Will Forte did not mince words about the years-long journey of getting Coyote vs. Acme to the big screen.

During a screening of the new movie set to hit theaters on August 28, the 56-year-old Hollywood actor issued an expletive-filled criticism of Warner Bros. after the studio shelved the film for 3 years. Will, who stars in the slapstick comedy alongside Lana Candor, John Cena, and, of course, Wile E. Coyote, voiced by Eric Bauza, slammed studio bigwigs who wanted to can the movie indefinitely for a multimillion-dollar tax write-off.

This comes after Will's iconic SNL character returned for a tongue-in-cheek sketch about the Epstein files during Season 51 of the popular sketch comedy series.

• Lip reader exposes Eric Trump's awkward conversation with Natalie Harp after leaked apology letter

Will addressed the controversy surrounding Coyote vs. Acme during a recent screening, during which he said, "You know, [if] Warner Bros. is doing that bad financially, well, I have an idea — Maybe don't pay your f----g head a hundred million or whatever the f--k it is. Pair that down a little, and, you know..."

The beloved actor's comments stem from the studio's controversial decision to shelve three feature films as tax write-offs, which was met with intense backlash from industry insiders and cinephiles alike.

The much-anticipated film was directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch, and is based on a 1990 New Yorker article by the same name by Ian Frazier, which follows Wile E. Coyote as he hires a billboard attorney to sue Acme Corporation for selling him faulty products. Will plays Kevin Avery, Wile E.'s lawyer, on the cartoon anti-hero's quest for legal retribution.

Coyote vs. Acme, along with Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, was initially shelved in November 2023, though the decision was reversed after public outcry, giving the filmmakers the opportunity to seek other distribution.

Warner Bros. officials announced that the film was completed but would not be released to allow the company to claim an estimated $30 million tax loss. Cast and crew were reportedly not informed of the decision until after the film was completed.

Will's comments about the studio's financials came after it was revealed that Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav received a total compensation package of $165 million for 2025, including a base salary, cash bonus, and stock, amid the ongoing merger with Paramount Global.

Lana, who plays Will's niece in the film, chimed in, "It's done. How could you not put that out? It just doesn't make sense," to which Will explained, "And I mean, look, I don't know the business stuff, you know, business stuff is... We just don't know. We weren't really told anything. It was just like, 'That's the decision.'"

The first teaser for Coyote vs. Acme was released on April 15, also known as Tax Day in the US, featuring the cartoon coyote hanging in the air with a sign that reads "Happy Tax Day" on one side and "Check Your Write-Offs" on the other before tumbling through the air into the canyon below, in an apparent nod to the behind-the-scenes drama.

In one trailer, the film was marketed as 'The Movie Acme Doesn't Want You To See,' further leaning into the controversy.

Ahead of its August 28 release, Coyote vs. Acme holds an impressive 96% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and has received major buzz for its slapstick capitalist critique and for blurring the lines between the real world and the cartoon world, much like its predecessors, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Space Jam.

The health of Norway&x27;s King Harald deteriorated over the weekend but he is stable now Mon, August 24, 2026 at 3:05 PM UTC 0 OSLO, Norway (AP) — Crown Prince Haakon visited his father King Harald of Norway on Monday at the hospital, after the king&x27;s health deteriorated over the weekend, public broadcaster NRK reported. The 89yearold monarch, who has been on sick leave for several weeks, was admitted to the National Hospital a week ago.

Mon, August 24, 2026 at 3:05 PM UTC

OSLO, Norway (AP) — Crown Prince Haakon visited his father King Harald of Norway on Monday at the hospital, after the king's health deteriorated over the weekend, public broadcaster NRK reported.

The 89-year-old monarch, who has been on sick leave for several weeks, was admitted to the National Hospital a week ago. He is now receiving antibiotics for a bacterial blood infection and has responded to treatment, the royal palace said late Sunday, adding that his condition is stable.

On Monday afternoon, the palace said there had been no significant change in the king’s health, and that “his condition remains stable.”

Haakon, his son, has been serving as regent during the king's time in hospital, the palace said.

