The Affair explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship between Noah Solloway and Alison Bailey after the two meet in the resort town of Montauk on Long Island. No marriage is beyond temptation, and there is no refuting the connection set in motion when Noah and Alison meet by chance. What follows is far more than an intimate portrait; it’s a unique and thrilling narrative that unravels the dangerous truth layer by layer.
This was a juicy episode, written by the playwright David Henry Hwang... with flashes of dark humor in the second half (when Noah went to fetch Alison from the new-age retreat where she had been staying while exiled from Brooklyn).
Through tears, Maura Tierney continues her spectacular performance this season with this speech about Helen's love for Noah, even though all Margaret ever did was make her feel like dirt for choosing him.
The scene where Helen tells Noah that he's an excellent father to their children is a fascinating one because it comes from Helen's perspective, not Noah's.
