Snap Decisions: Trying Season 5 Episode 3 Arrives Right on Schedule

The Wednesday ritual continues. Trying Season 5, Episode 3, “The Mousetrap,” drops on Apple TV+ this week, keeping fans locked into Nikki and Jason’s ever-chaotic, ever-charming world. With Kat’s disruptive return still rippling through the family and Nikki juggling a new job (and a new crush), episode three promises to tighten the traps this season has been setting.

What to Expect

Trying has built its fifth season around characters standing at personal crossroads — Nikki settling into her travel-industry job, Jason chasing a new career in social work, and Karen wrestling with a discovery that’s already upended her household. Episode 3 picks up right where that momentum left off, and the title alone hints at schemes, secrets, or a trap someone’s about to walk right into. Apple TV releases its originals globally at the same time rather than local midnight, so most viewers can expect the episode waiting for them first thing Wednesday morning.

Why Fans Keep Coming Back

Few shows balance comedy and genuine emotional weight the way Trying does. Since debuting on Apple TV+ in 2020, the series — detailed further on its Wikipedia page — has built a loyal following on the strength of Esther Smith and Rafe Spall’s chemistry and the show’s refusal to treat its characters’ flaws as anything but relatable. Season 5 has continued that streak, and Episode 3 looks set to keep the streak alive.
