Ah, "the plot thickens". This is a phrase we use when a situation becomes more complex or interesting. It has roots in literature - think of a book where the story, or plot, gets more involved and intricate as you turn the pages. That's similar to how we use it in real life. If you're involved in a situation or hearing a story that becomes more puzzling or tantalizing, you might say "the plot thickens" to acknowledge the growing complexity.
