This new twist sees Sophie vacillating between two personalities: a femme fatale and a petulant child.
Unable to wait for concrete answers, Sophie begins to seek out an alternate form of treatment.
She Googles her way to a company called Encounter Memory Solutions.
The sleek website promises expertise in trauma processing and memory recovery.
Now, trauma processing is undoubtedly something that mental-health professionals can assist clients with.
Memory recovery … isnt.
In the field of therapy, memory recovery is considered controversial and potentially dangerous.
But Sophie wants answers, and she doesnt care how; she wants them now.
Patience is certainly not a virtue that she possesses.
So, Sophie seeks permission to attend her quick-fix clinic.
She goes to Hannah and asks her to refer her out; its the only way James will agree.
But Hannah is having none of it.
Sophie is outraged, putting on a pouty face, but she quickly formulates a plan.
Sophie figures if she cant get the money from James, shell find it herself.
She heads home and rifles through endless drawers of expensive baubles.
Somehow, she ends up at a jewelry store where the jeweler knows her personally.
Someone didnt think things through.
Sophies experience at the clinic does immediately raise alarm bells.
After the mini-consultation, the guy steers Sophie toward the sensory deprivation tank.
As she floats, Sophie does recall snippets of memory.
And then shes with the mystery girl who called her Tess in her earlier memory.
None of it is particularly helpful, but Sophie feels like something has been knocked loose.
Its a pretty amazing plan, but its again born of impatience and petulance.
goes away, and she can go live happily ever after with this other man that she hardly knows.
Also, James isnt the most upstanding or forthcoming dude.
Before Sophie gets to hatch her plan, we see James sweating it out in his office.
(I am 100 percent convinced that pre-accident Sophie had something to do with this missing money.)
Sure, the girl is from a rich family, but how rich?!
Unless, of course, the money was used to save their own asses.
So, who is Caroline?
And why is she willing to go out on such a limb for James?
Shes in a slinky emerald dress and wearing a simple necklace with their anniversary date engraved.
She couldnt sell it earlier, but she found a way to make it work for her anyway.
Pre-accident Sophie sounds more and more like a rule breaker and a daredevil!
And James misses her.
It saddens him to think that she woke up one day and was just stuck with him.
Sophie sees her opportunity and strikes.
She catches him on tape saying that he owes $11 million to the company.
The next day, Sophie runs this information right over to Baden.
(Whos keeping secrets now, my dude?!)
Instead, the two of them fall into a lustful embrace together, and Sophie feels vindicated.
The conclusion of the episode sees Sophie attending another therapy session.
Hannah calls her out for acting a bit erratic and impulsive.
As Sophie scrunches up her face in protest, Hannah reveals that she knows about the other clinic.
And she will not be allowing Sophie to attend there any longer.
In response to this information, Sophie snaps.
You have no idea who he really is, she snarls.
Recovered Memories
Using hallucinogens such as psilocybin (a.k.a.
magic mushrooms) in therapeutic mental health treatment is certainly something that has been evolving in recent years.
Now, whether or not the information about Sophies mother is true is a different story altogether.
While Sophie is at the Palace, she runs into a sex worker in the lobby bathroom.
She tosses down a few hundos in exchange for a kiss.
The kiss is lackluster and chaste, but it does bring back another flash of memory for Sophie.
If the memory is to be believed, the girl that once called her Tess was also her lover.
I bet well be seeing more of this mystery woman as time goes on.
