Episode 7 of Tell Me Lies Season 3 might be the most emotionally devastating hour yet. Multiple relationships implode, Evan reveals himself to be far more sinister than anyone imagined, and Lucy’s grasp on reality becomes increasingly questionable as the weight of her secrets threatens to crush her completely.
Do Bree and Wrigley Get Together in Tell Me Lies?
The attraction between Bree and Wrigley finally boils over into a kiss neither of them can take back. Despite the obvious betrayal to their current partners, there’s no real guilt on either side. They devise a strategy to end their existing relationships first, then keep things quiet for a while before making their new connection public.
Wrigley follows through immediately, telling Pippa that their relationship has run its course and they’re better suited as friends. The breakup should be straightforward, especially since Pippa has been secretly involved with Diana. Instead, Pippa reacts with surprising anger. Whether she’s genuinely hurt or just wounded in her pride remains unclear, but her reaction makes what should have been a clean break messy and complicated.
What Does Evan Do to Bree’s Mom in Tell Me Lies Season 3?
Bree plans to wait until after her photography exhibition wraps before breaking things off with Evan. Unfortunately, Evan senses something is wrong and panics. In his desperation to hold onto her, he does something that crosses every conceivable line.
He seeks advice from Oliver, who he now knows was Bree’s previous relationship after their first breakup. Oliver clearly still has influence over Bree that Evan lacks. Oliver’s guidance is chilling in its manipulative clarity: Bree needs stability, and more importantly, she needs to be dependent on Evan for that stability.
Armed with this toxic advice, Evan volunteers to pick up Bree’s mother Mary from the train station. Instead of bringing her directly to the exhibition as promised, he takes her to a bar. He knows Mary is a recovering alcoholic. He’s counting on it. His entire plan hinges on getting her drunk so she’ll humiliate Bree publicly, leaving Bree emotionally vulnerable and desperate for his support.
The scheme unfolds exactly as planned. Mary shows up to the exhibition visibly intoxicated, causing a scene by objecting to her photo being displayed and attacking Bree verbally in front of everyone.
After Mary leaves, Bree confides in Evan that he was right about her mother all along, completely oblivious to the fact that Evan orchestrated the entire disaster. He compounds the betrayal by lying about finding Mary already drunk at the station, positioning himself as Bree’s sole source of stability while simultaneously sabotaging any chance she had at rebuilding a relationship with her mother.
Evan’s transformation into someone this calculating and cruel feels like a betrayal to viewers who saw him as the group’s moral center. The writers have turned him into someone almost unrecognizable from who he was in earlier seasons.
Does Lucy Get the Tape Back From Stephen?
Lucy shifts tactics, deciding to beat Stephen at his own manipulation games. She fakes continued affection for him, stroking his ego by claiming he’s her only real friend and that she’s ready to confess everything to Bree if that’s what it takes to earn his forgiveness.
The act works, at least partially. Stephen’s defenses drop long enough for him to admit he’s been miserable without her. He even offers to return the tape if she goes through with the confession. His real issue isn’t the betrayal itself but the fact that Lucy chose Bree’s friendship over their relationship.
However During an emotional monologue about how much Bree means to her, Stephen realizes Lucy will always prioritize Bree over him. He challenges her to confess immediately, and when she can’t follow through, he storms off.
What happens a day later gets genuinely bizarre. Lucy chases him down and asks to watch the tape, claiming she wants to see exactly how much damage it will cause. After viewing it, she tells him to release it because she’s exhausted from living in constant fear. Then, inexplicably, Stephen hands over the tape and tells her to leave.
Here’s where things get concerning: earlier that same day, Lucy had warned Tegan to stay away from Stephen. After supposedly getting the tape back, she has the exact same conversation with Tegan again, with no recollection of the first warning. This raises a disturbing question: did Stephen actually return the tape, or is Lucy experiencing some kind of psychotic break where she’s imagining scenarios she desperately wants to be true?
Do Diana and Pippa Break Up in Tell Me Lies Season 3?
Fresh from Wrigley’s rejection, Pippa seeks comfort from Diana, only to receive a second devastating blow in one night. Diana announces she’s abandoning her Yale plans to attend Stanford instead, putting an entire continent between herself and Stephen.
Pippa immediately recognizes the decision for what it is: Diana restructuring her entire future around Stephen rather than around their relationship. When confronted, Diana admits she’s not ready for the kind of commitment Pippa deserves and ends things.
Devastated and reeling from two breakups in rapid succession, Pippa calls Wrigley. Despite his growing feelings for Bree, he sleeps with Pippa after she begs him to help her feel anything other than the pain she’s drowning in.
Does Bree Find Out About Lucy and Evan in Episode 7?
For the first time in weeks, Lucy wakes up feeling genuinely peaceful, believing the tape nightmare is finally over. But Bree’s morning goes in the opposite direction. During a casual conversation, Pippa mentions needing medication for a UTI because she slept with Wrigley the previous night.
The revelation shatters Bree, who believed Wrigley had cleanly ended things with Pippa and was waiting for her. Feeling betrayed and desperate for something stable, she retreats to Evan’s apartment, ironically seeking safety from the person actively destroying her life.
While organizing remaining photos from her exhibition, Bree stumbles across an image from the coconut party that shows Evan and Lucy together in a way that suddenly makes everything click. The affair she never suspected becomes impossible to ignore. With Evan occupied in the bathroom, Bree reaches for his phone, ready to find the evidence that will confirm her worst suspicions and destroy what’s left of her friendships.
This discovery might explain her seemingly calm reaction to Stephen’s revelation at the wedding in the future timeline. By that point, she already knew.
Tell Me Lies Season 3 Episode 7: What’s Next?
Episode 7 concludes with several explosive situations on the verge of detonating. Bree is moments away from confirming Lucy and Evan’s affair, which will obliterate her trust in both of them. Lucy’s mental stability is genuinely questionable now. Her inability to remember having the same conversation with Tegan twice suggests she might be hallucinating the tape handover entirely.
Evan has revealed himself to be nearly as toxic as Stephen, using psychological warfare against someone he claims to love. His willingness to weaponize Bree’s mother’s addiction just to maintain control over her puts him in a completely different category than the supportive friend he appeared to be in earlier seasons.
Pippa has experienced dual rejection in a single night, driving her back to Wrigley just when he was trying to create distance for Bree’s sake. The timing couldn’t be worse for everyone involved.
The carefully maintained web of secrets is collapsing. With Bree on the brink of discovering the truth about Lucy and Evan, the entire friend group is about to experience the kind of fallout that changes relationships permanently. The only question is whether anyone will emerge from the wreckage with their friendships intact.
