In season 4, Dory is held prisoner by her psychotic stalker Chip. Portia is starring in a film about the trial, although not as herself. Elliott has switched party lines to become a far-right conservative talk show host. Drew is trying to escape his dark past by working as a costumed cast member in a theme park. As the friends begin to connect the dots that Dory might not be touring Europe as her faked social media posts suggest, they must decide whether or not to put their traumatic pasts behind them and once again become a search party – but this time, for Dory.
