finished the residence. bruce and elysie had me in fucking tears from the moment cordelia asked how long they’d been in love w each other (516 days) to bruce bringing her a sandwich and snagging macarons to them laying next to each other on the second floor to the parthenon necklace/keychain. like actual, couldn’t stop them from falling tears. idk what the actors and the writers put into that but it was the most beautiful and romantic little thing in the middle of it all and I found it absolutely devastating

for everybody who needs it chronicallogically, the actual murder relevant events. SPOILERS

-Lilly argues with A.B. in his office, which Eddie Gomez the carpenter overhears. Lilly rips out a page of A.B.'s journal, which coincidentally loooks like a suicide note. She then decides to kill him via poison (paraquat), which she goes to the shed to find. In there, she breaks the glass she brought with her and steals a cup that belongs to the gardener (Emily).

-Rylance (Australian who hooks up with the cook) sees someone in the shed (Lilly), and goes back inside where he swaps shirts with A.B. in A.B.'s office. A.B. then recieves a call from Lilly asking him to meet her in the yellow oval room. He then calls Elysie to meet him there too.

-Through one of the staff passages, Lilly sees Elysie and A.B. having an argument. Elysie leaves, and Lilly gives A.B. the journal paper back. She insists that A.B. drinks the paraquad he thinks is scotch. She then throws a vase at him, scatching his face and causing him to crash into the mantle, knocking over the candelstick. Lilly then blungeons him with the clock, which she hides in a cabinet in the staff passage way. She is no longer in the room.

-Elysie is found in the hallway by Bruce, who tells her 'I'll handle it', but tells him to go. Elysie returns to the yellow Oval room and sees that A.B. is dead. She assumes that Bruce killed A.B., and takes the candelstick which she presumably thinks is the murder weapon. Bruce sees her running out of the room and he re-enters the room to find the dead A.B., where he drags the body into the hallway, and is witnessed by Doumbe/the third man. Then he drags the body up the staff staircase in the hallway and into room 301. He drops his keys in 301.

-Tripp is drunk and wakes up in room 301 next to the body, and drags it to the game room. He is witnessed by Shelia, who is so drunk she can only make out that there's a person in the hallway with her. There's blood on the wall of 301, and Tripp paints it over, when he sees the keys. He assumes they're A.B.'s, so he places them on the body. He then finds the ''Suicide note'', and decides that he needs to cut the wrists. Tripp then runs to Gotthard office to get a knife, slits the wrists, and leaves.

-Gotthard finds the body and takes the knife, which he puts in a box and takes to the non-functioning incenerator.

The residence spoiler !! Although it is a very good show and you should definitely watch it.

Lilly Schumacher. The villain that she is. Perfectly ruthless, uncaring about other people's lives, and so fucking good at lying. Entirely unredeemable from the moment she was introduced to the very end. And that final reveal... it really gave us such a clear view of how she viewed the world, how she came to do that.

On one hand I wished she had more screen time but on the other I know that if she spoke more, it would have been obvious she'd done it. Honestly I'm probably gonna have to rewatch it now that I know just to appreciate all those moment they showed us the truth.

I rarely like characters that are genuinely bad people, I just don't see the point in it. But her. I could probably have watched like 4 more seasons of her being a despicable person and getting away with it.

Also the 2 senators acting like its a fun murder mystery (which -to be fair- it is) is adorable. Now time to hide the truth with those tags!

I just finished "The Residence".

What a great show.

"Larry. Yeah. Larry."

Nick Simms, Calligrapher

This show was the perfect mix between murder-mistery, comedy, drama, political satire, and even romance.

Narrator: Yep. The story between Elsyie, the maid, and Bruce, the engineer and involuntary plumber, got to him. Bad.

So what?!? Im not gonna apologize? Lines like

"He didn't try to reassure me. He didn't tell me I'd get there. He didn't lie to me. He didn't talk. He didn't do all of the annoying things that men do because they don't want you to just feel something. He just kinda...held my hand and rubbed my arm. It was the loveliest anybody has ever been to me in my life."

...you don't stumble upon on a daily basis... My overly romantic middle-aged brain has a soft spot there...sigh.

Anyway. Great show for all of the above reasons. Plus, the gay POTUS I've not even mentioned.

Narrator: Sigh. You just did. Spoiler.

Whatever. Hugh Jackman. Kylie Minogue.

Go. Watch. It.

If you're reading this and haven't already...

So I’m rewatching The Residence and I could never figure out why A.B. called Bruce in for the clog in Tripp’s toilet but it finally clicked. A.B. called Bruce in cause he trusted that Bruce knew the plumbing system the best cause of the shower and he knew that Tripp caused a lot more problems than one so Bruce would be the best to see if something is wrong cause no one else would go through the other rooms and make sure that nothing else was wrong. Man A.B. is great
