LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Idol' is making much noise on the internet, mainly because of its extremely bold storyline. The recently released second episode ended on a note where Tedros was seen giving a look to Leia. It clearly hinted that Tedros wanted something from her. Or is just using Leia to fulfill his ultimate purpose?

Izaak is one of the members of Tedros' cult. And he is extremely loyal to him. Izaak suddenly talking to Leia hints that there is some ultimate motive behind his interaction with Leia. Is Tedros trying to psychologically control Jocelyn?

Is Tedros using Izaak to distract Leia?

It clearly seems so! In the recently released episode, we saw Tedros talking to Jocelyn and side by side, Izaak is seen having a conversation with Leia without Jocelyn's knowledge. It's clear from the scene that Tedros can hear every word that Izaak and Leia were speaking on the phone.

On the other hand, Tedros is seen lying to Jocelyn and saying that he was about to sleep and was alone, but in contrast, he was surrounded by people and wide awake. It seems that Tedros wants Izaak to control Leia. And, he seems to be following the orders. Moreover, at the end of the episode, we see Izaak having an intimate time with Leia, while Tedros spends his time alone with Jocelyn. It shows that Tedros is using Izaak to distract Leia with his charming personality in order to spend time with Jocelyn.

Will Tedros be controlling Jocelyn's life?

Jocelyn seems to be falling for Tedros. She is seen calling Tedros throughout the episode. Tedros, on the other hand, avoids meeting her claiming that he is busy with one or the other thing. However, they finally meet at the end of the episode. And, in no time Jocelyn forgets all the sadness and gets over her mother's death.

Tedros is seen talking to Jocelyn and making her realize that she has been distracted by voices in her head. Moreover, he makes her realize that she won't fall out because she is worth relying on. Even though Tedros is seen embedding good thoughts in her mind, it seems to be just the start of Tedros' manipulation game. Once Jocelyn gets under Tedros' control, he might start using her according to his wants.

Let us further wait for the release of more episodes to see how Tedros and Jocelyn's relationship will go ahead.

'The Idol' airs new episodes every Sunday on HBO Max at 9 pm ET.
