Ricky Martin and Kristen Wiig in Palm Royale Episode 8
The Big Picture Palm Royale takes a somewhat cynical view of society as it portrays the insistent blackmail, bribing, and illegal activity of the upper-class citizens of Palm Beach. As Maxine tries to work her way into upper-class society using the illness of her husband's wealthy aunt, Norma , as an excuse, the ruthless society is determined to keep her out, and Norma is set on killing her.
Palm Royale 910 Chronicles a woman reconstructing her identity in the 1960s after being dismissed by her husband and her entire social circle. Meanwhile, Maxine learns more about whales and is particularly impressed by the fact that they once were land animals before "returning to where they belong." This strikes a chord with Maxine, who repeats the fact consistently, showing her feelings that she is a fish out of water. She eventually realizes the best way to fix her problem is to get the whale back into the sea. Using a yacht and a microphone, she impersonates whale sounds to call it back to the ocean, and the whale leaves.
Maxine's humble background doesn't fit with the society she is in, perhaps explaining her connection to a whale trapped in an unfamiliar environment where it cannot survive. Though Maxine maintains a positive attitude throughout the show, she is clearly overwhelmed in this episode, proving she isn't entirely happy with her situation. The comparison between her and the whale hints at Maxine changing her goal.
