‘DTF St. Louis’ finally reveals mystery role, building anticipation for explosive finale

For weeks, there has been wild speculation on social media about what character Chris Perfetti portrays in DTF St. Louis.

Now, when episode 6, titled The Denny’s Plan, is dropped, he has stepped out of the shadows.

The star, best known for starring in Abbott Elementary, has made his debut where, supposedly, fans expected him the least.

What unfolds in episode 6 is that Clark Forrest (Jason Bateman) and Floyd Smernitch (David Harbour) go to Chicago to find someone to go on a date with the latter at the Denny restaurant.

“Do you think you could get an erection from my friend for $900?” Clark asks Terry, a random waiter at the spot, leaving him confused and concerned.

But as Clark is desperate to find a potential suitor, Perfetti’s unknown character made an entry, saying, “I’ll do it.”

This is not the only shocking thing that happened in the episode.

Later, Perfetti’s character took the alias ‘Tiger Tiger’ on the dating app that is shown in the show and travelled to St. Louis to meet Floyd for an encounter.

However, a disaster was waiting.

When ‘Tiger Tiger’ arrived at the place, he was shocked by what he saw: Floyd, in person, was diametrically different from what Clark had shown him in photos.

In response, Perfetti’s on-screen role panicked and left, leaving Clark in an awkwardly tight spot.

Forced by the situation, Bateman’s character made a confession, admitting to Floyd that he had paid someone to boost his confidence.

This ending left fans on edge for the finale, which airs on April 12.

How many episodes of DTF St. Louis are there?
