Trying to fix her marriage, Allison comes in contact with Noah on a resort where they both where vacating. little did she know that the sparks between them will lead them into more temptations beyond their control.
[Alison's] entire walk in the woods with house owner Robert where she comes to these realizations is wonderfully written and acted, and this... elevates the Alison half of the episode to genuinely compelling.
Episode three of this season is the first time I felt like The Affair had anything thematically meaningful to say about love, divorce, and relationships.
It felt as if we got a very clear picture of the two of them and all of their failings, both just a little bit afraid the other might want to give up on the other, even after all they had been through to get this far. It was beautifully moving.
Let's also take a moment to appreciate Julia Goldani Telles's comedic spoiled-brat excellence here, as she winds up with the best lines of the episode.
