Slings & Arrows Episode 3 ended on a cliffhanger as a duel broke out between Geoffrey and Darren. As we open Episode 4, Ellen’s house looks a bit like Elsinore must have looked in Hamlet Act V. Much of her furniture may not have survived, but what of her cast mates? Where are they as the sun rises?

In other news, Geoffrey has some much-needed therapy with Oliver and begins to get at what’s really bothering him. Is it all Darren’s fault? Or perhaps someone else from their past?

Most importantly, with only six episodes in a season, we’re halfway to the finish line! When are we going to start seeing some actual Hamlet performances? Holly’s plan to take control of the company is fully on display, and Mae, one of Geoffrey’s few allies, has been taken out of commission. Will the show go on?
