The Affair - Season 2 Episode 9: Episode 9
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.

I'm not going to lie. I have no idea what we watched. Sometimes, things jump out seem to slap me across the face. Other times, I feel like I'm just along for the ride. This was one of the rides.

I think this is the first episode we've seen where we're in no character's perspective!

It's nice to finally answer the question that's been lingering in my head: What does the truth look like on The Affair? It isn't pretty. If anything, it's brutal and heartbreaking.

The Affair always features fantastic acting (Joshua Jackson and Dominic West are especially impressive this week), and it's almost a sigh of relief to get an uncomplicated look at the lives of these characters.

I applaud the show for playing with the format and changing up the story structure. It made for a more manic episode than usual, but I like that the writers and producers aren't afraid to try things.

Anyone who watched what went down with our four principal characters will know that we should all prepare for a substantial shift in the narrative going forward.

This episode asks a lot of questions, and answers none. It's an intriguing concept, but doesn't quite have the emotional weight to carry all the unanswered questions it leaves behind, making this not quite work as a single episode as well as it should.

The Affair has never been known to shy away from a big, obvious metaphor, and this week it totally embraced one, with the fervor of Noah Solloway after his fifth or sixth drink.
