It is later revealed she knew Tim Kono previously evident by a nearly decade-old photo of Kono and Mora in his home and something that happened in the past which led to them drifting apart.

Then there’s the man who spawned the idea of the podcast, Oliver Putnam, a failed Broadway director who is now estranged from his wife and also on not-so-good terms with his son.
The last one of our trio of protags is senior Charles, who used to be a television actor back in the 1980s but since has washed into obscurity and nowadays living a lonely life.
Other recurring Characters include the victim Tim Kono(played by Julian Cihi) who as later revealed used to work as a stockbroker for none other than Sting, ya you heard that right the Rockstar Sting (more on it later).

He agrees to sponsor the podcast out of pity & Vanessa Aspillaga as Ursula, the Arconia building manager.
What can we expect in the latest episode?
In the last episode, we had seen Mabel acting strange which in turn was related to getting and Tim’s past, where they used to be fans of The Hardy Boys. Oliver and Charles suspect there’s more to Mabel than what meets the eye and thus try to investigate her incognito.
