Zoe
The Afterparty Season 1 Episode 6 begins with the attention turning to Zoe for the next stage of this investigation. This time though the entire visual palette changes to that of an animation, as Zoe believes her “fun zone” has been stuck inside her head and it’s only at the reunion that she’s unleashed. ..
Zoe’s storytelling style is effective in capturing Danner’s attention. She claims this story is only a metaphor, but eventually the story moves forward. ..
Zoe shows up to the party and wants to get drunk with the two Jennifers. However, they’re both pregnant and Zoe also sees everyone looking at her and pitying the woman over her divorce. So in order to quell that, Zoe steps up and sings. ..
Zoe was not actually singing to Aniq, she was literally just trying to stop everyone from looking at her like the poor divorced woman she believed they were perceiving her to be. ..
Aniq and Yasper manage to leave the former’s phone inside and listen to this whole conversation.
The rest of the story progresses just like we’ve seen, only this time with zanier visuals and stoner Zoe joining the fray just before the big kiss with Aniq. Or, not, given her daughter shows up on the timeline.
Meanwhile, Yasper and Aniq are trapped in a hidden safe room which happens to have security footage for all over Xavier’s house. As they’re in the room, Zoe continues her story as she stays with Xavier, complete with the helicopter ride and hanging in Xavier’s room. The thing is, he talks about himself the entire time.
Zoe and Aniq’s relationship starts out rocky, but eventually they start to sing together. However, when Aniq starts to vomit, their relationship takes a turn for the worse. ..
Zoe is the one who drew all over Aniq’s face after this, while Zoe lets loose and allows herself to enjoy the party. The only confession Zoe has to make is that she believes no one actually killed Xavier.
The captain rings Danner and tells him that his time on the case is over. Danner is disappointed, but agrees to look into saving Aniq.
The Episode Review
In this episode, there was very little going on. Zoe didn’t kill Xavier, and the entire episode recap everything we already know with an animation filter.
The Afterparty has had a strong start, but the past few episodes haven’t added much to the plot. This is a real shame as there is potential with this series. ..

This revelation raises many questions about the character’s past and future, and leaves fans eager to see what comes next in the series. ..
