What is Maxine’s Next Move?

Episode 8 of Palm Royale begins with Robert, back in 1950, chilling in Korea with a soldier who’s quite the looker.

There’s a vibe between them, and before you know it, the soldier suggests they go skinny-dipping. Yup, they’re definitely into each other.

Coming to the present, the Dellacortes are getting ready for a family photo shoot because their big ball is coming up.

Norma, still holding a grudge against Maxine, is not shy about it. She even tells Ann that she’s so mad she could do something extreme.

Amidst all this, there’s a sweet interview going on, but suddenly, sad music fills the air. Guess who’s playing it? It’s Robert, looking all sad and stuff, playing for his prince.

Maxine rushes out to talk to him, telling him he deserves better. But just as they’re getting into it, a whale decides to crash the scene! Talk about timing!

Maxine’s top priority is to get rid of the whale at Dellacorte Beach because it’s ruining the business. But that’s easier said than done.

Meanwhile, Evelyn and Dinah, Maxine’s arch-rivals, are cooking up trouble by messing with her party orders.

They’re calling caterers, asking for weird stuff like cottage cheese instead of rib eye and sloppy joes without the joe (whatever that means).

Douglas, on the other hand, chats with Evelyn and backs out of her plan to swindle Linda. He’s got his eyes set on Pinky’s project.

Maxine turns to a women’s group now led by Mary since Linda’s taken a vow of silence. They’re all in to help save the whale.

After some thinking, Maxine decides to reveal to Linda and admits everything. It’s like a confession session outside Linda’s door.

Linda advises her to come clean with Robert. Meanwhile, Evelyn learns she’ll be living in a trailer and reluctantly agrees to help with the whale. She’s not thrilled about living on $500 a month.

Robert hits up a gay bar and bonds with FBI agent Tom, discovering they’re both gay. When Evelyn sees the whale up close, she’s mesmerized.

Meanwhile, Maxine struggles to figure out how to send the whale back to the sea. Douglas, aiming for Linda’s money, threatens to side with Evelyn if she refuses to cough up $3 million.

Palm Royale Episode 8 Ending Explained

Douglas buys a shiny diamond bracelet for Maxine, likely with Linda’s cash, and mixes up her favorite drink, the grasshopper.

But their cozy moment gets busted by Robert, who storms in demanding answers from Maxine.

Tom asked Robert to thank Maxine for exposing his scammy prince plan. Saved Robert, but who knows if he’s any good as a partner?

While all this drama begins, Norma, miraculously out of her wheelchair, tries to poison Maxine’s drink.

Too bad, Maxine dodges it thanks to yet another interruption from Ann. This time, Ann spills the tea that Norma used to be Axel’s lover, the rich old guy Dinah’s after.

Maxine gets a light bulb moment and drags Norma to Dinah’s birthday bash for Axel.

Meanwhile, Ann’s snooping around Norma’s stuff back home, sipping on that grasshopper. She finds something juicy, but will we ever know what if she finishes that drink?

At the party, Dinah and Maxine lock horns until Eddie crashes in, urging Dinah to ditch the yacht and run away with him. But Dinah ain’t having it and sails off, leaving Eddie in the dust (or sand, in this case).

Funny enough, Mary eggs Maxine on to keep chasing her dream of hosting the ultimate beach ball.

So, when it’s time for folks to give Axel their wishes, Maxine grabs the mic and starts making whale noises to help the stranded whale get back to the sea.

Maybe it’s a sign Maxine will return to her rural roots. Guess we’ll see.

In the finale, Evelyn’s left weeping on the beach while Maxine and Norma are chilling on the deck.

Suddenly, Norma sends Maxine overboard using her wheelchair. Meanwhile, Eddie finds Evelyn and showers her with dramatic compliments, and they end up locking lips (yikes).

Was Evelyn the Whale After All?

Maxine’s left floundering in the ocean, and the whale gives her a nod of gratitude (I’m lost, too).

But hold up, there’s a twist! Robert learns Mitzy wasn’t cheating with Perry but with Douglas.

He drags Douglas to the bar for a chat, but things go south when the place gets raided, and they’re caught. Or maybe Norma’s the whale reclaiming her territory!
