Your Friends & Neighbors has reinforced what it truly means to “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” As series lead, Coop (Jon Hamm), grapples with the consequences of his schemes, he and his family could be facing a new threat. Or, perhaps, it’s right under his nose. But by the end of episode 9, the penultimate episode of season 2, one major character’s death shakes things up for several people.
So, who dies in episode 9? Below, News47.us breaks down the penultimate episode of season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors. (Warning: spoilers are ahead)
The season 2 finale, episode 10, will be released on Friday, June 5, on Apple TV.
By episode 9, it’s still unclear who exactly kidnapped Coop. At the beginning of the episode, he’s chained to a chair with a bag over his head. As masked men show Coop footage of him visiting Liv Cross (Kitty Hawthorne), they threaten him to make sure the “money stays where it is.”
Luckily, Coop is freed and runs back home to make sure Hunter (Donovan Colan) and Tori (Isabel Gravitt) are untouched. Upon seeing them asleep, safe and sound, Coop vomits in the sink, then watches over his kids as he quietly faces his inner demons.
After confronting Ashe (James Marsden) — perhaps the most likely culprit — later on, Ashe claims he is not responsible for the kidnapping and insists that he doesn’t run his business that way. Ashe even wants to investigate the kidnappers.
No. Despite the lingering electricity between Coop and Mel (Amanda Peet), they do not reconcile by season 2, episode 9. They’re both still single. Mel explores her sexuality and freedom as she manages menopause and hooks up with Miguel.