The king has hemolytic anemia and was being treated with cortisone, leading to fluid accumulation in the body that required hospital treatment, the palace said last week.

Norway's prime minister sent his wishes for the king and said that “all of Norway is following and thinking about the king,” NRK reported.

“My strong wish is that he continues to receive good treatment from the good healthcare system we have,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.

Harald, who has been monarch since 1991, has been in and out of the hospital several times in recent years.

In February, he was admitted to a hospital in Spain’s Canary Islands during a winter vacation for treatment for a skin infection.

Two years ago, the king fell ill during a private vacation with the queen in Malaysia and received a temporary pacemaker there. Harald returned aboard a medical airplane to Norway, where he was fitted with a permanent pacemaker.

Victoria Beckham is famously close to her only daughter, Harper Beckham, 15, whom she shares with her husband, David Beckham.

On August 24, the brand founder reposted an Instagram Story originally shared by Harper of the two of them posing with water as a backdrop.

In the shot, Victoria wears a plunging, sheer dress and oversized sunglasses, while Harper has on a white spaghetti strap dress and heeled sandals.

The love is strong between Victoria Beckham and her only daughter, Harper Beckham, who just turned 15 last month.

On August 24, the former Spice Girl reposted an Instagram Story that Harper had previously posted, which showed a photo of the pair leaning against a railing with beautiful blue water behind them. Victoria wore a super plunging sheer gown and oversized sunglasses, while Harper wore a white spaghetti strap dress and heeled sandals, her long blonde hair stealing the show.

Harper wrote atop the photo that her mother is “My whole world,” and in her repost, Victoria added at the bottom of the photo, “I love you so much Harper!!!”

The fashion and beauty mogul then followed up with a separate Instagram Story of her alone in the shot, writing, simply, “Kisses.”

Victoria and Harper are “super, super close,” the mother of four previously told Vogue Australia. They bond over a shared interest in both fashion and beauty, and Victoria told Vogue in 2024 that Harper will be the recipient of her mother’s enviable wardrobe. “I’m not too precious about [my wardrobe] unless it’s Hermès,” Victoria said. “When Harper eyes up those handbags, [I say], ‘Not just yet.’ I love my clothes, I look after my clothes, and they are there to be enjoyed.”

At the TIME100 Summit in New York City in April, Victoria said that Harper “loves fashion. She loves beauty. And I’m pretty sure she would love to get her hands on those Spice Girls costumes.” But one outfit Posh Spice is absolutely not allowing her teenage daughter to wear? Her iconic black PVC catsuit from the group’s 1996 “Say You’ll Be There” music video.

In fact, Harper may well follow in her mother’s brand-building footsteps someday. At a Victoria Beckham Beauty event in New York City in November 2024, Harper expressed dreams of becoming an entrepreneur herself one day. Guests at the event were invited to write their future dreams on a card, and Harper, then just 13, wrote, “Create an amazing brand when I’m older.”

Speaking at the TIME100 Summit, Victoria said that Harper has been “obsessed” with Victoria Beckham Beauty, adding, “she’s been sitting on [her] lap through product development meetings since she was a baby.” Victoria later said on the “Aspire With Emma Grede” podcast that Harper is “a little entrepreneur herself, and I love the fact she looks up to what I do.”

Victoria added that Harper had even put together a PowerPoint presentation about her launching her own skincare line, telling her mother of her skin troubles, “I don’t want other people to go through what I’ve been through.”

Victoria also shares sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz with husband David Beckham. Movingly, Harper introduced her mother at the 2024 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, where Victoria won the Entrepreneur of the Year Award. While wearing—naturally—a Victoria Beckham dress, the then-13-year-old opened her speech by relatably saying, “I’m so nervous.”

She noted that “tonight is a school night. And hopefully this isn’t going to get me into trouble.” Harper said her mother is “someone I have always looked up to. She’s built an incredible business from the ground up and has showed me the value of working hard, dreaming big, and setting my standards.”

