LEARN MORE.
The mystery is progressing nicely on DTF St. Louis.
Floyd is still dead and getting the in memorium treatment to just who he really was, Clark is still in jail, and Carol is being revealed to be both in love with Floyd and incredibly unsatisfied with her marriage.
Are we still in the middle of WTF is happening here? Yes, we are. But there are some interesting revelations to discuss.

It all started with the cornhole celebration, which we first visited on DTF St. Louis Season 1 Episode 1. There, Carol got her hooks into Clark while Floyd helped get Clark’s kids into hip hop dance classes.
Floyd may have been DTF, but he was seeking other ways to fulfill himself, too. And he seemed to want that fulfillment to help his marriage, not free him from it. Then again, that’s just the picture we’re seeing now.
I’m skeptical of every bit of it.
Right now, Carol looks quite devious, and I’m going to have a hard time seeing her as anything else without a lot of character work.
I mean, what are the odds your favorite drinks would match at Jamba Juice?? Especially the healthiest of drinks? Didn’t it seem like she was literally looking for Clark, hoping he’d catch her there?

That eventually proved to be exactly what happened, but Clark had no idea.
Clark, a successful weatherman with his face plastered all over the city, isn’t exactly confident.
He’s so displeased with his career that he pulled a fictional career as the Bang Master or Big Bang, the owner of a deep-sea demolition company, out of his arse to impress Carol. Uh, what?
Why are we always so embarrassed about what we do? I do it, too. I tell people I have a website, and I imagine them rolling their eyes, so I start tossing out people I’ve interviewed to get approval.
Floyd, on the other hand, had very little but was satisfied with most of it. Financial and marital troubles didn’t get him down, but he was clearly dissatisfied with his penis, and a lot of what he did aimed to make it less upsetting for him.

Floyd signed up Richard for hip hop classes but took his place so that he could add a bit of flavor to his big shows.
Floyd was so full of joy while dancing with the kids. He didn’t have a hint of embarrassment. Clark is embarrassed by his success, but Floyd embraces every new experience. I’m betting Clark is somewhat jealous of Clark for far more than his wife.
Clark is always looking for an explanation. Was it Floyd’s heroic moment in the street, saving a kid from a mental break, that caused his Peyronie’s? Did his penis get hit by a car?
No, but Floyd got on the news. That must have inspired him to do something else in life. Everything he experiences launches him down a different avenue.
Yet Clark seemed genuinely happy to be watching his kids in the hip hop class. Hell, he seemed happy to be watching Floyd.

Floyd’s car died, and he had no concerns about waiting for another paycheck to get a tow or asking to keep his car in a public lot until he could do it.
Floyd and Carol are in a very bad financial place, which gives Carol the motive to off him.
The way Carol came on to Clark was very off, especially since she knew he was friendly with Floyd. They work together. Awkward. Women have killed for less, but money is often the biggest motivator.
But I love how Floyd’s first thought after his car died was to keep the R&B dance lessons. It doesn’t cost enough that it would allow him to fix or get a new car if he quit. He needed Carol to understand that.
The whole “I can’t hear you over our one car” as Floyd tried to tell Carol he loved her was another red flag pointing at Carol as the mastermind behind Floyd’s death.

But if they’re painting her to look like the bad guy already, that could mean it’s a red herring. Lots of red here.
It’s far too early in the series for us to have a true indication of how Floyd died. Honestly, I think he killed himself. That’s my guess. He genuinely seems to be a good guy, and if he’s making those around him miserable, I could see him doing the gentlemanly thing and taking himself out.
But it’s also far too early to reveal something like that.
Watching Carol roping Clark into doing things she should be doing with her husband made me uncomfortable. And that’s coming from someone who, in her youth, had an affair with a married man. Maybe that’s why I’m uncomfortable.
Clark is apparently so unhappy in his marriage (that we know nothing about) that he’s falling right into her hands. But that we know so little about his private life seems intentional. Like they’ll whip out some truth later in DTF St. Louis Season 1.

