‘The Residence’ Killer Talks Fooling Everyone Until the Last Second: ‘It Was Fun as Hell’

Note: This story contains spoilers from “The Residence.”
“The Residence” followed an intricate whodunnit within the walls of the White House, bringing the identity of chief usher A.B. Wynter’s (Giancarlo Esposito) killer into the light.
The investigation was led by the singular detective Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), and found that it was Lilly Schumacher, the President’s social secretary played by Molly Griggs, who committed the murder during a pivotal state dinner with Australia.
Episode 8 saw as Cordelia enlisted the help of her suspect pool to narrow down the guilty party. For a moment, it seemed like Lilly’s sob story about wanting to cover up the crime for Bruce (Mel Rodriguez) and Elsyie (Julieth Restrepo) would let her off the hook, but Cordelia caught her in a lie about the “suicide note” found in A.B.’s coat pocket and was able to bring her to justice.
