Williams as Ruth Truesdale about a religious sex cult.[90][91] The series premiered on March 19, 2020. Storylines between The Oval and Ruthless[edit]The pilot episode of Ruthless takes place alongside The Oval (the first two episodes) after Barry's daughter Callie is kidnapped by his ex-girlfriend Ruth, who is also the mother of Callie. Ruth arrives with three other members of a cult called the Rakudushis, who attacked the Hallsen residence. Their series storyline begins exactly after they left the house to arrive back at their camp. In the 8th episode of The Oval's first season ("Eye on the Sparrow"), the cross-over scene goes forward in the proceeding five episodes parallel with the storyline of the 19th episode Ruthless's season 2 ("The Raku Way") after a central character, who is a member of the Rakudushis, has escaped. However, parallels with the storyline from episodes 13 & 14 of The Oval's the second season of Ruth meeting with Barry have not yet matched with Ruthless. The storyline could most likely pair in the forthcoming second-half conclusion of the third season or the fourth season, and the timeline of The Oval's 17th episode from season 2 could possibly minorly contradict events during Ruthless the third season where a Rakudushi member named Manny appears on The Oval in slight hairstyle difference (dreadlocks up-do, which was cut late season 2-Ruthless) and clothing appears in his first form of the purple cloth. Later, his clothing was changed to a military uniform, which would alter the timeline of events leading up to The Oval's such as Richard going to the Rakudushis' camp to try and rescue Barry after his kidnapping from Ruth, in which season 3 haven't addressed how Ruth was able to leave the camp after member Tally escaped, while it's possible the events could still match within the timeline onwards.
