It’s all heating up on Truth Be Told, Poppy (Octavia Spencer) and the gang are close to tracking down Trey (Isaiah Jarel), their number one suspect in the Drea case, whilst Aames (David Lyons) seems to have a promising lead in the Emily Mills disappearance case too. On top of all this, Eva (Gabrielle Union) reveals some shocking secrets, and the mayoral competition takes a dramatic turn.
“Never Take Your Eyes Off Her” is a much-improved episode for the most part, offering tense drama and big reveals, although these twists can be a little hard to believe and the finale is rather melodramatic. Here’s what happened in Truth Be Told Season 3 Episode 4:
- Trini’s parents search for their daughter. Poppy worries that Trini has been groomed by Aubrey and may be in danger.
- Poppy and Eva raid Aubrey’s locker and find expensive shoes and pieces of jewelry. Trini’s parents find more gifts at home and revealing photographs of Trini.
- Poppy asks to reach out to Aubrey via her podcast. At first, the parents are defensive, but then they decide to give Aubrey a pseudonym to hide his identity. Poppy pleads with Aubrey on her podcast, asking him to come home.
- Using social media, they find a friend of Aubrey’s called Cooper and question him next. He talks about his history with Trey. He too was conned into the sex trafficking world. Trey had him and Aubrey trick high school girls into making sex tapes. Cooper suggests checking out Trey’s recording studio, although he doesn’t know the exact location.
- Desiree tells Poppy that she isn’t pregnant. Poppy refuses to tell her sisters that Shreve isn’t her biological father.
- Aames and Markus look into the purchasing of these gold chains and discover they were bought by Alicia Rodriguez, the woman that Eva is currently intimate with. Eva overhears this nugget of information and confronts Alicia about it.
- At the fundraiser, Shreve steals the stage and asks Questeur to put out an alert in the search for Trini. Lee begrudgingly agrees. Meanwhile, Eva messages Alicia about the chains. Alicia bought them for Andrew Finney. Eva realizes that Finney was her trafficker all those years ago and he is still in the game.
- Trey argues with Aubrey and strangles him in front of Trini. Aubrey forces Trini to wear her new dress. She is scared and begs to go home.
- Aames investigates Victor’s second home and finds a possible clue. He is contacted by Poppy about Trey’s possible location and heads over with another police officer.
- Markus breaks into the studio and chases after Trey. Poppy finds evidence that Trini has been branded. Trey escapes, but Aames’ assistant shoots him dead.
