The second episode of TheIdol dives more into Jocelyn’s troubled past.
s second episode, Abel Tesfaye’s Tedros is an elusive figure. If I were a psychologist, I might suggest he was playing hard to get, drawing back from Lily-Rose Depp’s Jocelyn, presenting as unavailable, taking a day to respond to her texts and denying her invitations so as to draw her in before completely overtaking her life. It seems to work, and by the end of “Double Fantasy,” Jocelyn is putty in Tedros’s hand.
“Double Fantasy” begins with an upbeat Jocelyn eager to show her team what she believes is a new-and-improved version of “World Class Sinner/I’m a Freak.” It’s a song she hates, but her team believes will be a hit . She gyrates to the music, wearing another outfit engineered to cover the least amount of skin while still legally passing as clothing, her overly sexualized moans playing over the inarguably catchy hook.
We learn more about Jocelyn’s breakdown, which occurred following her mother’s death last year. Despite constant insistence that she was fine, a week before she was set to play Madison Square Garden, she was found “babbling up on the roof, talking to things in outer fucking space.” Eight months of treatment followed before the comeback plan was put into place, which leads us to where we find Jocelyn now—a week out from her first release in almost a year, once again buckling under the pressure.
But back to the action—because it’s time to film the music video for “World Class Sinner,” and Jocelyn’s already running late, stuck in makeup covering up the cuts on her inner thighs . Immediately, it’s clear Jocelyn is struggling. She’s off beat, forgets to lip sync, and even when she gets it all right, it’s not good enough for her.
The team cuts their losses and sends Jocelyn home to recuperate, which is when the second act begins. Tedros comes over with his friends in tow. Izaak seems to be employed to distract Jocelyn’s uptight assistant while Chloe is Tedros’s answer to Squeaky Fromme . We also learn that Dyanne is managed by Tedros, and she orchestrated Jocelyn’s introduction to the nightclub owner.