“She’s taught me so much about what it takes to succeed,” she added. “But above all else, she’s taught me to always be kind, and even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school.” Calling Victoria “a truly inspiring woman who means the world to me,” Harper invited Victoria onstage. As the brand founder took the microphone, she told Harper, “I am so, so proud of you.”

“Getting up onstage in front of a room full of people is scary, and you did it with such poise and such elegance,” Victoria continued. “I am so proud of the young lady you have become. You keep me grounded and inspire me every day. You teach me to see the world through fresh eyes.”

“And as busy as I am, being a mum is the most important job to me,” she said. “So thank you.”

Acston Luca Porto as Jake Kennedy and Adam Scott as Tom Kennedy — 'The Whisper Man' - David Lee/Netflix

Netflix is bringing Alex North’s best-selling novel, The Whisper Man, to life with a film starring Robert De Niro, Adam Scott, and Michelle Monaghan on Friday, August 28. It’s a chilling story, one that follows a widowed writer (Scott) whose eight-year-old son is abducted (Acston Luca Porto), resulting in him turning to his estranged father (De Niro), who’s a retired former police detective.

There’s a connection to a decades-old case of a convicted serial killer, known as the Whisper Man (hence the title), leading to the question: Did he have an accomplice? But where did the inspiration for this come from? Is it based on a true story?

Author Alex North answers just this in a section at the end of his novel. While it’s not based on a real case — though sadly, it could very well be — North was inspired by some details of his own life and put those in the book.

David Lee / Netflix

He wrote that he attended a music festival with his friends when he was in his 30s and, after having breakfast in the hotel (which wasn’t included in the rate for the room), he was called down to pay for it. But the woman in reception told him that he “just checked out” and handled the cost of the breakfast when he gave his name. “I asked her what the man had looked like. She couldn’t tell me. He had been in a hurry, she said, but there was nothing else about him that had stuck in her mind at all,” North wrote. “He had been so average and unremarkable that he could have been anybody — or nobody.” While he was “unnerved,” he was “also excited,” explaining, “The writer part of my brain was thinking, ‘Wow. This is a story.'” (It ended up being a case of the man giving the wrong room number and no name and neither he nor the woman at reception looking closely enough at his details.)

He had the same thought “several years” later. “When I first started working on The Whisper Man, all I really knew was that I wanted to write about fathers and sons. I had in mind a grieving, widowed man struggling to care for his little boy, and that the book should be a thriller, but I didn’t know much about what my main characters would be like,” North wrote.

Then, after moving houses, he heard his son playing in another room and seemingly talking to another person. When he asked, his son told him, “Oh, I’m just playing with the boy in the floor.” He had similar feelings to the ones he had in the hotel: “A chill went through me. But there was excitement, too, because this was a story. Right then, I decided that the little boy in my book would have imaginary friends, and that some of them would become increasingly sinister over the course of the story.”

North also wrote that after his mother-in-law died, his son told him that a woman came into his room and hugged him at night. That stopped after he followed the suggestion that he ask her to. “I am a rational person, and deep down I believe that was simply my son doing what all of us do to some degree: creating a narrative to make sense of his grief and to comfort himself,” wrote North. “And yet a part of me was still asking that question: ‘What if?”Those experiences led to pieces of what North put into The Whisper Man.

Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler have taken a few notes from each other on set of their new superhero series

The pair caught up with PEOPLE to discuss lessons learned on the set of HBO’s Lanterns

Pierre also breaks down the habit he adopted from Chandler and why he’s “been doing it ever since”

Aaron Pierre enjoys the “moments of respite” a little more on set between takes, and he’s giving credit to Kyle Chandler for getting him there.

The Lanterns star, 32, spent enough time on set with Chandler, 60, that he eventually picked up on a new habit. Speaking with PEOPLE about their latest HBO crime drama, Pierre shares what Chandler taught him in between their superhero scenes, and why it’s stuck with him ever since.

“I tend to, in certain contexts, follow a line and a rule that is sort of unspoken. So at lunch breaks and stuff, I would often just go into my trailer and eat my lunch, and then when they knock for me, I’ll come out, go to work again,” Pierre says.