The short “snag it” scene at the ball park made me cringe. Who puts beer between their legs, especially when you’re passing it down the line? I get that it’s supposed to be funny and part of Carol’s ploy to lure Clark into an affair (or murder!), but yikes. It’s uncomfortable to watch.
When she told Clark that he could do absolutely anything with her was another red flag. He’s so into her that he didn’t even recognize it for the trap it is. If she’s the killer, she’ll use all of that against him later.
But his deepest desire being her to conduct business while sitting on his face? Who saw that coming? Can you even imagine telling a cop about that? To save your life?
“What’s one of your dreams?” “Oh, weight placement. On my face.” Horrifying. But then again, this is a man who rides a recumbent bike around town. What did Homer call it? A nerd bike? Haha!
Meanwhile, Homer and Jodie are on very different pages, too. He’s old-school and animated, and she’s progressive and reserved. Yet they work. They’re pulling at opposite sides of the case, so they’ll have a complete picture down the road.

During Jodie’s interview with her, Carol didn’t react as someone who just lost her husband to murder. She was more aggravated than concerned with finding what happened to him.
That interview sealed the deal for me to think that she’s either behind Floyd’s murder or she will be painted as being behind it until she’s not.
Or is it my bias for men? I see them as somewhat pathetic and easily led by women. Sorry, but entertainment has proven that hypothesis time and time again. A woman flashes her essence, and a man falls at her feet.
And you could see how Carol’s reaction to watching Floyd at the hip hop show confused Clark. How can she both be in love with Floyd and cheating on him? Because humans are complicated and messy. Real life often interrupts our dreams.
She’s not living the life with Floyd she thought she would live, and to make up for deficiencies in that marriage, she’s having an affair.

Is that enough to make Clark kill Floyd? Clark looked disappointed but not crushed by what she said. Probably more confused about what he was doing to his own life than what Carol was doing to him.
And Carols was right. Floyd was in his element. He was radiating joy from that stage. How could you not watch him and get a little teary-eyed at the absurdity of it all?
Homer thought that moment led to Clark befriending Floyd to execute a dastardly plan, and that very well may be true. But he might also have done it to find out what Floyd had that kept Carol on the hook. Who hasn’t wondered what someone else had that you don’t?
And if you’ve wondered why DTF St. Louis is the title when it seems to have had so little to do with the story, it came back into play. The more we see of it, the more it seems like a red herring that was mean to lead investigators away from whoever did it. Well, that didn’t work out all that well.
Floyd had an experience with a man through DTF. That’s hardly what he set out for, but he got breakfast and a little ass play.

But Tiger Tiger? That’s Clark. He summoned Floyd to the pools. To hook up. He had been catfishing Floyd on DTF, and that’s going to be hard to explain away. So far, Clark hasn’t even tried.
Homer’s assertion that Floyd liked to meet men on DTF rattled Clark and gave Homer pause. It cracks me up how Homer’s totally focused on the “sex” of it all, from the Indiana Jones centerfold to what might have happened between Floyd and Christopher, a fun role for Peter Sarsgaard.
Ultimately, when Homer snared Clark as Tiger Tiger, Clark still didn’t seem like a murderer. He seemed to be holding back, and I wondered if he could have found something special with Floyd that he didn’t want to let go.
Could he have been confused about his own feelings for Floyd? Did he kill Floyd when he was turned down for a sexual encounter with him?
I mean, the guy is into weight placement. Floyd would be far more effective at giving it than Carol.

And he was so chuffed for Floyd when Floyd got the hit from Tiger Tiger. Did he just want to see Floyd excited to meet?
If so, he would have been a lot more concerned when Homer revealed that Amphezyne was found in the Bloody Mary drink, particularly since he had a prescription for it.
But these coincidental clues could mean nothing at all.
And then Jodie found multiple copies of Playgirl amongst Floyd’s most cherished possessions. Indiana Jones? That’s Floyd from his youth, before the Peyronies. Floyd wasn’t looking at a centerfold because he desired that man. He desired to be who he was before Peyronie’s.
Homer is out there following all the clues that will probably ultimately tie in unexpectedly, but Jodie has the real instincts. That was proven when she questioned Carol’s favorite drink at Jamba Juice. Hint: It’s not the Go-Getter.

They’re circling different parts of the puzzle and getting different results, but when they come together, they’re probably going to either reveal something quite devious or a terrible twist of fate that led to Floyd’s death without any one person taking the credit.
So what I’m trying to say is I have no idea what’s going on.
But DTF St. Louis is so much fun to watch! These hilariously flawed people were just living their lives until it became too much to bear.
We’ll just have to keep watching to see how it all plays out.
