Natasha Lyonne's episode of 'Poker Face', titled 'Last Looks', showcases her unique storytelling abilities as both a director and co-writer. Set against a gritty '70s backdrop, the episode begins with a dramatic murder scene from a film project that intertwines with the lives of Fred and Greta, a couple managing a funeral home. Conflicts arise as Greta yearns for freedom from their dreary life, culminating in her decision to seek a divorce, highlighting themes of personal ambition and the fascination with cinema amidst real-life grief.
Greta, meanwhile, has one foot out the door, as evidenced by the fact that she forgets to tell the Hoppenstammers, a colorful biker family, that their matriarch's funeral has been rescheduled as a result of the filming.
After Fred gives Greta another speech about how they are caretakers of a 'temple to the dignity of death,' she decides she can't take it anymore and says she wants a divorce.
