If you’re wondering if things get better between Lucy and her toxic boyfriend Stephen in season 3 of Hulu’s Tell Me Lies, by the looks of the couple’s disastrous karaoke night in a new episode, the answer is a resounding no.
The new season hits Hulu on Tuesday, and Billboard is exclusively premiering a clip from episode 2, in which Lucy (Grace Van Patten) signs herself and Stephen (Jackson White) up to sing the Elton John and Kiki Dee duet “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” at a karaoke bar.
“Hey, you and I are singing next,” Lucy says, to which Stephen grumbles, “Nah, I don’t think I’m gonna do it.” She successfully drags him up to the stage, only to have him turn around and leave her to go it alone, insisting, “You’ll be fine.”
Anyone familiar with the four-week Billboard Hot 100-topping duet from 1976 knows that it definitely takes two singers trading lyrics to work. Thankfully, Lucy’s bestie Bree (Catherine Missal) comes to the rescue, as she so often does on the show, to help out her friend on the karaoke stage, as Stephen sits at the bar drinking his beer alone.
Watch the clip here:
The Hulu series, which premiered in September 2022, is based on the Carola Lovering book of the same name, which follows Lucy and Stephen as they meet in college and through all eight years of their rocky relationship. While it’s clear from the outside looking in that Stephen is bad news, Lucy matches the show’s title in the season 3 trailer, which ends with Van Patten saying: “I just really feel like things are gonna be different this time.”
Tune in to season 3 on Tuesday, Jan. 13, on Hulu, and watch the trailer below:
