'Last Seen' Episode 3 “The Lie” + Emmy Chat, and What’s Next on the Podcast

We recap and react to Episode 3 of Last Seen, “The Lie,” focusing on how fast the mystery is moving and how close everyone is to connecting the clues. We discuss Sarah/Mags pushing back against her father’s control, Jenna’s growing fear of losing her, and Donald’s dawning realization that his brother may be hiding something serious, plus Ian’s increasingly relentless investigation (including the phone booth audio and the suspicious lack of fingerprints) that seems poised to force the truth into the open. Along the way, we talk about the Emmys and why Widow’s Bay is worth binging, touch on other series like Pluribus, The Pitt, The Diplomat, Colin From Accounts, and Trying, and preview upcoming coverage: HBO Max/BBC’s courtroom anthology War in October and Dexter’s return on October 30.
