Spoilers ahead
At Fashion Interpol, Valentina Valencia (Penélope Cruz) investigates the final images of pop stars who have been murdered, noting that they bear an unsettling resemblance to Derek Zoolander’s (Ben Stiller) iconic expression, “Blue Steel.” The latest victim, Justin Bieber, who met his demise proclaiming, > “You can’t kill us all, we will protect the chosen one,” adds to the mystery. In a poignant flashback, we see the tragic collapse of the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good, which resulted in the death of Matilda Jeffries (Christine Taylor) and the injury of Hansel McDonald (Owen Wilson). Following this devastating event, Derek loses custody of his son, Derek Zoolander Jr. (Cyrus Arnold) and retreats from the modeling world, isolating himself in “extreme northern” New Jersey.
