In the fourth episode of HBO’s ‚The Idol,‘ Tedros and Jocelyn go to war after a bizarre, kinky recording session.
“There is some kinky-ass shit in this house,” says Destiny in the fourth episode of HBO’s “The Idol,” apparently assuming the role of this series’ viewers. “This shit is weird, scary shit.”
As the Weeknd’s Tedros tightens his grip on Lily-Rose Depp’s Jocelyn — both metaphorically and literally, with his hands around her waist in the studio — her managers, played by Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Hank Azaria, plot to save their troubled client from the predatory nightclub mogul.
At the beginning of the episode, Destiny (Randolph) and Chaim (Azaria) run through Tedros’ rap sheet, which is full of violence and abuse charges. Oh, and his real name is Mauricio Costello Jackson.
So Destiny heads to the house to observe his streaming-age Manson Family as Joss lays down vocal tracks with Mike Dean, playing himself. “I like not having to make decisions for myself… because I trust you,” Jocelyn tells Tedros, who gropes her from behind as she sings into the microphone, with the gang watching. To get a better vocal take out of Jocelyn, Tedros ties a scarf around her eyes and says he wants her to be “at the edge of cumming.” He lifts up her clothing and begins touching her as Jocelyn orgasms into the mic.
In another room, the possibly underaged Chloe (Suzanna Son) performs a song for Destiny and tells her how Tedros saved her life: she was living on the streets, addicted to heroin, when he took her in and gave her a place to sleep (which, before Jocelyn’s house, was his nightclub).
