It’s time for another female serial killer on The Hunting Party season 2 episode 4. They don’t happen often, but they are sometimes the most dangerous and scariest of them all, and that’s certainly going to be the case with the latest episode.

Dynasty star Elizabeth Gillies steps into the role of a serial killer on the new episode. She is Amanda Weiss, the titular serial killer for the episode, who has a rather personal reason to go on her kills.

The promo goes into some details about why Amanda started killing in the first place. After her sister died, she looked for someone to replace her. Well, not many people like to be abducted and forced to be someone else, so that usually leads to serial killers getting irate and killing their victims. That’s probably what happened in this case.

The question is whether she’s still looking for her replacement sister in the episode. Is it possible that the Pit changed her motive? After all, the series had us believing that Zack Lang was a Robin Hood killer, but it turned out that he had changed his M.O. to kill poor people rather than the rich.

One thing is for sure: Shane can likely rule out daddy issues for once. This time, it looks like it’s sister issues!

The synopsis details her kills even more

You may want to rethink the idea of getting a massage after watching The Hunting Party season 2 episode 4. It turns out that Amanda was once a masseuse, and she killed her victims by breaking their necks. Just think about how vulnerable you are when you’re on the table!

The synopsis does suggest that the trailer gives away the change in the Pit. It’s always so hard to tell with these episodes, though! After all, we can never tell which part of the story is in the past and which part is in the present.

What we are hoping for is more about Lazarus. Bex has found out who Lazarus likely was before she got a new identity. What does this mean for them now that Lazarus has taken over the search for the serial killers from the Pit, though? With everything we know about Lazarus and Shane, there are sure to be more secrets to come out soon!

The Hunting Party airs on Thursdays at 10/9c on NBC.
