Natasha Lyonne's human lie-detector protagonist, Charlie Cale, confronts Sam Richardson's apparent villain character in an exclusive clip presented by Peacock of Poker Face season 2 has received rave reviews following its critically acclaimed first season, resulting in a Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 90% (and 94% for both seasons combined). The Rian Johnson creation is well-established as a re-imagining of classic bumbling detective TV series like Columbo. Throughout the first half of Poker Face season 2, Charlie has uncovered murders committed by characters played by Cynthia Erivo, Giancarlo Esposito, and more.
Peacock has provided ScreenRant with an exclusive clip from Poker Face season 2, episode 7, "One Last Job," featuring Natasha Lyonne, Sam Richardson, and James Ransone. In the clip, Sam Richardson's apparent villain character holds Charlie at gunpoint as she recaps his robbery plan that sounds straight out of a vintage heist movie like Heat. When Richardson's character asks Charlie how she figured out his plan, Charlie hilariously snaps back, saying, "Oh, I don't know, maybe because it's the plot of every f–king heist movie ever made?" before telling Charlie, "This is the part where I take the cash and drive off into the sunset."

Charlie is ironically saved from Richardson's hostage situation by the arrival of James Ransone's limping gunman, which sends Richardson's character running. Charlie also reveals that she used an apparent mobile alarm to notify the police, hinting that Richardson's villain won't get away with his robbery scheme as planned, which is the typical MO for the detective anthology series. Since Poker Face is more of a "howcatchem" than a "whodunnit" murder mystery series, especially with the restructured anthological approach of season 2, it's a safe bet that Charlie will find her way out of yet another sticky situation.
