Actors Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Stephan James have an on-screen chemistry that entices and excites.
The crux of this episode turns on the relationship between Baden and Sophie.
Sophie cant remember the encounter, so the flashback is driven by Badens memory of the moment.
He recalls that she seemed agitated, and then she invited him for a drink at her favorite bar.
There are a few snags in their reunion, though.
When Sophie goes to look for Baden at an SFPD precinct, shes told he doesnt work there.
But then Baden immediately clears this up by telling her hes an undercover narcotics officer.
The Baden misunderstanding is just one of a few red herrings in the narrative thus far.
This episode also sees Caroline finding Sophie to explain her shady phone call from the previous episode.
However, on the day of the accident, Sophie reached out and left a message for Caroline.
Also, why was she getting on a ferry at all?
Where was it even going?
TBD, I guess.
James continues to be the worst when it comes to his controlling attitude and boundary crossing.
Hes also been hiding the particulars of the big investigation at his workplace from her.
Instead, I have a theory.
What if Sophie stole the money?
In addition, the portrait thats being painted of pre-accident Sophie is colored with ruthlessness and impulsivity.
So … what if shes responsible?
And someone tried to snuff her out so they could nab the cash and run?
This show is starting to get very fun to theorize about because literally anything is possible.
It does appear as if James is about to be in big trouble for something.
And his friend Harrison (Francois Arnaud) is starting to get suspicious.
Lets take a brief detour to talk about Harrison.
Hes been on the periphery since the beginning, and hes got a slimy frat bro air about him.
Maybe he pushed Sophie off the boat?
Shes trying to get him the hell out of the club when James sidles up to the bar.
The conclusion of the episode sees Sophie visiting Baden after hours and demanding answers.
Baden throws down a gauntlet, asking whether she trusts him or her husband.
What else might she have hidden in her cavernous closet?
