In the latest episode of Margo's Got Money Troubles, titled "Grudge Match," the drama heats up as Jinx Millet (Nick Offerman) finds himself in a tight spot. ShowtimeSpot has an exclusive sneak peek from the episode, which premieres Wednesday, May 6 on Apple TV.
The clip shows Jinx turning to his former wrestling colleague, now a lawyer and mediator, Lace (Nicole Kidman), for help. Once tag-team partners in the squared circle, their lives have taken vastly different paths. Jinx is a washed-up ex-addict trying to rebuild his life and reconnect with his estranged daughter, Margo (Elle Fanning). But things get complicated when Margo's baby daddy slaps him with a restraining order. Meanwhile, Lace has traded the ring for a career in conflict resolution.
In this episode, Jinx confides in Lace about a recent trip to Las Vegas for the wedding of Margo's mother, Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer), to her pastor boyfriend, Kenny (Greg Kinnear). The wedding was a trigger for Jinx, testing his sobriety. Can he stay on the straight and narrow and be the father Margo needs? The sneak peek offers a tense glimpse into his struggle.
Margo's Got Money Troubles follows Margo, a college student whose affair with her married English professor, Mark (Michael Angarano), leaves her a single mother. Strapped for cash and at odds with her own mother, Margo teams up with her wrestling-obsessed roommate, Susie (Thaddea Graham), to start an OnlyFans account. What begins as a financial fix becomes an unexpected creative outlet.
The series boasts a stellar cast, including guest appearances from Laura San Giacomo, Marcia Gay Harden, Kerri Kenney, Rico Nasty, Jon Daly, and pro wrestlers Chris Jericho and Rikishi. Based on Rufi Thorpe's 2024 novel, the show is created and showrun by David E. Kelley, marking his second Apple TV project after Presumed Innocent.
With a 97% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has earned praise for its heart and humor. Collider's Taylor Gates called it "an unconventional family dramedy that contains more heart and wholesomeness than the premise might have you believe."
"Grudge Match" is the sixth episode of the season. For more on Apple TV's latest hits, check out our coverage of Peter Capaldi's 'Criminal Record' Season 2 and how 'Pluribus' became a modern sci-fi masterpiece.
