Beautiful
Charlie's involvement in the crime is contrived and sloppy, with a sloppy way of getting involved. The situation with Mercer is also niggling, as he seems to be meticulous. These issues indicate potential future writing. The mystery has many twists, and the verdict on its fate is still uncertain. The characters are a mixed bag, and there's a lot going on, leaving room for further twists. With two episodes released today, it's hopeful that answers will be provided in the follow-up. In the first episode of City on Fire, Mercer, a man, calls for police assistance after a girl named Samantha is found lying on the ground with blood on her face. A boy named Charlie, who is at therapy, shares a flashback about meeting Samantha and a time when they went to a record store together. They share a moment of interest, where Charlie shares that his father died last year and he has been attending therapy since. Sam brightens Charlie's day by giving him her "zine" and announcing that he will be her new project. The couple continues to hang out, trying cigarettes for the first time and buying new threads. Dr. Altschul believes that he is using Sam as a shield against the hard reality of facing his father's death. Meanwhile, Regan receives a message from a girl stating that he is 1lying to her, which she finds unsettling. Regan confronts her partner Keith, who claims it was her fault, leading her to move out. In the hallway, Regan encounters Mercer, who is a narcicisstic artist and estranged brother of Regan. William, William's partner, gives him a new iMac, which he uses for his artistic endeavors. William and Sol, along with Sam and other rebels, plan to reunite the band on the Fourth of July. Regan's husband, Keith, is delusional and believes therapy can fix their problems. However, there is no solution, and Keith's lover, Samantha, is worried about something bad happening. Keith warns Sam to stay away, but she is more concerned about something else that could potentially blow up. On the Fourth of July, Charlie and Sam head to see the band at a club. Sam, frazzled and struggling to hold it together, abandons him and leaves, claiming she needs to do something and will return in an hour. In the episode, Keith waits for Keith, but he decides to continue driving. Regan and Mercer meet at a soiree, and Regan is drunk and a mess. She goes to the rooftop to relieve stress, believing it will help numb the pain. Mercer confesses to Regan about his true feelings for William, but isn't sure if it's reciprocated. They get on well and coanfide in each other. Charlie is in the club with Sam's crew, but they learn he knows Sam. They leave him with Nicky, the frontrunner for the band, who encourages him to do coke. William shows up just before he sniffs a line. Sam goes into the park, where she's confronted by someone. A couple of bangs echo up to the rooftop, and Mercer realizes it's gunshots. Regan shrugs it off, claiming it's fireworks. Regan introduces him to Amory Gould, who reveals Regan's father is about to get arrested for wire fraud. Mercer is also in an uncomfortable position when he hears someone sobbing and calling for help in the park. He sees Sam in a pool of her own blood, so he calls the cops for help. Charlie shows up and sees Sam on the floor, urinates himself, and urinates himself. As the feds show, he races off, ditching his trousers and throwing them in the bushes nearby. Unfortunately, Mercer is arrested as the suit jacket he was wearing sports drugs inside.
