Episode 6 of "Death and Other Details" opens with a captivating scene of young Imogene, her eyes glued to a video footage of Rufus from 1992. He stands confidently on a talk show stage, recounting how he masterfully solved a perplexing case of a missing necklace through shrewd deduction. Imogene, in awe, is thoroughly impressed.
Meanwhile, in the present, Imogene finds herself in an intimate embrace with Sunil. Elsewhere, Rufus and Teddy are engrossed in a meticulous examination of the hulking servers concealed within the ship's walls. Rufus is adamant that Sunil is privy to this secret and attempts to reach out to Imogene.
In the confined quarters of the brig, Winnie confides in Jules, revealing her deeper purpose within her organization. However, she is shaken to the core when Jules reveals that Keith is not the millionaire she thought he was, but merely Rufus's assistant. Meanwhile, Leila struggles to crack the password to the system, while Anna and her brother indulge in a karaoke pity party elsewhere on the ship, seeking solace in song.
Finally, Imogene and Rufus's paths cross, and he fills her in on the latest developments. Sunil, in a separate moment, orders flowers to be sent to Imogene's room, but his serenity is shattered by a call on a hidden phone. The mysterious caller informs Sunil that he is constantly under surveillance, revealing himself as the man who had been trailing them in Malta. Sunil declares that he will no longer spy for them, regardless of what they threaten to do to his ship. The caller, enraged, threatens Imogene before hanging up.
Unfortunately, Imogene and Rufus are standing right there, having overheard the entire conversation. They realize with a chilling certainty that the caller was Viktor Sams.
Rufus asserts that Sunil squandered his entire fortune constructing the ship, prompting Viktor Sams to acquire it. However, Sunil denies ever encountering Sams. Instead, he recounts encountering Andreas Windeler, an asset manager hailing from Zurich. Windeler informed him that Sams would finance the project provided Sunil agreed to technological advancements on the vessel. Sunil acquiesced. For five to six years, no demands were made until Danny's untimely demise, at which point Sunil was summoned to report on the investigation. Sunil maintains that he divulged limited information, yet Imogene's ire is justified.
Anna confesses to Tripp her dalliance with Eleanor, and their discussion turns to strategies for retrieving Leila. Llewellyn emerges onto the deck, appearing nervous after a tumultuous evening with Hilde. He confides in Toby, revealing that the company is now effectively under the control of the Chuns.
Governor Alexandra approaches Hilde, offering damning evidence against Lawrence Collier. But the file she holds contains only blank pages. Suddenly, the governor coughs up blood and collapses.
Sunil, now bound to a chair, insists to Rufus and Imogene that he knows nothing. Rufus ponders why Sams would risk exposing the ship merely for Danny's sake. Meanwhile, Imogene arrives on deck to find Alexandra lifeless. Tripp panics, accusing Llewellyn, whom Alexandra had sought out for a meeting.
Rufus and Imogene unfolded the sordid tale of Viktor Sams to Hilde, and their eyes widened in horror as they inspected the lifeless body. Their conclusion was chilling: Viktor Sams had been poisoned three days prior. Imogene's memory stirred, recalling the scene where Winnie administered a vitamin drip to Alexandra.
With determination etched on their faces, the investigators, along with Teddy, confronted Winnie. She broke down, admitting to the murder of Alexander. Her confession revealed a dark secret: she had received instructions through a flip phone. She spoke of her late friend Keeley, whose life was cut short by a greedy factory owner. Viktor Sams had avenged Keeley's death, and Winnie saw him as a crusader against the rich and corrupt.
Meanwhile, Leila's fingers flew over the keyboard as she hacked into the intricate network. Her eyes widened as she unearthed footage from hidden CCTV cameras, including a shocking clip of Eleanor locking lips with Anna.
Elsewhere, Rufus and Imogene stormed into Sunil's office. Their hearts pounded as they scrolled through Sunil's phone, stumbling upon a message from Ines. It contained crucial information about the bill of lading, a pivotal piece in the puzzle.
Imogene's anger boiled over as she stormed into Anna's room. She accused Anna of using captionem blue in her factory in Jiangsu, China, potentially ruining countless lives. Anna's defense was fervent; she insisted that she had rebuilt the factory to rectify the mistake, sacrificing everything for it. But the argument escalated, and Anna revealed a shocking secret: she knew Imogene had been stealing from the company. Her voice was laced with disdain as she labeled Imogene ungrateful for all her family had done.
Hilde engaged in a conversation with Katherine and Toby, informing them that reinforcements were on their way and soon they would dock on land. Meanwhile, Teddy's path crossed with Leila, who revealed the stash of blackmail materials Sams had amassed. Suddenly, the ship was plunged into darkness as the lights abruptly went out. Leila attributed this to Sams' mischief, prompting Teddy to rush off in search of generators.
Imogene's encounter with Rufus was fraught with revelations. She shared that Anna had confessed to the debacle involving captionem blue, and Rufus surmised that this was Alexandra's grievance against the Colliers. But their conversation was interrupted by a commotion upstairs. Llewellyn, overcome by guilt, had scaled the ship's railing and confessed that the truth had been staring him in the face. He lamented that Kira, Imogene's mother, deserved better and, in a fit of despair, hurled himself off the ship.
Imogene urgently sought Rufus' recollection of Llewellyn's past words, but he hesitated. Rufus confessed that he was far from being the greatest detective in the world. Flashing back to 1992, he recalled playing cards with a man who wagered a shiny necklace and lost it to Rufus. The bartender informed Rufus that the necklace was stolen, and Rufus lied about his "investigation" on TV. In the present, he admitted to bluffing through many cases, with the exception of the Viktor Sams case.
Imogene was outraged to learn that Rufus was a fraud. She demanded that he reveal everything that had transpired all those years ago, leaving a cliffhanger at the end of Death and Other Details Episode 6.
