The episode features series regular Darius Epps visiting a mansion to pick up a free piano, where he encounters a strange man named Teddy Perkins.

Against the phone advice of Alfred, Darius continues his attempt to leave with the piano, and discovers that Perkins intends to turn the mansion into a museum.

In a deviation from the typical comedic structure of Atlanta, series creator Donald Glover wrote the episode and played the titular Teddy Perkins character with more of a dramatic/horror bent.

Darius Epps (LaKeith Stanfield) answers a message board advertisement for a valuable piano owned by a famous musician named Benny Hope.

This leads him to a mansion owned by a pale, idiosyncratic man with a mask-like face named Theodore "Teddy" Perkins (Donald Glover).

Darius hypothesizes that the man he has been dealing with is actually Benny, and uses the persona of Teddy to cope with his dwindling career and physical condition.

A malfunction takes him to the mansion's basement where he encounters a man in a wheelchair, dark sunglasses and heavy bandages, presumed to be Benny (Derrick Haywood).

Benny, unable to speak due to the bandages covering his face, warns Darius by writing on a small chalkboard that "Teddy [will] kill us both" and that he should retrieve a gun located in the attic.

For protection, Darius picks up a wrought-iron fireplace poker and locates Teddy upstairs by following the vague sound of light piano.

He enters a large study and discovers Teddy, alone, watching a home movie of his father giving Benny a piano lesson.

As Benny lifts the gun, a bloody wound can be seen on his abdomen, implying that Teddy may have attempted to kill his brother, and that his ultimate plan was to frame Darius for his murder.

The police arrive and haul off the corpses, along with the piano as crime scene evidence as a visibly disturbed Darius drives away empty-handed in his U-Haul truck.

[2] Haywood received a similar makeup and prosthetic treatment as Glover for the character, as the two were supposed to be brothers with the same skin condition.

[19] Complex's Khris Davenport compared the episode's dark and unnerving tone to the social thriller film Get Out,[7] as did Vulture[8] and IndieWire.

Junkee wrote that "Glover's frighteningly inhuman make-up is an eerie metaphor for the destructive effects of American racism".

[23] Director Steven Soderbergh called the episode the "most beautifully photographed half hour of TV" he had ever seen, adding that it was "COMPLETELY BANANAS".