He adds, “But I started to notice — it had to have been almost effective immediately — Kyle would always request this camping chair where he would sit out and he would just enjoy the sun and enjoy the fresh air, no matter where we were on location.”

That lesson, Pierre admits, soon became a habit he “picked up very quickly.”

“I would sit on an apple box or a camping chair and just enjoy the moments in between work that didn’t have to be in the trailer,” he says. “It could be outside enjoying the weather, enjoying your lunch and just enjoying those moments of respite in between the very rigorous work schedule. That was something I adopted from Kyle, and I’ve been doing it ever since really.”

While Pierre plays apparent new recruit John Stewart opposite Chandler’s Lantern legend Hal Jordan, Chandler did pick up on a few things from his costar in the process too.

“The word discipline shows up in my journals quite a bit, like, ‘I got to start over again. Discipline, discipline, discipline.’ This guy, he’s got really good discipline,” Chandler says of Pierre. “He’s got a particular discipline. I just mean, he’s disciplined.”

He adds, “I know him well enough to know that he puts his mind to something and he does it. He does it, it’s going to happen, and I’ve seen it. I know how hard he works and I’ve taken a lot of that. I’ve gotten a lot of that, and that’s helped me a great deal in my personal life because it’s an example. He showed me.”

While Chandler jokes he “could have used more discipline when we started the show” and Pierre “could have used less,” they ended up meeting somewhere in the middle as two superheroes would.

“I think that’s when we started sharing and we started having a really good time, and that’s part of it,” he says.

Lanterns, from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television, also features stars Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Laura Linney, Jason Ritter, Ulrich Thomsen, Nathan Fillion, J. Alphonse Nicholson and Jasmine Cephas Jones.

New episodes of Lanterns air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and stream on HBO Max.

Keith Urban had an emotional moment on stage while introducing his new song “We Go Back.”

Speaking on stage, he revealed that the song was about a couple who “had a good thing going until the guy screwed it up.”

Urban and Kidman divorced earlier this year after almost 20 years of marriage.

Keith Urban appeared to have an emotional moment during his show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on August 21. While introducing his new song “We Go Back,” the singer got emotional as he opened up about the pain of watching an ex move on with someone new. His on-stage comments come amid rumors that his ex-wife Nicole Kidman has struck up a new romance.

“This song is about a guy and a girl growing up in a small town,” he said to the crowd, per Hello!. “They were the first of their friends to fall in love. They had a good thing going until the guy screwed it up. I will do that.”

He then spoke about how this fictional man reconnects with his ex years later. “This guy can’t believe it. He sees the girl, she looks exactly the same. They start talking, they are getting along great. She tells him she’s got somebody else,” he said.

As he sang the chorus, Urban appeared to become emotional and could even be seen wiping away a few tears.

Kidman and Urban announced their plans to split in September 2025. They finalized their divorce in January 2026, after roughly 20 years of marriage.

“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that,” she told Variety in March. “Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

She and Urban share daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

The actress told British Voguein an interview published earlier this month that she never expected to split from Urban. “You make all these plans and you have all these ideas of what it’s all going to be like and then it’s… not. You have to adjust. You adapt. The future, it’s completely unknown to me right now. Strange,” she said, before adding, “There was a point where I was very fearful and deeply vulnerable, which is exposing. And then at the same time [I’m] going, ‘Well, I can either really not confront it and just curl up, or I can just go forward with an enormous amount of hope.’”

Kidman is now rumored to be dating private equity investor Michael Reinstein.

As for Urban, he recently gave his ex-wife a shout-out for her birthday, writing, “Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!” on Instagram in June.

Ruby Tuesday Matthews, 33, underwent an endoscopic lift procedure in South Korea to achieve a refreshed, youthful look

The influencer shared her swollen post-surgery recovery on Instagram and said she had issues accessing her iPhone because it didn’t recognize her face

Matthews said she shared her journey because she wanted to be transparent with her followers about the procedure

Ruby Tuesday Matthews has shared the aftermath of her latest cosmetic surgery, which left her face so swollen that her iPhone could not recognize her.

