1"Chapter 1: Homme Fatale" Brit Marling Brit Marling & Zal Batmanglij November 14, 2023 (2023-11-14)
Darby Hart is an amateur detective, skilled hacker, and author of the true crime book The Silver Doe, written about her experience solving cold cases of female murder victims in the United States with her former partner Bill. She gets invited to a secluded retreat by billionaire Andy Ronson via his AI Assistant, Ray, along with eight other guests. At a welcoming dinner Darby is shocked to see Bill sitting across from her, considering the two had not seen each other in six years. Later that night, Darby knocks on Bill's door but he does not answer. She then goes outside to check on him through the window. To her surprise, she sees Bill covered in blood and gasping for his life. When Darby tries to call for help, Bill pleads with her to stay with him as he eventually goes unconscious. In a flashback to six years earlier, Darby and Bill explore the former residence of a suspected serial killer and discover the remains of the first victim in the basement. A mysterious figure suddenly appears at the top of the stairs and holds Darby and Bill at gunpoint. Presumably the following morning, Darby wakes up to find that Bill has left her.
2"Chapter 2: The Silver Doe"Zal BatmanglijBrit Marling & Zal Batmanglij and Melanie Marnich & Rebecca Roanhorse November 14, 2023 (2023-11-14)
Darby goes back inside where, despite Sian's CPR efforts, Bill is pronounced dead. Sian suspects that a morphine overdose may have caused his death. When Andy announces Bill's death the next morning Darby is convinced that Bill did not die from an overdose so she enters his room to investigate. With Ray's assistance, she examines Bill's body and finds neither evidence of self-injection nor fingerprints on the syringe. Lee unexpectedly enters to examine the scene as well. Darby confides in Lee about her discovery and her suspicion that someone at the retreat is the killer. Lee encourages Darby to hack into the hotel's security system to review the camera footage where Darby identifies David, Ziba, and a mysterious masked figure in the footage. In a series of flashbacks, a younger Darby frequently accompanies her father, a coroner, to crime scenes. On one occasion, Darby finds a pair of silver earrings near some bone remains, takes them home, and begins online research about the earrings. In doing so, Darby meets Bill who shares her interests. The two eventually meet for the first time at a bar.
