Bad Monkey Episode 4 Recap: Why Did Nick Ends Up Killing Yizzy? Explored

As a die-hard fan of gripping crime dramas, I must say that Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey has me hooked! The unexpected plot twists and character developments in Episode 4 left me utterly spellbound. The revelation that Nick Stripling and Christopher are one and the same was a mind-blowing moment that I won’t soon forget.


In Episode 4 of Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey, the murder mystery takes an unforeseen twist, unveiling significant plot surprises ahead of schedule. The revelation in this episode stuns everyone as it is unmasked that Nick Stripling and private developer Christopher, played by Rob Delaney, are actually one and the same.

In the fourth installment, we delve deep into Nick’s past, tracing his evolution from a con artist to an individual driven to such extremes as faking his own demise. This episode further reveals Eve, a character played by Meredith Hagner, who cleverly manipulates Nick. Her influence over him progressively darkens his character, leading him down the path of more heinous acts, culminating in a fabricated death scheme and ultimately murder, all in an attempt to conceal their wrongdoings.

At a given event, Nick encountered Eve, who at the time was an aspiring actress grappling with the ability to cry on cue, and happened to be working as a cocktail waitress. Meanwhile, Nick was a solitary father endeavoring to raise his daughter Caitlin. In spite of Caitlin’s disfavor, Nick found himself drawn to Eve in no time. Eventually, they tied the knot, and alongside his friend Izzy, Nick embarked on a questionable venture involving fabricated medical prescriptions. Eve too participated, utilizing her charisma to aid the scheme.

In this installment, Andrew Yancy (played by Vince Vaughn) and Rosa (Natalie Martinez) carry on with their ongoing investigation. The narrative of episode 4 momentarily steps aside from their current case to delve into Yancy’s past. We get to see how he crossed paths with his ex, Bonnie (portrayed by Michelle Monaghan), and learn the reasons behind his suspension from the police force. This latest episode offers insights into Yancy’s tender side and sheds light on his past romantic entanglements, thus enriching our understanding of his character.

Initially, Nick’s venture experienced growth, leading Eve to consider purchasing a substantial plot of land. However, their scheme was uncovered by the tax authorities, prompting Nick to devise a ruse – faking his own demise as an escape route. Izzy was part of this elaborate plan, but events took an unexpected turn. Instead of escaping, Nick wound up murdering Izzy and others to conceal the fraudulent activities. Throughout these tumultuous events, Eve maintained her composure, exhibiting a calculating and manipulative demeanor.

Currently, Yancy finds himself in a dire predicament. Previously exposing police misconduct, his adversaries have tracked him down. As the story concludes, Yancy manages to make a crucial link between Nick and Christopher, only to be suddenly incapacitated by a deranged Nick before he can reveal it.

The first four episodes are available on Apple TV+, with new episodes released every Wednesday.
