Mrs. Davis Episode 5: Release Date, Spoilers & Where To Watch

What happens when the showrunner from “Lost” teams up with the executive producer from “The Big Bang Theory“? The answer is the latest creation by Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez, starring Betty Gilpin as a nurse who embarks on a worldwide crusade against an Artificial Intelligence entity named “Mrs. Davis”. The show is extremely funny because it combines Lidelof’s dark tones with Hernandez’s funny takes and gives us this production that made its way to NBC’s native streaming platform.

Hernandez and Lindelof managed in the first four chapters to tell a confusing story that’s left many a viewer looking for answers on the world wide web. One could expect the same man who created “The Leftovers” and “Watchmen” to stick to his style of eventually clarifying the evident plotholes that are everywhere in this series. Let’s not forget what he did to all of us with “Lost”, but regardless of the outcome, Mrs. Davis is very fun to watch!

Mrs. Davis Episodes 1-4 Recap

The story for this crazy series begins in Europe in the 1300s when some soldiers go in revolt and enters a convent in search of an artifact they call “The Holy Grail” (we don’t know if it’s the cup from where Jesus Christ had his sip of wine from the Last Supper, but that’s just one of the many plotholes here), after a bloody battle, an old nun tasks a younger nun to hide the Holy Grail by taking it to the American continent (which is bonkers because Columbus set foot in that region in 1492, but hell! It’s a fiction comedy show, right?).

AI Takeover

We jump to the present day, and we see how a scientist called Schrodinger (here we see Hernandez’s fascination with science) and his pet cat are rescued from an island after being missing for a decade. He finds out that after all that time, the world is now run by AI, who’s managed to rid the world of all its bad aspects, sort of an Aldous Huxleyesque dystopian thing.

Meet Lizzie

The show then travels back to Reno, Nevada, in the early 2000s, where a small girl enjoys a magic show that’s run by her folks until she starts snooping around and ends up getting shot with an arrow in the abdomen. The girl, named Lizzie, has a trip to a hospital, then during her stay meets Wiley, and Cupid shoots another —metaphorical— arrow. They become lovers, but it turns out that Wiley is a conman without any real achievements, and that breaks Lizzie’s heart because she is going to live with this dude in Alaska, and then the relationship ends.

Back To The Future: 2023

We jump forward into the future, and Lizzie becomes a nun, and her name is now Simone. Who does a living by exposing scammers and taking orders from a dude we never see in a diner via the chef. Simone makes a living, but she’s unhappy at the fact that AI now rules the world, and she blames AI for the death of her dad and wants payback. When the convent where Simone lives ends up being sold, and her sisters are relocated, Simone thinks that AI is behind this.

And if things weren’t bonkers enough, Simone gets kidnapped by some German dudes who are looking for that Holy Grail from the 1300s. But Wiley —the conman-turned-anti-AI activist— comes out of nowhere, saves Lizzie, and asks her to join their anti-AI crusade.

Simone And Wiley Travel To Europe

Simone and Wiley embark on a trip to Europe for a medieval competition as a coverup excuse in their search for Mrs. Davis. Still, Wiley has more interest in the medieval competition than the original mission, which leads to a discussion between Wiley and Simone where the conman says that he made a deal with the AI to get wings. Simone tells him how she ended up becoming nun.

Simone eventually follows a girl with similar characteristics to the nun that was entrusted with the Holy Grail centuries ago, but Wiley is kidnapped by a German dude who followed them after getting the intel from the AI.
