In Budapest, Earn (Donald Glover), Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) and Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) stay at a venue for a concert.
While Marvy is initially supportive, Earn frenetically starts checking him and is booed by everyone present, forcing him to leave and not finding the phone.
Wiley denies being involved in the robbery and his talk seems to unnerve Alfred, as it appears to include many of his desires and past events, which could only be found in his phone.
Wiley once again deviates from the conversation, expressing admiration for Alfred's mixtape, Postal, and takes a guitar to sing.
"[6] Charles Holmes of The Ringer wrote, "For the show to compete with the landscape it created it needed to change, but within that metamorphosis a lot has been lost.
"[7] Jordan Taliha McDonald of Vulture gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Genuine connection is evading Earn at every step, and to uncover the source of this absence, he will have to embark on yet another quest for answers, an interrogation of the self.
"[9] Kyndall Cunningham of The Daily Beast wrote, "With this 'surprise' ending, I'm slightly worried that we're now going to have to be invested in this Socks character, whose presence hasn't been that amusing.
[11] Evidence used one of the opening scenes, where Darius planned to search the venue as he believes it may be haunted by ghosts, only for Alfred to state "Yo, as long as it's not another Milwaukee man, I'm cool", a reference to urban legends regarding The Rave/Eagles Club.
[12] Cracked.com further elaborated on Wiley, "if the unnerving events at the Budapest venue were inspired to some degree by the Milwaukee stories, Buddy Holly becomes an interesting thematic jumping point.
In Atlanta, Al's phone is taken, and importantly, it contains his new musical ideas, a literal embodiment of his creativity and artistry, stolen by a white associate.
Sure, he's not American, and he doesn't wear thick glasses, but he's still a scrawny guy with a similar haircut who also turns out to be a guitar player and singer.
