Based On A True Story Season 2 Episode 6 Recap
The History of a Killer and Present Turmoil
The show starts with a scary flashback of Matt killing someone as a child, which seems to be his first murder. His stepmother is mean to him and doesn’t seem to care about his emotional pain, which pushes him over the edge. This scary scene not only shows how Matt thinks, but it also explains what sets him off: attractive women who don’t care about him and feeling like you’re not seen.
At the moment, Matt is lying in bed with Tory, thinking about what he did and whether he can blame his murderous urges on his “medication.” Tory, who is always looking for the easiest way out, suggests that they get married right away. This would protect her from being sued and protect them both from the law. This is a big plan that shows how far she is ready to go for Matt.
Nathan and Ava chase Olivia across LA
At the same time, Ava is very angry with Nathan because he got arrested for fighting with Danny Merrick in public. She helps him out, and then they turn their attention to Olivia, who is still hard to find. They go to the house they think she lives in but find it empty. Olivia, a former cruise ship worker who could disappear at any time, is actually “Detective Drew,” according to a conversation she had with her landlord.
Their search takes them to Anchor & Spindrift, a sea-themed bar in town where Olivia used to hang out often. The bartender tells Nathan the truth because he knows him as the famous “Tennis Tantrum Guy.” Olivia often went home with police officers. One of them was the real Drew Stephens. This link explains how she got to secret Westside Ripper case files. When Ava and Nathan try to talk to Drew, things go badly when he threatens them with his right to self-defense. They barely get out of his house, but the experience proves Olivia’s close ties to the police.
Tory’s Plans for the Wedding and Matt’s Secrets
As Ava and Nathan look for Olivia, Tory is busy getting their backyard ready for her last-minute wedding. When she asks Matt about inviting family, his rude answer makes her think he is hiding something deeper from her. He says he’s going to run an errand, but it’s clear that he’s up to something much worse.
Matt puts on his killer clothes and goes to Drew’s house. Matt sneaks up on Drew as he is frantically putting cash into a bag and kills him in a horrible and planned way. The act seems to bring back Matt’s desire to kill, making people wonder how long he can control his darker urges.
Coming up on Olivia
Luke Woodsen’s name is on a receipt Olivia used, which is the last person Ava and Nathan need to find. When they get to his house, Stephanie is there, and she tells them that Olivia was her babysitter. Stephanie shows Olivia leaving in her car on surveillance video, and Olivia’s lies are found out. Olivia’s web of lies falls apart as Ava and Nathan put together more of the puzzle. This shows how desperate she is and how she is linked to the Westside Ripper case.
The Wedding and a Shocking Reunion
Back at the Bartletts’ house, the wedding plans are well under way. Even though Ava is mad at Tory at first, she gives her a fake family pearl necklace as a way to show her support. Olivia shows up at their door and breaks up what seemed like a peaceful moment.
Nathan lets Olivia in even though he doesn’t know who she is. Olivia admits right away that she’s not a detective, but she says her only job is to catch the Westside Ripper. Ava and Tory are shocked when she says that Matt is the real killer. Olivia is adamant that she is not the copycat killer. She says this by pointing out that the copycat is right-handed, while Olivia is left-handed.
Matt walks into the room just as things are getting tense. He is shocked by Olivia’s response, and it turns out that Olivia is Matt’s ex-wife.
