The matriarch of the Winbury family, Aquaman star Nicole Kidman plays Greer Garrison Winbury in The Perfect Couple.

Greer's intention in Episode 5 is to announce a new direction for her books, away from the Dash and Dolly series. However, the book launch ends up being something of a disaster after her husband, Tag (Schreiber), drunkenly stumbles in and reveals they are not, in fact, the perfect couple.

A flashback at the end of the episode reveals that Greer was watching Merritt (Meghann Fahy) on the beach the night she was murdered, which paints her as a likely suspect.

Liev Schreiber - Tag Winbury

Liev Schreiber stars in Episode 5 as Tag Winbury, Greer's husband and father to his three sons.

This episode sees Tag siloed from the rest of the story as he is questioned by the police as a suspect in Merritt's murder - the woman he was secretly having an affair with. He eventually escapes the police's grasp by providing a solid alibi and returns to drunkenly crash Greer's book launch.

It's also revealed via one of Tag's flashbacks that Merritt was pregnant with his child. While Tag initially claims he is happy, later he tells Merritt the timing is not right for them, and they have a fight, leading to Merritt storming away onto the beach.

Schreiber is an Emmy and Golden Globe nominee for his role in Ray Donovan.
