In the engrossing murder mystery’s first season full of engrossing murder mysteries, Poker Face hasn’t shied away from any serious adult subjects. From full-frontal male nudity and threesomes to (literally) head-splitting murders, the show has proven its willingness to dip into gross, sexual, and frightening material. In fact, part of what makes the show so alluring is this dark—yet—hilarious tone.
But a certain risqué aspect of its finale, which premiered Thursday on Peacock, feels a little different—perhaps more lighthearted than the show’s previous adult material. Yes, this is in reference to that purple plastic ring shaped like a penis that rears its head in the final episode. The one that glows in black light and, shockingly, helps solve the final murder of Season 1.
Spoilers ahead for the finale of Poker Face, “The Hook.”
