Bad Monkey Episode 3 Ending Explained and Recap: Who Killed O’Peele?

Bad Monkey Episode 3 is now available on Apple TV Plus and viewers want to know who killed Israel O’Peele and what Christopher’s true identity is. The series revolves around Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), a former detective turned food inspector who investigates an increasingly complicated case involving a severed arm. In episode 3, titled “Nobody Said He Was Alvin Einstein,” Yancy’s investigation leads him and Rosa to Israel O’Peele, a doctor who helped the alleged victim in an insurance fraud. Meanwhile, Neville’s desire to punish Christopher in the Bahamas drives him even deeper into the clutches of the Dragon Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) and her grandmother.

Here’s everything that happens at the end of Bad Monkey Episode 3.

What happens at the end of Bad Monkey Episode 3?

Yancy and Rosa’s relationship continues to develop in this episode, with Rosa effectively acting as Yancy’s partner as he investigates how Nick was killed. The two flirt openly, and Rosa even becomes slightly irritated when Yancy receives a call from Bonnie.

Yancy and Rosa talk to Madeline and learn that a man gave her deceased boyfriend’s severed arm to use as bait on fishing line. They follow the lead and learn that Nick has been committing insurance fraud with the help of Dr. Israel O’Peele. While visiting O’Peele, Yancy finds a brochure advertising Curly Tail Lane, the resort Christopher apparently wants to build in the Bahamas.

This episode also marks the first encounter between Yancy and Neville, the two protagonists of the series. Yancy visits the restaurant that Neville’s sister runs and meets both Neville and the monkey Driggs. After returning to the Bahamas, Neville and Driggs try to go fishing but find that the boat is gone. Christopher is there and announces that he was the one who cut the boat loose before shooting Neville and Driggs for trespassing on his property. This prompts Neville to return to the Dragon Queen and give her the money he may have gotten from his sister. However, when Ya-Ya realizes that he still doesn’t believe in the Dragon Queen, she demands that he hand over Driggs, which Neville reluctantly does.

Towards the end of the episode, Neville breaks into Christopher’s office and faces Christopher’s enforcer, Egg. Luckily for Neville, he has Charles’ gun with him, and that stops Egg. As Neville leaves, he punches Egg for what he did to Charles.

Who killed Israel O’Peele?

After Yancy and Rose’s visit, O’Peele panics and calls Eve. Although her words and invitation to the Bahamas seem to calm him down, he soon realizes that Yancy has taken the brochure. The next day, O’Peele writes to Yancy that he is ready to talk. However, just as Yancy arrives at O’Peele’s, someone shoots the doctor from behind, killing him. Since this episode shows that the flight from the Florida Keys to the Bahamas takes only 45 minutes, the obvious suspect, Christopher, is most likely the killer. When Christopher and Eve realized that O’Peele is just another loose end in their plan, they probably decided to take him out.

Who is Christopher?

At one point in the episode, Yancy visits Caitlin and tells her that he found evidence that Eve actually murdered Nick and hacked him to pieces. Previously, Caitlin was willing to ignore her suspicions because Eve told her about her share of the insurance money. She then travels to the Bahamas to confront Eve. At the end of the episode, Caitlin learns that Eve’s supposed boyfriend Christopher is actually Nick. The camera focuses on his amputated arm before the credits roll.

At this point in the series, we can assume that Nick/Christopher was a willing accomplice when his arm was chopped off, assuming he didn’t cut it off himself. This all seems to be part of Nick/Christopher’s elaborate insurance scam, including the missing meteorologist, a plot thread that remains on the fringes of the main narrative.
