The Idol Episode 4 Ending Explained

The Idol Episode 4 showed us a different side of Lily-Rose Depp’s Jocelyn. It first comes to light very subtly when Tedros torture Xander when the latter calls her a b*tch, she takes part and is the one running the show then. It becomes muddled who is controlling whom in this episode- Tedros or Jocelyn, who is the authority figure in this relationship?

Before we can get the answer to that, we are already at a party at Joss’ house where we see Dyanne and Tedros interact. Joss, sitting beside a very high Chloe, gets to know that Tedros asked Dyanne to get Joss at the club and, that the two are interested in each other. This really triggers Jocelyn in some manner and the next thing she does is texts Rob.

But, who is Rob? From the information we get through Destiny and The Idol Episode 4, Rob happens to be Jocelyn’s ex-boyfriend. He is a film actor and the reason Joss and Rob broke up was because the latter cheated on her by sleeping with his co-star. Rob, nonetheless, turns up at Joss’ house and is greeted by a condescending Tedros, who encourages him to drink while he himself is not able to stand straight.

However, Jocelyn steals her man from her man. She takes Rob to the bedroom and entices him in all ways possible. The result is short and sweet- the two end up getting intimate and having sex. Tedros even bangs on Joss’ door and asks her to open the door but, she does not. She continues her sexual affair with Rob as we see Tedros outside the door, in tears.

Before leaving Jocelyn’s house, Rob is stopped by Xander. He introduces him to a friend called Sophie, who is apparently a big fan of Rob. Under the ruse of taking pictures, Xander clicks some as Sophie makes herself comfortable on Rob’s lap. The actor is clearly uncomfortable by it and leaves, not before telling Xander to delete the pictures as they are suggestive. However, we do not see Xander deleting anything.
