'Bad Monkey' Episode 7 Ending Explained: Cliffhanger episode casts doubt on key character's survival
Warning: Contains spoilers for 'Bad Monkey' Episode 7
MIAMI, FLORIDA: 'Bad Monkey' Episode 7 is packed with surprises, yet its breakneck pace leaves something to be desired. With the finale just around the corner, some characters are finally getting the resolution they need, but it still feels a bit hollow. In this episode, Gracie's desperate situation unfolds as she's kidnapped by Eve and Nick, forcing her to accept $50,000 for the land.
Meanwhile, Yancy and Rogelio reunite to capture Mendez, who's been on the run since Yancy's arrest. But things go awry when Mendez breaks free, shooting Rogelio before Yancy kills him. As Yancy edges closer to reclaiming his detective badge, his romance with Rosa heats up. However, she's driven to quit her job after facing another traumatic case. Gracie's dealings with the ruthless Striplings also take a toll on her relationships with Ya Ya and her best friend Samara. Ya Ya, who molded Gracie into the 'Dragon Queen' after her mother's death, now sees her granddaughter consumed by greed and desperation, prompting Ya Ya to confront Gracie, ultimately leaving her to face the consequences of her actions. With Mendez out of the picture and Eve's plans falling into place, 'Bad Monkey' is getting more interesting than ever.
Does Yancy get his detective license back?
Yancy's moment of triumph quickly turns sour. Although he finally got his detective license back, it comes with a crippling warning. The insurance company informs him that his evidence against Nick and Eve's shady dealings is enough to help their victims, but not enough to put the Striplings behind bars.
Yancy is frustrated, feeling his hard work has been for nothing. He believed he'd finally brought them to justice. Now, he's faced with a tough decision. Take the license and move on, or reject it and risk losing everything. This bitter pill leaves Yancy wondering if justice will ever be served, as the Striplings continue to live peacefully in Andros, free from accountability.
Who are the armed men outside Yancy’s house?
The final scenes of 'Bad Monkey' Episode 7 wrap up on a tense note. After a long day, Rosa and Yancy find comfort in each other's company, sharing their struggles. Their quiet moment is however disrupted when Yancy's father shows up with Cody, who's struggling to cope with Bonnie's departure. Elsewhere, Egg provides comfort to a troubled Gracie, who is still reeling from Ya Ya's abandonment. Their consolation turns romantic, a jarring twist that vandalizes Gracie's compelling character development. It's a surprising move that feels out of character for Gracie.
The episode ends with Yancy preparing to open up to his guests at home. However, just as Yancy is about to do that, a couple of armed men who seem like they might be connected to the ruthless Claspers druglords surround his house. They might have possibly come there because Rosa investigated Nick's shady dealings at the private airport. Does this mean that she has directly up Yancy in harm's way? We'll have to wait until 'Bad Monkey' Episode 8 airs next week to find out what happens next.
