Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers from the Feb. 4 episode of Hulu’s “Paradise,” titled “Agent Billy Pace.” “Paradise” twisted the knife with its latest shocker, revealing the tragic backstory of Agent Billy Pace (Jon Beavers) and his double-crossing ways between friend and boss Xavier Collins (Sterling K.

The heel-face turn from Billy’s villain origin story to his decision to quickly tell Xavier all about the missions Sinatra has given him — including killing people who have ventured outside the Paradise bunker and learned the earth is inhabitable — is cut short by “the biggest motherfucker” Sinatra’s got working for her: Billy’s girlfriend, Jane (Nicole Brydon Bloom).
Jane poisons Billy (set to a smooth cover of Poison’s ballad “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”) with a bottle of beer just minutes after he comes home from first telling Sinatra he’s done with her, and then telling Xavier he wants just one more night as “Uncle Billy” to Xavier’s kids before he reveals all the heinous acts he’s committed.
