Contains spoilers for 'Palm Royale'
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) and Douglas Dellacorte (Josh Lucas) continue to face escalating challenges in Apple TV+'s 'Palm Royale'.
Their pursuit of Norma Dellacorte's inheritance and the elite lifestyle of Palm Beach has plunged them into a perilous situation.
The couple's dream of becoming rich is shattered when they learn that Norma won't be passing on her wealth to Douglas, but would rather fund a trust for the Palm Beach Pedigree Feline Society.
Maxine resorts to deceitful means to obtain Norma's conservatorship and extract as much wealth as possible while Norma is alive. Meanwhile, Douglas quits his job and makes a lucrative investment deal to secure their future.
Has Perry Donohue duped Douglas Dellacorte in 'Palm Royale'?
Perry Donohue (Jordan Bridges), Douglas' childhood friend and current ambassador, persuades Douglas to invest in a real estate deal.
To close the deal, Perry introduces Douglas to the Prince of Luxembourg, who agrees to collaborate with him.
Douglas plans to build luxury towers in West Palm Beach by marketing the Prince's name, anticipating that the condos would sell rapidly due to the prestigious association.
However, doubts about the deal arise when Norma's Rolodex reveals that Perry had previously bribed inspectors to cover up fraud in a previous real estate project.
As the deal progresses, Douglas asks Maxine to transfer huge sums of money to the Prince, Perry, and other contractors which raises further suspicions among viewers.
In 'Palm Royale' Episode 6, Robert Diaz (Ricky Martin) presents Douglas with a newspaper article mentioning Nixon ambassador Perry's involvement in a condo collapse scandal. This revelation alarms Douglas, prompting him to hastily leave the club, likely to confront Perry.
What's next for Douglas Dellacorte in 'Palm Royale'?
Douglas Dellacorte's fate now hangs in balance as he has already transferred money for the deal, which appears to be quite fraudulent.
By paying $250,000 to the Prince to use his name, and $500,000 to Perry for seed money, along with other payments, Douglas has effectively drained Norma's bank balance.
In the upcoming episode, we anticipate not only a strain on Douglas and Perry's long-term friendship but also financial repercussions for Douglas arising from his poor decisions.
His only hope would now be Maxine who plans to raise money for their lifestyle by threatening the elites to attend and contribute to Norma's trust in the forthcoming Beach Ball.
'Palm Royale' is available to stream on Apple TV+.
