People who watched Based On A True Story Season 2 Episode 3 didn’t get any answers. Ava was getting closer to finding out what was going on with a new string of murders. She thought a copycat killer was acting like famous serial killers, but what she found out cost her a lot: someone was watching her. Before Episode 3, the basement window shut. This made people wonder: Is Ava getting closer to the truth, or is the killer closing in on her?
Based On A True Story Season 2 Episode 4, “Y’all Ready for This,” keeps the tension high as Ava takes matters into her own hands and risks everything to find the killer.
Ava Goes Viral with “Murder Bunny”
At the start of the episode, Ava (Kaley Cuoco), who is in her basement, is looking at her murder board with more and more concern. As she puts the patterns together, she records a video to show everyone what she has found. But Ava doesn’t want anyone to know who she is. She makes an online persona called Murder Bunny by using a bunny filter.
In her video, Ava is sure that the next victim will work in medicine. She bases this guess on her theory that the killer acts like a different serial killer in each crime. She posts the video without giving her name because she wants the killer to see it and stop the next murder.
A Twist on the Murder Scene from Hollywood
The story moves to a movie set where America’s Doctor: The Anthony Fauci Story, a biopic about Dr. Fauci, is being shot. In a short scene that is both funny and creepy, Jared Leto, who plays the lead role, is introduced. Soon after, the actor’s body is found in his trailer, brutally stabbed. The chaos on set is a reflection of how shocked and horrified the audience is. The stakes have been raised even more since Ava’s prediction about a medical link came true.
Ava’s obsession grows stronger.
Back at home, Ava is proud of how accurate she was, but Nathan (Chris Messina) is not happy about how obsessed she is becoming. Nathan tells Ava that getting involved can be dangerous, but Ava is sure she’s on to something. In the meantime, Nathan’s side story from Episode 3—his quest to get back to the top of tennis—is still going on, but it’s not the main focus of the story.
After a while, Ava checks her “Murder Bunny” account and is shocked to see that she is engaged. A lot of theories, questions, and even threats are left in the comments. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Bunny” is a message that is hard to understand.
Matt’s Secretive Behavior
At the same time, Matt (Tom Bateman) keeps acting strangely. Even though he gave an alibi in Episode 3, Ava is still not convinced. She talks to Tory (Liana Liberato), who stands up for Matt and says Ava is being paranoid. When Tory finds out about Ava’s “Murder Bunny” stunt, the argument gets worse. She tells Ava to calm down before she ends more lives.
On the other hand, Ava’s determination only grows. She finds out more about Matt’s activities by watching him on the nanny cam she set up in Tory’s apartment. But what she finds isn’t murder; Matt is meeting with an unknown person. Who is this new person in the game?
Nathan’s Risky Bet Pays Off
When Nathan tells Ava that he spent their savings to win a match against tennis legend Danny Merrick, his story ties in with hers in a subtle way. Nathan thinks this match is his chance to make things right with Ava, even though she is mad at him. The subplot makes their relationship even more tense and shows how each person is looking for their own kind of approval.
A Terrifying Meeting
The danger grows as Ava’s investigation goes deeper. She sees a shadowy figure outside the window while watching video from a hidden camera in her basement. As she runs upstairs to check the locks, she finds that the figure is already inside.
Ava hides in the pantry while the intruder walks around the kitchen, which is a very scary scene. As the intruder is about to be caught, the sound of Nathan’s car pulling into the driveway scares her away.
The Copycat Killer’s Pattern Unfolds
Ava’s meeting with the Lipinski sisters, who are just characters in her mind, changes the course of her investigation. They both think that the killer is not only acting like famous killers, but is also picking victims who have something to do with Ava’s life. The murder of Jared Leto was just a distraction; the real link is in Ava’s viral video. The killer told her that they were watching her.
What to Do Next
At the end of the episode, Ava is getting ready for her next “Murder Bunny” show. This time, she’s ready to name the killer by name. She hits record, but right then her phone rings with a scary message: “Stop now, or your family’s next.”
Ava is scared but not deterred, which sets the stage for an explosive continuation. The suspense in Episode 3 is built on in Episode 4, which mixes humor and tension to make a thrilling story. As Ava gets closer to the truth, the stakes for her, her family, and the unknown person in the shadows could not be higher.