The Australian influencer, from Byron Bay, traveled to the Ilchi Plastic Surgery clinic in Seoul, South Korea, for an endoscopic lift on Friday, Aug. 21.

It is described as a minimally invasive facelift that aims to create a more youthful appearance, according to London-based clinic 101 Harley Street.

The 33-year-old said she was “sh---ing myself” for the procedure in an Instagram video uploaded to her Stories on Monday, Aug. 24, adding that the “goal was never to change the way I look.”

“I wanted to keep my face and my features — just look a little more refreshed and awake, while addressing some of the volume loss through my face,” she said to her 244,000 followers.

Matthews said the surgery took four hours in total and that she immediately went back to her hotel to get some sleep, filming her swollen face from her bed, along with tubes running down her body.

The following morning, she got her drain and tape removed and also booked an appointment at the Apple Store because the Face ID on her iPhone did not recognize her.

“Oh my god my phone doesn’t recognize my face, obviously [...] and because it has double-factor authentication for like every single app, I can’t log into my texts,” she said.

“I’ve got to go to the Apple Store because it still doesn’t recognize my face,” Matthews added. “[The Apple employee] goes, ‘I think it will recognize your face now.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t think it will.’ My face is like a little blown-up balloon with like eye slits. I can’t open my mouth.”

After adjusting her phone, Matthews said she then headed back to her hotel to get some more rest. “Day one post-surgery and I stupidly thought this was as swollen as I was going to get,” she said. “Little did I know I was about 24 hours away from inflating like a f---ing balloon.”

In a day three update, the mom of three said, “Right now, my face has never been this swollen in my life.”

She described the swelling as “uncomfortable” and said she has to sleep sitting up, adding that the third day is supposed to be the “worst” in the recovery process.

Matthews explained her reasons for documenting her surgery journey, adding, “I thought I might as well share this, because there’s no point pretending that I just woke up 10 years younger and not showing you this process.”

After receiving criticism from a follower, the influencer said being transparent with her followers was important to her.

“I thought I was beautiful before and I still do; I haven’t had surgery to change my face or become someone else,” Matthews said. “I simply wanted to look a little more refreshed, and my literal reference was a photo of myself five years ago, what you’re seeing now is swelling, not a new face, and I won’t be ashamed for being honest about something I could very easily have hidden.”

While King Charles has reportedly welcomed the decision wholeheartedly, the Waleses are not too pleased with the development. Now, as per Rob Shuter, they have come up with an idea to handle the Sussexes.

Sources say the Waleses intend to play the long game rather than engage the Sussexes publicly

According to Rob Shuter, Prince William and Kate Middleton aim to play the “long game” rather than deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in public. The Waleses’ brilliant strategy is surprisingly simple: do nothing and wait for the Sussexes to falter.

Sources revealed that William and Kate are sure Harry and Meghan won’t stay in the UK forever. The Waleses see the reported six-month stay as a temporary arrangement and believe time is firmly on their side. A palace insider dished: “William and Kate play the long game. They’re not going to fight them, brief against them, or get dragged into another Sussex circus. Their attitude is simple: sit back, wait and see what actually happens.”

The Waleses are also taking advantage of the fact that everything is uncertain and undecided for the Sussexes. As per reports, Markle was in talks to star in the third season of The Gentlemen.

An insider said: “There was never a signed, sealed acting job. Meghan wants it badly, but this was always a possibility, not a done deal.”

As per Rob Shuter, Markle is merely looking to expand her business and explore work opportunities in the UK. The former actress has no emotional connection to Britain. The source chimed in: “If the opportunity was filming in Canada, they’d be talking about Canada. Britain is about the potential work. For Harry, the bonus is spending more time near his family.”

As for William and Kate, they are seemingly aware that trouble follows Harry and Meghan wherever they go. “William has enormous confidence in Harry and Meghan’s ability to create their own problems. Why interfere? Every time there’s chaos around them, William and Kate look calmer, stronger and more dependable,” the source concluded.

- Christian metal band Demon Hunter is suing Netflix, Netflix Studios, and AEG Presents.

