A strong episode of The Affair is all about Noah and Alison and focuses on the future…

The Affair Season 2 Episode 3

This review of The Affair contains spoilers.

If youre having difficulty with the end, then youve fucked up the beginning.

I almost responded as viscerally as Whitney did when I saw what was going on here.

), and that Scotty had also managed to get Whitney pregnant (!!).

Not long after Noah and Alison are sharing some afternoon delight, theyre at odds with one another.

That being said, the topic of contention between them is that of swimming.

Their usually Teflon relationship is beginning to take shrapnel.

it’s possible for you to only tread water for so long before your legs give out.

That doesnt matter though.

Alisons segment is full of her painting the relationships in her life in a much more fractured light.

The episode certainly doesnt squander the opportunity of having Whitney around.

Alisons half of this episode is sorely without Noahs amazing love speech.

Id lean towards the latter opinion though as her segment is consistently painted in this light.

In fact, sometimes they can be helpful.

They might actually augment each other.

If you cant share everything completely with someone, sometimes just them trying to understand can be enough.
