Who is the murderer: in the residence? Cordelia Cupp clarifies the case in episode 8
After The Residence has alternately declared numerous employees and outsiders of the state banket in the White House to be the main suspects, Cordelia Cupp once again passes her investigative steps in the final episode of the Netflix series. Together they ultimately stand in the Yellow Oval Room, the place where Wynter was murdered. Cupp knows that he was poisoned that a vase was thrown on him and that he was finally killed with a heavy fireplace watch. But who was it?
After the suspicion once again falls on Tripp Morgan (Jason Lee), Elsyie (Julieth Restrepo) and Bruce (Mel Rodriguez), who were seen one after the other with Wynter’s body, a completely new suspect suddenly appears: Elliot Morgan (Barrett FOA), the husband of the US President. He is said to have commissioned Jasmine Heney (Susan Kelechi Watson) by phone to seal a secret door of the Yellow Oval Rooms to cover up his deed. But Cupp quickly realizes: Elliot has no motif – and there is a person who can do Elliot’s voice particularly well, as we have learned in previous episodes.
Finally, the evidence revolves around Lilly Schumacher (Molly Griggs), the personal secretary of US President Morgan (Paul Fitzgerald), who organized the state banquet and all other White House. After a comprehensive dispute with Wynter on the evening of the event, she tore a page out of his diary, which reads, like a farewell letter. So she gives the plan to get Wynter to the route and to framed the deed as suicide.

When he suspected the content after a sip, he poured the rest over a bouquet of flowers that led it to wither. Lilly then threw a vase on Wynter, but hit the wall, whereupon individual splitter Wynter met on the face.
So Lilly finally reached After the heavy fireplace clock and thus closed the top Butler. To make the murder weapon disappear, she hid it behind the secret door of the room. When she returned to the Yellow Oval Room, Wynter’s body suddenly disappeared – and so the involvement of Tripp Morgan, Elsyie and Bruce started.
