As the curtains rise on the second chapter of "Poker Face," Amber (portrayed by Cynthia Erivo) emerges from the oven with newly baked sculptures, her steps purposeful as she ascends the stairs. She carries these artistic creations to Norma Kazinsky (Jasmine Guy), whose eyes are attuned to the subtleties of deceit. Norma, acutely aware of her daughter's anticipation for her demise to seize the inheritance, calls out Amber's drama of feigned loyalty. Enter Lawyer Paul Fletcher (Jin Ha), summoned to assist Norma in organizing her affairs. Norma confides in Amber that her daughter believes her heart's days are numbered, mere weeks away from failure.
Amber confronts Paul outside, seeking clarity into her mother's actions. Paul concedes that Norma has excluded her from her will, a revelation that sends Amber into a tempestuous tirade about her entitlement. He then drops the bombshell: a woman named Felicity Price stands to inherit it all. Driven by curiosity, Amber embarks on a quest to uncover more about Felicity Price, ultimately traveling to Vermont to confront her in person.
Felicity, living a reclusive life off the grid, welcomes Amber with openness, likening the discovery of a long-lost twin to finding a missing fragment of oneself. They share a sorrowful revelation: their father, Benny, is deceased, and Amber adds that their mother, Norma, has passed too. Felicity, intrigued, grants Amber permission to photograph her artwork, an invitation Amber seized, snapping numerous close-ups of Felicity's visage. Armed with these images, Amber meticulously transforms herself into Felicity's doppelgänger.
Paul, keeping tabs on Amber outside Norma's residence, watches as Norma mocks Amber's disguise, comparing her to an oversized filmic plumber. Amber silences her with a threat, preventing her from summoning help, and announcing her departure. Soon after, Norma's life ebbs away, and Amber reaches out to Felicity, inviting her to view her new home.
Felicity arrives to find Amber perched precariously on a cliff's edge, stunned by the uncanny resemblance. Amber, boasting about her newfound wealth, provokes a physical altercation that sends them tumbling towards the abyss. In the chaos, one of them plunges over. Amber crafts a video, staging her own apparent suicide, only to realize Felicity's leg was a prosthesis. Scrambling to thwart the video's release, Amber spots nearby railroad tracks and stages the scene to imply a train amputation.
With the deceptive narrative set, Amber uploads the video and adopts the moniker Felicity Price. The Kazinsky sisters rush to the grim scene, while the imposter Felicity confronts Paul about her inherited fortune. Meanwhile, Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), joined by Cookie (Lucien Spelman) at a parking lot, is startled by two assailants hailing Beatrix Hasp's greetings, followed by gunshots sending them scrambling for safety. Later, amidst a haunted hayride lecture on capitalism, Charlie once again finds herself in the crosshairs of the same men.
Jimmy (Tye Alexander) and Gino (Anthony DeSando) relentlessly pursue Charlie, whose path crosses with a woman curious about her fugitive status. The woman reveals her ties to "Kid Cop: Nights," a show where the Kazinsky sisters once starred as Cassidy Kidd. Charlie watches a clip of young Amber (Zani Jones Mbayise) on TV, her acting derided by Delia, who reveals Norma's manipulative tactics as a stage mother, pitting her daughters against each other in a rivalry from which they may never have recovered.
Norma unilaterally claimed all the earnings from the show, leaving little room for others. Later, they embarked on an apple-picking excursion, unaware of the drama that awaited them. Delia confided in Charlie, revealing Norma's untimely demise and her intention to attend the funeral, hoping to reclaim her share of the fortune. As Charlie chauffeured her to the somber event, Delia extended an invitation to step inside, where Charlie was introduced to Bebe, a vibrant DJ, and Cece, a dedicated teacher. Inquiries about the will soon followed, and they were informed that Norma's lawyer was en route. Speculations abounded that Amber would inherit the bulk of the estate, substantiated by Cece's photo exhibition of Amber.
Reminiscing about their days on 'Kid Cop,' the sisters painted a vivid picture of their past. The mention of Amber's presence at the bluff preceded a hasty expedition to discover her lifeless body. Back at the residence, Paul unveiled Felicity, a secret sibling unknown to all. Charlie observed as the police arrived, initiating a search for a missing foot, while indoors, Felicity shared her life story with the siblings, prompting Bebe to inquire about her plans for the inheritance. Regrettable reflections on not taking Amber seriously filled the room until Felicity declared her entitlement to the money, viewing it as compensation for a mother's unfelt love.
Delia threatened legal action, but Paul cautioned about the slim chances of success. Felicity proposed a settlement of $150,000 each if they refrained from litigation, a deal Bebe and Cece readily accepted. Delia, however, stood firm, refusing to let her hard-earned money slip away twice. Paul's reminder that her lawsuit could stall the estate for years convinced no one of immediate gains. Outside, Delia unleashed her fury, branding Norma a monster responsible for Amber's fate. Felicity's attempts to sway her were futile as Delia fled in Charlie's car for solitude.
Inside, Felicity assumed Delia's guise, swiftly signing the settlement papers before escaping. Charlie, in search of Delia, engaged in idle chatter about the buffet, sensing Felicity's fabrications. Her intuition, honed to detect deceit, hinted at potential fraud. Later, Charlie delved deeper with Paul about Felicity's background, uncovering a tale of shadowy creditors and a father's gambling addiction. Paul confirmed Felicity's account of her father's fatal accident.
Charlie, skeptical of Felicity's authenticity, ranked her acting prowess second only to Amber's. She posited Felicity might be an impostor, a theory she relayed to Delia, urging confrontation. Meanwhile, a disguised Amber, masquerading as Delia, dismissed Charlie to switch identities. The genuine Delia's return prompted Charlie to confront Felicity, questioning her identity. Amber confessed Felicity was a creation, a reaction to harsh realities, revealing 'Felicity Price' as her intended self. Charlie, seemingly convinced, reassured Delia of Felicity's authenticity, only for doubts to resurface.
Paul handed Delia a check, celebrating her change of heart. Suspecting impersonation, Delia pondered if a sibling had donned her coat for deceit. Their discussion was interrupted by police, who admitted the missing foot remained elusive. Charlie's glimpse at Felicity's portfolio hinted at a connection to the missing appendage, prompting an indoor confrontation. Charlie alleged the will's alterations incited Amber's homicidal tendencies, unraveling a web of deceit.
Charlie, too, remains unconvinced by the video, asserting that Amber harbored no intent to end her life by leaping. She claims that Felicity has met her fate, while Amber still lives. Charlie further contends that Amber couldn't have feigned her missing limb, a revelation she only uncovered post-tragedy. Felicity then produces a plausible facsimile of a prosthetic leg, prompting an instant apology from Charlie, who is promptly reprimanded by Felicity. In a sudden twist, Charlie spots a star emblem on her own leg and, inadvertently, drops her award onto Felicity’s foot. To everyone's shock, Amber's foot starts gushing blood, revealing her concealed presence and trapping her in her deceit. She begins to articulate the rationale behind her actions just as the police arrive, already privy to the details.
Delia informs Charlie that Felicity left no surviving kin, meaning all the funds from the Kid Cop endeavor will revert to them. Delia suggests that Charlie accompany her to the orchard, thinking it might do her good to settle down a bit. However, their tranquil moment is abruptly shattered as the assailants reappear, opening fire once more.
