Bad Monkey season one episode six arrived exclusively on Apple TV+ on September 11, 2024. The episode, titled, Yo, Would You Tell Ms. Chase I Still Love Her Like Crazy? ended on a major cliffhanger for Bad Monkey fans as the Dragon Queen (played by Jodie Turner-Smith) got kidnapped in the final moments of the episode while she was taking a stroll in the forest.

Although the showrunners have made viewers believe in the mystical powers of the Dragon Queen from the beginning of the first installment, in the last few episodes her magic hasn’t been very effective. While she warned Nick and Eve about their deceptive nature in episode six, by reading their hearts and minds, if her powers were real, perhaps she could have seen her abduction incoming.

After episode six aired, fans of the show on Reddit discussed the episode and praised its characters for putting up an entertaining show. A Bad Monkey fan, after watching episode six commented:

"Probably my favorite episode yet. I liked the slower pace of this one."

Another viewer praised the character of Vince Vaughn aka Andrew Yancy, and talked about how Yancy’s onscreen presence and dialogue delivery are enough, to entertain fans.

"I get people feeling like we’re getting a lot of filler but for me it doesn’t matter. This is kinda a vibes show for me at this point. I could listen to Vaughn’s sarcasm and just watch the characters in these locales all day. I’m just happy to spend an hour with it each week," commented the viewer.

Another viewer, praised every character on the show, especially the Dragon Queen, and asked other Redditers that:

"Am I the only one who likes the dragon queen? And her grandmother Yaya? I think she really kicked ass in Episode 6, The way she talked to Nick and Eve Was pretty chilling, I thought. I’ve read the book and I like this character a lot more than the way the book described her. As far as Neville is concerned, they need a lot more of him."

To the above question, several fans vouched for the Dragon Queen and wrote:

"Love the Dragon Queen—and kinda like Egg a lot more than Neville tbh," another netizen commented praising the Bad Monkey characters ~ Egg, Neville, and the Dragon Queen.
"We love her as well as the entire cast. Episode 6 really gave us deep insight into all of the individual characters!..." Another Redditor wrote.

What can happen to the Dragon Queen in episode 7 of Bad Monkey?

Bad Monkey, episode 7, is all set to arrive on Apple TV+ on September 18, 2024, The official synopsis of the episode tells viewers about Eve negotiating with the Dragon Queen once again.

However, fans are not provided any insight about what the negotiation is about. The negotiation can be about the property that the Dragon Queen owns, which she tried to sell to Nick and Eve in episode six. However, the negotiations didn’t go well because of lowballing offers.

As Nick and Eve are made aware that Yancy has proved his innocence and is now going to come for the couple's arrest, the negotiations can also be about the Dragon Queen using her powers to save Nick and Eve.

More insight into this will be provided, once episode seven of Bad Monkey arrives on Apple TV+. Viewers will also get to know if the powers of the Dragon Queen are real or if it’s all an act, just for money and respect, in the upcoming episode.


Bad Monkey is now streaming on Apple TV+.
