of Grace, but is Hannah the killer? Let’s find out in episode 4 of The Afterparty.
What Happens In The Episode?
Aniq, Danner, and Zoe find their way to Hannah’s yurt, and she welcomes them in as if she’s the spider and they’re the flies. Zoe shows Hannah the “Devil’s trumpet,” the flower that was allegedly used to poison Edgar. Hannah doesn’t look terrified or suspicious, though; instead, she’s ready to tell her side of the tale in a very unique way. It’s like everyone wants to be a writer in this household! With some classical music playing in the background and what feels like a session of meditation, Hannah begins her story. In her early childhood, Hannah was different from everyone else. As an adopted child, she developed weird hobbies, but Edgar never othered her; instead, he joined her and played along. They were like weird siblings, joined by Sebastian more often than not. Although it was time for them to grow up, Edgar became obsessed with work rather than play, whereas Hannah got stuck in her little bubble all alone.
The day Hannah met Grace was a celebration of her adoption anniversary (not her birthday, as she clarifies). Edgar gives her the typewriter he bought from Grace’s shop and tells her that he brought her along because it’s almost as if the gift was from the both of them. Immediately, because of their similar tastes in antique typewriters and other vintage things, Grace and Hannah hit it off. Soon we understand that the time Grace was supposed to be spending with Edgar ended up being spent with Hannah because he was unavailable most of the time. On the day of the bachelorette, Hannah saw Grace and Zoe fighting. Grace confessed to Hannah that she didn’t know if she was mad that Zoe was right or otherwise. Grace told Hannah that she only wanted love. Then, when Hannah replied that Edgar didn’t deserve a girl as beautiful as Grace, Grace kissed Hannah (Danner’s reactions are gold, though!). Zoe interrupts the story then because she doesn’t believe Grace wouldn’t tell her about this. Upset, she leaves to find her sister while Aniq and Danner listen on. While Zoe is trying to talk to Grace, we see Sebastian getting their father to help him with a business deal. Considering his partner just died, Sebastian should be telling people about Edgar’s death rather than making deals.