- The band alleges that the parties infringed on their trademark rights through the success of *KPop Demon Hunters*.

- Demon Hunter was established in 2000, and the lawsuit claims that the animated film is “annihilating” the band’s control over its identity.

Demon Hunter, a Christian metal band formed in 2000, has filed a lawsuit against Netflix over *KPop Demon Hunters*.

The band accused the streaming service of engaging in trademark infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair competition in the complaint, which was obtained by **.

The lawsuit, which lists Netflix Studios and live events promoter AEG Presents as co-defendants, was filed by the band’s company Hyde Lane in federal court on Aug. 18. It claims that the success of *KPop Demon Hunters* has overtaken the recognition of the band’s name.

“Defendants’ greater size and strength overwhelms Hyde Lane’s established identity, causing consumers to perceive Hyde Lane as affiliated with, sponsored by, or derived from Defendants and denuding Hyde Lane of power over its commercial fate,” the lawsuit alleges.

'KPop Demon Hunters' originally had nothing to do with K-pop, creator reveals

“These allegations are without merit,” a spokesperson for Netflix told *.* “Netflix has created an Academy Award-winning global phenomenon with *KPop Demon Hunters* that has inspired fans around the world with its powerful music, storytelling, and characters. We look forward to vigorously defending this matter.”

Since its formation, Demon Hunter—which is currently made up of members Ryan Clark, Jon Dunn, Timothy “Yogi” Watts, Patrick Judge, and Jeremiah Scott—has had albums land on the *Billboard* 200, as well as the outlet’s Top Christian Albums chart.

Despite spending “decades establishing, cultivating and further investing” in their brand, they claim that *KPop Demon Hunters *is “annihilating [the band’s] control over its brand identity, goodwill and reputation.”

The band stated in the complaint that *KPop Demon Hunters* has an “almost complete overlap with the goods and services offered by Hyde Lane under the DEMON HUNTER mark.” In addition to the film, which won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars in March, there is *KPop Demon Hunters* merchandise, a soundtrack, and upcoming world tour.

As a result, Demon Hunter is requesting the court provide injunctive relief, which would involve “destruction of all infringing materials in Netflix or Netflix Studios’ possession,” as well as damages and legal fees.

It’s unclear how this may impact the upcoming sequel to *KPop Demon Hunters*, which Netflix announced on March 12. Directing duo Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans are returning for the highly anticipated second movie, with the former promising “this is only the beginning.”

“I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters,” Kang said in a statement. “There’s so much more to this world we have built and I’m excited to show you.”

Mack Baltes, Warriors WireSun, August 23, 2026 at 5:10 PM UTC

Throughout the offseason, former Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson expressed his desire to play for a contender in the final stages of his career. After leaving some money on the table in a buyout negotiation, Thompson got his wish, as he now intends to join the Miami Heat. This will be the first time in his career that Thompson plays for an Eastern Conference team, but his move to Miami will also mark a reunion of sorts.

There he'll join one of his former Warriors teammates, Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins was a vital part of Golden State's 2021-22 NBA championship, making his lone All-Star appearance that season. In five and a half seasons with the Warriors, Wiggins averaged 16.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Now with Miami, both Thompson and Wiggins will try to add to their trophy case outside of Golden State with another NBA championship.

Lioness season 3, episode 4, premiered Aug. 23 on Paramount+

The episode sees Joe’s team attempt to rescue her from her Russian kidnappers

Viewers also watch as Joe and her team prepare to flip Russian assets

Warning: Lioness season 3, episode 4 spoilers ahead!

Joe McNamara’s (Zoe Saldaña) kidnappers remain one step ahead in Lioness.

In season 3, episode 4, Joe has been moved by her Russian kidnappers from a safe house to an airplane hangar. Her team attempts to rescue her, but when they arrive, all they find are traces of her blood and three Russians. Furious, Kyle McManus (Thad Luckinbill) kills one of the men and forces another to reveal the plane’s tail number.

