In an era of ghost kitchens and gig app anonymity, it’s easy to forget that food delivery used to be, well, kind of intimate. You had a place. You had a person. Maybe they knew your usual order. Maybe they handed you your bag with a little eye contact and a smile. It wasn’t groundbreaking — just human. Which is exactly what makes the new episode of “Poker Face,” titled “One Last Job,” feel so unexpectedly tender: it sneaks a quiet love story into the middle of a heist, starring a delivery girl, a lonely man and a very well-timed order of samosas.
Set just days before Black Friday in a big-box appliance store called SuperSave, the episode follows Kendall, an action movie-obsessed employee with dreams of Hollywood, and Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), the show’s signature sleuth, who stumbles into a murder while working as a delivery driver at a local Indian restaurant.
