As a seasoned crime drama enthusiast with years of binge-watching under my belt, I must say that “No Good Deed” has certainly piqued my interest. The intricate web of secrets and lies unfolding within the Morgan family is reminiscent of some classic whodunits, but with a modern twist.
Indeed, the central mystery of the season appears to revolve around the events that transpired at the Morgan residence on the night Jacob met his demise. As No Good Deed gradually unravels the storyline in episode two, it seems plausible that the actual truth may be more intricate than the straightforward answer the show appears to suggest, doesn’t it?
In “Private Showing,” let’s discuss what happened on that fateful night. As you may recall, around the time of Jacob’s demise, a burglar was terrorizing homes in the neighborhood. This string of crimes made Lydia so uneasy that she insisted they keep a firearm at home for protection. However, Paul wasn’t on board with this plan and even had a heated argument about it, along with scolding his son for his behavior. I must clarify that my comments regarding the deceased are merely factual and not disrespectful in any way. As for the outcome of those disputes, well, you can probably guess. (And as for the “asshole” comment, let’s just say Paul wasn’t shy about expressing his feelings. It’s been three years, but some things never change!)
In the subsequent events, Paul encounters JD who is unable to deactivate his security alarm, revealing that their house was burglarized. The thief, who remains unidentified, made off with a significant amount of jewelry, including a $50,000 gold Rolex that belonged to JD, which Margo had purchased for him. Intriguingly, Paul rushes home and discovers a hidden room adjacent to Jacob’s room — quite the surprise for Greg the Realtor! Inside this secret space is a sack full of jewelry, including the Rolex mentioned by JD. A recollection emerges of Paul finding that same sack outside his house on the night of Jacob’s demise. It appears he had kept it all along.
In the realm of cinema, I recently found myself in a predicament reminiscent of a thriller plot twist – all thanks to an unexpected rendezvous with Mikey. And no, my acquiring the Rolex watch wasn’t part of some masterplan to retrieve the $80,000 owed by that individual. You see, Lydia, in her own resourceful way, had already resolved that financial quandary. The morning after Leslie’s curious property inspection, she broke the news: she had sold our only valuable asset, the piano, to an antique collector. It so happens, her piano tuner facilitated a deal for a cool $80,000. Quite the coincidence that I seemed to have slept through the entire piano-moving operation from my house! It’s high time we figure out what sleeping aid she’s using; I need a recommendation!
In a turn of events, Paul makes his way to the collector’s residence, where, despite his peculiar nature, the man recognizes why Paul has come and shrewdly asks for the money (the money he had paid the Morgans for the piano) instead of handing over the gun. Ray Romano delivers a captivating performance in this scene with lines such as “I’m just gonna cut to the chase: are you not going to give me my gun back?
Despite Mikey successfully disarming Paul and reminding him of his inexperience with firearms, it doesn’t mean he’s ready to forget about the past. On the contrary, a photograph of what appears to be a suitcase filled with clothing stained with blood from Jacob’s death night is found under Paul’s door. This suggests that Mikey has kept some evidence as a bargaining chip, threatening to blackmail Paul again unless he comes up with another $80,000 (he may not be the most imaginative when it comes to extortion). It seems keeping the Rolex wasn’t such a poor decision after all.
While Paul’s off having a particularly frustrating day, Lydia’s at home stewing in her grief. She’s so excited to tell him about the message from Jacob in the flickering light, and he just laughs at her. Well, first, he tries to do an impression of the lady in Poltergeist screaming “Carole Anne!” and then he laughs at her. He just doesn’t believe in any of that stuff, nor wants to entertain anything remotely “hopeful” when it comes to his son. Nope, he torpedoes that hopefulness right out of Lydia.
When real estate agent Greg invites Leslie and Sarah over for a personal tour, they naturally make their way to the enigmatic bedroom that has captured Leslie’s thoughts. Upon arrival, they discover Lydia on Jacob’s bed, gazing at the ceiling light. The women exchange some uncomfortable chit-chat between seller and potential buyers, and for a fleeting instant, Lydia feigns that her son is attending college elsewhere.
Later on, when Sarah encounters Lydia in the living room, Lydia opens up about her son’s location. They share a bond. When Sarah spoke of spotting her grandmother in ladybugs, it provided Lydia with the solace she evidently needed. It doesn’t require much for Sarah to disclose her own secret: She reveals to Lydia that she has undergone another round of IVF against Leslie’s wishes. Lydia’s counsel? “It’s crucial not to hide things from one another, even when the news is difficult.
It appears Sarah is sharing quite a bit with someone she barely knows, but what you might find fascinating is that her revelation about undergoing IVF isn’t even the most intriguing detail by the end of their conversation. Instead, it turns out that Leslie, who has been prying into Lydia’s life for several days now, is a prosecutor working for the district attorney. What makes this more concerning is that she is known for her tenacity in uncovering the truth. To add to Lydia’s unease, her neighbor Phyllis sends her footage from their security cameras showing Leslie trespassing on the Morgan’s property late last night.
Lydia isn’t off-base for feeling concerned that Leslie might start investigating thoroughly. At home, Sarah updates her partner on her discussion with Lydia, and Leslie immediately decides to search online about what happened to Jacob. Here’s the twist! Sarah is expecting a baby! However, I didn’t mean that as the surprise I was referring to; Leslie’s internet digging unearths multiple news articles detailing an unfortunate incident where Jacob Morgan lost his life during a botched home robbery.
Let’s add up the pieces of intel we have here: In the news, it was reported that Jacob was shot and killed by the burglar, who was never found. But, the Morgans have been hiding what looks to be the weapon that killed Jacob and a pillowcase full of stolen items that Paul was adamant about keeping hidden. Plus, there’s the Mikey of it all and let’s not forget that one of Jacob’s parents has hands that shake uncontrollably now. It sure seems like No Good Deed is implying that Jacob was, in fact, the one robbing homes, one of his parents shot him believing him to be breaking in, and they called up Mikey to cover up their involvement. It would certainly explain a lot about Paul and Lydia’s behavior.
Even though we’ve just started with episode 2, there are bound to be some unexpected events ahead. It would be wise for you to keep that in mind too. It seems we might find ourselves revisiting the initial question: What transpired at the Morgan residence on the night Jacob passed away?
Closing Costs
In a turn of events, Margo faces rejection from Gwen in both professional and personal matters. Seething with anger, she follows Gwen to a bar and exposes her scheme to swindle her business partners out of substantial investments. Unbeknownst to Margo, her own actions lead to the destruction of her own life when she unwittingly reveals her own deceit to her spouse. In a questionable attempt at reconciliation, Margo asks for JD’s forgiveness but inadvertently reminds him of his inability to be intimate with her. Essentially, her apology is far from heartfelt.
It appears that JD has stopped using his medication due to it causing hallucinations and problems in the bedroom. Additionally, he has recently experienced a 5150 incident. So, what’s going on with this individual? Seems like he might be dealing with some significant health challenges.
• Lydia thinking about texting Paul with the water-gun emoji made me cackle.
• In case you missed it: That pillowcase full of the burglar’s booty also had a bullet casing inside. Hmm, there’s a lot of evidence just sitting in that house waiting to be found!
Paul recognizes that Lydia can no longer play the piano and this difference is interpreted as her refusal to do so. This leads him to suspect that Lydia’s issues may be fabricated, suggesting a strain in their marriage. However, despite these challenges, they manage to put up a facade of things being normal.
