Exactly seven days after its captivating premiere on HBO, "The Idol" returned triumphantly with its second episode, which is shaping up to be as provocative as the first.
On Sunday evening, viewers were treated to Double Fantasy, from creators Sam Levinson, Reza Fahim, and music artiste and now actor, Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd.
Episode two of "The Idol" revealed Tedros (played by the "Starboy" singer) gradually integrating himself into Jocelyn's (Lily-Rose Depp).

In Double Fantasy, viewers see more of Jocelyn's overt self-destructive behavior as she struggles with her grief from losing her mother.
It is apparent that Jocelyn still has not dealt with this tragedy despite its recent occurrence. Additionally, fans are given an insight into Tedros' unconventional day-to-day life.
To manage his nightclub, seen in earlier episodes, Tedros runs a cult-like management company and utilizes a shock collar on one of his clients.
