Perry Mason has been a literary and TV icon for the last century, but his prestige makeover on HBO in 2020 was a new look for the character, bringing with it a new backstory, tone, and format. With handsome period production and a season-long mystery, not to mention an overabundance of HBO’s trademark adults-only grit, the first season was a compelling and well-acted mystery and we’re back for more in the anticipated sophomore outing.
Here’s what happened in Perry Mason Season 2 Episode 7:
- Pete feels bad about ratting Perry out to Mulligan, so he confesses what he did to him. They fight but ultimately make amends, and Pete offers to help with the case.
- We learn throughout the episode that Lydell McCutcheon is selling oil to the Japanese which they’re using for their military. The U.S. has imposed heavy embargoes on the Japanese, so Lydell is essentially committing treason.
- Clara and Paul followed the blue sedan, which was revealed to be driven by the wife of Camilla’s lawyer, Phippsy, who overdosed on heroin.
- Hamilton is being blackmailed by persons as yet unknown, who are threatening to release photographs of him being intimate with another man.
- Rafael has been accepted into art school, but Mateo decides not to give him the admission letter.
- It seems like Camilla is pulling the strings after Lydell claims to Perry that he never wanted to have his son killed.
