Episode 4 Recap and Episode 5 plot details

Agents Jordan and Cooper continued to investigate a se*ually transmitted virus that provides physical perfection but leads to a violent and explosive transformation. In the last episode, we saw Cooper interview an infected editor named Manny (played by Ben Platt). Manny gains superhuman strength and kills a doctor. Cooper starts a violent chase through the facility to catch Manny.

At the end of The Beauty Episode 4, Cooper finally reunites with a new Jordan. A new face is introduced in this episode, replacing Rebecca Hall, who played Jordan for the first three episodes of the show.

In the upcoming episode, we are expecting to see a group of influential billionaires gathering to make history. This gathering is expected to showcase how money and power attempt to dictate the course of the virus's spread and management. Ryan Murphy and Mathew Hodgson wrote this episode.
