A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder episode 5 recap

As a seasoned fan of thrilling mysteries, I can confidently say that episode 5 of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has left me absolutely spellbound! It’s like the series’ creators decided to pack an entire season into one episode, and boy, did they succeed.


In simpler terms, the fifth episode of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” stands out as the most crucial installment in the series. In fact, it surpasses the significance of the season finale!

In episode 4 of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” it might seem like Naomi would spill her secret to Pippa about what she was planning to confess, but instead, we must wait until episode 5 to finally uncover the truth she had been holding back.

We travel back in time to New Year’s Eve several years prior to Andie Bell’s death, where we find Naomi, Max, and a handful of others enjoying themselves by dancing. However, as the night progresses, it appears that Max is driving under the influence and possibly intoxicated by something else. This reckless behavior leads to a car accident that severely injures someone. Somehow, Max manages to conceal his actions and escape punishment, but the group, particularly Naomi, remains haunted by this hidden truth.

As a detective with years of experience in solving complex cases, I can’t help but feel a sense of unease when it comes to the situation involving Naomi and her friends. From what I gather, they were all present when something tragic happened, and now they are being manipulated by an anonymous person who is forcing them to lie to the police.

In simpler terms, Naomi provided clues for Pippa to locate Max’s secret Instagram account, or “finsta.” This account reportedly contains a photo taken by Sal, which was posted after the time Max supposedly exited the party, contrary to what they told the authorities.

Essentially, Naomi and Max concealed the truth from the authorities to shield themselves, leading to Sal’s demise. For a long time, Naomi has been grappling with guilt over this act. Now, Pippa is aware of it all, and she could choose to report them if she wishes. When Max entered the room and menaced both Naomi and Pippa, Pippa reminded him of her ability to involve the police.

Who was responsible for Andie’s death if not Sal? It seems the key to this mystery lies with the one who is aware of Max’s actions. This individual appears to menace Pippa as well at a later time!

Following the disclosure of the incident between Naomi and Max at the party to Cara, Pippa heads home, with the inquiry taking a distinct course. However, another ominous text arrives, essentially urging her to halt her pursuit, but Pippa shows no signs of retreating. On the contrary, she remains determined.

After discovering Sal’s innocence, Pippa takes a daring step. She creates a video for social media platforms and shares it online. In the video, she pledges to reveal facts that will exonerate Sal. It’s a courageous plan, and we’ll have to wait and see how things unfold.

In short, things aren’t going too great for Pippa. During her brother’s birthday celebration over the weekend, she received another text warning her to abandon the case if she wanted to meet “him” again. It turned out that the one supposedly kidnapped was not her brother but her dog, Barney. After the party, Pippa and her family went searching for Barney, only to discover that he had been struck by a car and had passed away. The culprit drove off without reporting the incident.

Overcome with sorrow, Pip takes another significant step. She pays a visit to the police station and interrogates Dan, Nat’s brother, regarding his involvement in Max’s hit-and-run incident. Somehow, she has pieced together the puzzle and believes that Dan was the culprit. Dan confesses to aiding Max, but he did so because Max was threatening him with blackmail as well. It turns out that Dan had been involved romantically with Andie when she was just a teenager, which could have landed Dan in prison had anyone revealed their relationship.

Blackmail, blackmail, blackmail. 

If Dan refuses to assist Pippa with the investigation, it means we’ve hit a roadblock; subsequently, there’s another pause in the case.

Later on, Pippa concludes an English test and subsequently hops into a vehicle driven by Cara and her father, Elliott. Prior to this car ride with the Wards, Pippa receives a call from an older man who may have been dating Andie. However, it turns out not to be him; instead, it’s Naomi. This conversation leaves Pippa perplexed. Naomi apologizes for her dog and Pippa inquires about the phone being used. Naomi reveals that she discovered her father’s old phone and has since been utilizing it.

It’s Elliot Ward. He’s the one who was the older man in a relationship with Andie. What a twist! 

Astounded, Pippa can hardly comprehend it. Upon returning home with Elliot, she leaves her phone in his vehicle and uses it to trace his location, leading her back to the Ward’s former residence.

After this, Pippa contacts the authorities and heads towards the old residence of Ward. She suspects that Andie is still alive, and Elliot has been concealing her all along. Upon arrival, Elliot spots her and Pippa starts grilling him about his connection with Andie. Elliot confesses to seeing Andie, spending time with her, and being in a relationship with her, but he denies killing her. Furthermore, he insists that she isn’t being detained there.

On that fateful night when Andie disappeared, she asked Elliot for a large sum of money in a state of distress. However, the reason for her panic remained unclear to Elliot. According to his account, Andie supposedly fell and hit her head, but when he returned after seeking aid, she was gone, never to be seen again by him. He relayed this story to Pippa, but the question remains: Can we trust his version of events?

It appears everything is ordinary until Pippa spots a rope leading to the attic. Curious, she ascends and discovers another fair-haired girl, not Andie, who had been confined in Elliot’s house and kept hidden away.

What are you doing, my guy? Let’s watch episode 6 and figure out what the heck is going on.
