A recap of The Sympathizer episode 3
A lot of action featured in the third episode of The Sympathizer. The Captain, still trying to hide his identity as a mole, was found framing Major as the mole. While he found a helpful friend in Bon, he reluctantly killed the Major. Ironically, the killing took place after the Major threw a longevity party for his mother.
A new Robert Downey Jr. character, "Napalm" Ned Godwin, was introduced at the party. He offended the Major's mother by gifting her a knife while being unhappy about the Captain's Vietnamese-French origins. As such, he gave a powerful speech about American freedom and Vietnam's role in controlling communism.
After the Major's death, Claude revealed the letters he found among the Major's things, apparently written by the Major to Man, to the Captain. While Captain knew that he had written the letters himself, he managed to divert the attention away from himself.
A flashback scene also showed how the Captain, played by Hoa Xuande, attending the Watchman's interrogation, asked the prisoner to be given three boiled eggs to eat. The prisoner choked on the third one and died, leaving the Captain's identity a secret.
In the last scene of the third episode, titled Love It or Leave It, the Captain went to dinner with Claude, where he was introduced to filmmaker Nikos, also played by Robert Downey Jr. Soon, "Napalm" Ned and Professor Hammer joined them.
With this, the last scene of episode 3 included four of the Hollywood actor's characters in the same frame.
What is the expected plot of The Sympathizer episode 4?
The Sympathizer episode 4 is titled Give Us Some Good Lines. The plot will pick up from the previous episode and will likely see Captain striving to keep his identity a secret.
Having killed the Major to save his cause, the Captain is already guilty. The upcoming episode may feature the impact his guilt has on him. He may also need to be careful about getting too close to Bon, who is privy to his crime.
His affair with Ms. Sofia Mori will likely also be the focus of The Sympathizer episode 4, taking their relationship forward.
Fans can watch The Sympathizer episode 4 on HBO on May 5, 2024, at 6 pm PT. Alternately, they can also stream it on Max at the same time.
