Episode 5 of Bad Monkey unfolds with Nick forcibly escorting Yancy to the dock's edge, where the hulking figure collapses, unconscious. With a calculated move, Nick deposits Yancy into the water, staging the scene to resemble a tragic suicide. When he breaks the news to Eve, her elation is palpable, instantly transforming into a determination to pamper him – a sentiment that fades as swiftly as it dawned, replaced by a list of chores for Nick to attend to.
Nick's heart sinks as he realizes his phone, the key to his current predicament, lies abandoned near Yancy's submerged form. Meanwhile, Yancy, miraculously alive, resurfaces in the neighboring house for sale, causing a commotion during a real estate tour led by Evan. Outdoors, he issues a chilling warning to Evan, threatening violence should he continue harming the local wildlife. Ironically, amidst the chaos, Yancy stumbles upon Nick's phone, its screen displaying four missed calls from an unsuspecting Eve.
Yancy's next move is to seek Rosa's aid, sharing the revelation of Nick's survival and their urgent need to delve into his phone's secrets. As Mendez's arrival casts a shadow of danger, Rosa's nerves fray, but Yancy remains confident, dismissing the threat with a shrug. Swiftly, Rosa concocts a plan to smuggle Yancy out, their escape marred only by an awkward elevator encounter.
News of Yancy's miraculous survival spreads like wildfire, sending Nick into a panic. Yet, he manages to conceal his turmoil from Eve. On the other hand, Bonnie, destitute and desperate, ventures to Yancy's abode, oblivious to his absence with Rosa. Boldly breaking in, she seeks refuge, unaware that her every move is being meticulously observed by the ominous black SUV lurking in the shadows.
In Barbados, Egg seethes with rage, relentlessly scouring the island in search of Neville. The air crackles with tension as Egg engages in a dramatic confrontation with the Dragon Queen, their discussion veering towards business matters. Gradually, the Queen's demeanor softens, finding common ground with Egg's arguments. Unbeknownst to all, Neville finds himself holed up at his sister's abode, clutching a USB drive that holds the damning evidence of falsified accounts and shady dealings.
Craftily maneuvering a meeting with his superior, Tanny, Neville leverages his charm to secure an audience. Dawnie escorts him to Tanny's doorstep, but fate has other plans. Just as Neville prepares to divulge the incriminating data, Egg makes a surprise appearance, swooping in to seize the USB for himself.
Elsewhere, Sonny uncovers a clandestine conversation between Ro and Yancy, prompting a stern ultimatum: speak up or face the consequences of demotion and expulsion from the force.
Meanwhile, Eve and Nick make a sinister visit to Caitlin's abode, where Eve menacingly confronts the young woman. Nick, eavesdropping on the confrontation, is powerless to intervene due to Eve's hold over him. Caitlin, shocked to see her father side with Eve against her, erupts in disgust, ultimately expelling both of them from her home.
Yancy, fresh from a meeting with Rosa's parents, sets his sights on Nick's grave, intent on retrieving the buried arm. However, his plans are abruptly interrupted by the arrival of Rosa and the Miami police – the former in support, the latter as adversaries. After extracting the finger and accessing Nick's phone, they uncover a chilling revelation: Nick and his gang are headed to an airfield.
Racing against time, they fail to intercept Nick and Eve at the airfield. Desperate, Yancy calls Eve's phone, his voice echoing through the line with chilling clarity: he's alive, and their reckoning is imminent.