By the end of the episode, Joe still hasn’t been rescued, prompting her boss, Kaitlyn Meade (Nicole Kidman), to visit the case officer’s husband, Neal (Dave Annable). She tells him that they’re close but still trailing Joe’s kidnappers, then lays out three possibilities for what could happen next.

“One, we beat the clock, and she’s home in a few days,” Kaitlyn says. “Two, the clock wins, and this could take time. Months. Longer. She doesn’t come back with three. Prepare for the third. That way, if it doesn’t come true, relief will be your reward.”

So, what else happened during Lioness season 3, episode 4? Here’s a breakdown of everything that unfolded.

What is the worst-case scenario if Joe isn’t rescued?

Following the failed rescue mission, Kyle and the rest of Joe’s team reconvene with Kaitlyn to debrief. The team is furious that Kyle executed one of the Russians, but he defends his actions by laying out what he believes could happen to Joe if they fail to rescue her.

“Let me explain what happens when they get her to a secure location. They either torture the name of every case officer, every safe house, every operation, every asset, or they drop her off in Tehran where she’s paraded around until she’s tried and stoned to death, or hung, or shot,” Kyle says.

“Or worse still, Iran hands her over to Hezbollah, which paralyzes us in the region cause now they have a female U.S. citizen convicted of Iranian war crimes,” he continues, adding, “I treated this like war. It is war.”

What are Kaitlyn Meade’s orders if the Russians’ plane is found in the air?

With the tail number in hand, Joe’s team identifies the aircraft as a Challenger 300, which has a range of roughly 3,400 nautical miles. But they still don’t know where it’s headed. With the plane’s transponder disabled and the pilots flying below 18,000 feet, air assets are essentially searching blind.

Army commander Amber Whalen (Dawn Olivieri) is assisting in the effort to locate Joe, and Kaitlyn gives her explicit instructions for what military jets should do if they make contact with the aircraft.

“If located in U.S. airspace, our jets maneuver to force landing,” Kaitlyn tells Amber. “If found in international airspace, they are to engage.”

In other words, once Joe’s plane leaves U.S. airspace, the priority shifts from rescuing her to preventing her captors from reaching their destination — even if that means shooting down the aircraft with Joe still on board.

What is the goal of Operation Treasure?

Halfway through episode 4, the timeline jumps back to before Joe was captured, revealing how she set Operation Treasure in motion to identify who ordered the attack on her home.

Amber explains to Kaitlyn and Deputy CIA Director Byron Westfield (Michael Kelly) that when Russian intelligence develops a source into an asset, that person’s identity is shared among SVR handlers to prevent multiple officers from targeting the same recruit. What isn’t shared, however, is the identity of the handler who recruited them. That means Ukrainian double agent Oleksandra Balakin (Elizaveta Neretin) knows which people in her network have been recruited by Russia, but not who is controlling them.

Joe’s plan is to use that gap in information to their advantage by placing a Lioness close to each asset and offering them “a way out in exchange for identifying the handler controlling them.”

Essentially, Joe’s team plans to turn Russia’s own tactics against them: honeypot the assets, convince them to expose their handlers and then detain and deport every handler they identify.

What favor does Maxim ask of Byron?

With Operation Treasure underway, Kaitlyn and Byron meet with Russian Deputy Ambassador Maxim (Lev Gorn) at his request. They suspect Maxim wants information about the disappearance of Aleksi Yurimov (Jack Dimich), the head of Russia’s Special Tasks Department (SSD), who is now in U.S. custody.

Maxim does just that, though he carefully avoids mentioning Yurimov by name.

“We lost something that is very valuable to our president. We think maybe it was stolen, this thing. Maybe you know where it is?” he asks Kaitlyn and Byron.

Byron makes it clear that they might be willing to help — for a price — but Maxim first has to formally ask. Maxim balks at the proposition, refusing to make an explicit request that would acknowledge what Russia has lost.

“Byron, I can’t ask,” he says before leaving. “But if you find it, you’ll know, and we’ll want it back.”

After the Russian deputy ambassador leaves, Kaitlyn discovers a recording device hidden beneath the table — presumably planted by Maxim in the hopes that she and Byron might let something slip once he’s gone.
