[Alison] Previously on The Affair...
Hey.
[Joanie groans]
[gasps] Wait, Joanie!
- Wait, wait. - [Alison] Joanie!
- What are you doing? - Let her do it.
[♪ pensive music ♪]
[Luisa] I can't stand feeling like this.
[Cole] Like?
Like I've done everything I can.
And still what?
This town is not my home.
Joanie's not my child, but I've tried.
Now Alison gets everything back, including you.
We lost our child!
I know.
How am I ever gonna compete with that?
I've proven myself consistently.
I also really need to consider whether my client is ready
for unsupervised visits.
The current situation has been and remains stressful.
[Alison] You could just say to the judge at our next hearing
that you trust me.
And you think I'm emotionally sound enough
to take care of Joanie.
Right, so I'm healthy enough to fuck,
but not to be the mother of our child.
There's a process in place for a reason, Alison.
No, I understand, thanks for coming by.
Would you mind telling us where you were last Wednesday night?
He was home. With me.
Cole will only ever see you as a disaster, Alison.
Whatever you do, however competent you become,
you will always be damaged goods to him.
[Alison] I need you to sign those, it's a "no contest."
I told my lawyer that I don't want
anything from you, I just want a clean slate.

_
[Gutteman] There are multiple things to consider here.
Whether my young client is even comfortable
in an unsupervised arrangement with Ms. Bailey
is only part of the equation.
Is Ms. Bailey actually prepared for this?
She still doesn't have a permanent job,
nor is she even divorced from her second husband,
who happens to be a convicted felon.
Your Honor,
Mr. Gutteman does not have his facts straight.
Ms. Bailey is partner in a lucrative local business.
And as for her second husband, Noah Solloway,
a judgment of divorce was just entered.
Here is a copy for the court, as well as counsel.
[♪ tense music ♪]
[♪♪]
[Judge] Mr. Gutteman, are you calling a witness?
Yes, Your Honor.
Um, I would like to call Luisa Leon to the stand.
[♪♪]
[Gutteman clears throat]
[gate creaks]
Raise your right hand.
Do you swear under the penalty of perjury
that the testimony you're going to give here today
is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
I do.
Ms. Leon, you have had the occasion to see my client
interact with her mother?
Yes, of course.
[Gutteman] And in the time since this court last adjourned,
would you say the relationship
between my client and Alison Bailey
has improved or deteriorated?
I would say it has improved.
In fact, Joanie already had an unsupervised visit.
She slept alone at Alison's place a few nights ago.
It was her birthday.
[Gutteman] I see. So it was a special occasion?
Yeah. She came home very happy.
But I would imagine you still have significant concerns
regarding Ms. Bailey having regular, unsupervised visits...
[Jessa] Objection. Leading the witness.
[Judge] Sustained. [sighs]
Mr. Gutteman, may I remind you
that your job requires you to be an impartial advocate
for your young client?
Honestly, I think we should stop coming here.
I'm tired of this process.
You know, Joanie loves her mother
and wants to be with her.
I'm not a fan of Alison,
but this isn't about me.
She should have her daughter back.
[Gutteman] I'm sorry.
Ms. Leon, when you say "she should have her daughter back,"
you mean you would be all right with
unsupervised visits?
No, shared custody, Mr. Gutteman.
I'm talking about shared custody.
[Gutteman] Uh, Ms. Leon, I think you're confused.
Shared custody is not an option on the table at the moment.
[Luisa] Well, maybe it should be.
[Gutteman] Um...
- [indistinct murmur] - No.
[clears throat] Your Honor, may I request
a brief recess?
[Judge] Counsel, you can each have five minutes
to speak to your clients.
And then I want to see you in my chambers.
[gavel hits]
[♪♪]
[inaudible]
[♪♪]
[door opens]
[door creaks closed]
What happened?
Cole is willing to settle on shared custody.
Will you agree to it?
Me?
Mm-hmm.
[laughs] Yes. Yes!
[laughs]
Oh, my God. What... this... this can't be real.
It... it was Luisa's testimony.
Did you have any idea she felt that way?
No, no, no, I thought she still hated me, I...
Well, she's a good person. That's clear.
We'll draw up the paperwork, but consider it done.
- Oh. - Congratulations, Alison.
I know this was awful, but it's over now.
Thank you.
[laughs]
Oh, thank you.
Congrats.
Thanks.

Hey.
I just dropped Joanie off with Luisa.
She told me where to find you.
Well, here I am.
I-I brought you some coffee
and a muffin.
No?
Okay.
Well, I'll just leave it in case you get hungry later.
[Cole] Wait.
[seagulls calling]
Look, I, uh, I just came by
to see if you were okay with what happened today in court.
Why wouldn't I be?
I don't know, you just seemed a little surprised
by what Luisa did.
Honestly,
it seems a little fast to me.
[sighs] Right.
You haven't exactly been a model of consistency
since you got back. You're still you.
What is that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Thanks for the muffin.
Wait, do you seriously think that
I'm... I'm not capable of having custody back?
I think that you ran away as soon as the going got tough.
So I just hope for Joanie's sake that things are
gonna run a little bit more smoothly this time around.
Wait, Cole, I thought you understood why I had to go.
Alison, I can't do this with you today, okay?
I got a whole crew showing up. My brothers are coming.
If they see you here, they're gonna wonder what's going on.
Fine.
[Cole] Congratulations on your divorce.
Right.
So that's what all this is about.
You told me you hadn't seen him.
Look. [exhales]
It was five minutes.
We signed and he left.
[sighs]
I thought you wanted me to get divorced.
I don't care what you do.
No, Gutteman told me that if I wanted my daughter back...
It's emblematic of the whole problem, Alison.
Wait, what "whole problem"?
I can't trust you.
Oh, fuck you, Cole.
[distant waves crashing]
[keys jangle, drop]

Dr. Parry?
Hey. [laughs softly]
Yeah, no, uh, yeah, I-I'm doing great.
It's so nice to hear from you. [laughs softly]
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
How's she doing?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
I-I, uh, I'd love to.
When?
Yeah, tomorrow's fine, I...
well, Joanie's with Cole, so it's perfect.

And when did it happen?
Eight weeks ago.
She's been on suicide watch since she got here.

Yeah.

Okay. [laughs softly]

Hi.

I'm Alison.
Can I join you?
Did, uh, Dr. Parry tell you who I am?
You're the patient.
That's right.
I was here for a long time.
How long?
Six months.
You must have been crazy.
[sighs] Yeah, well,
I had a lot to work through.
Maybe a little like you.
[Kendra] I have to go home next week.
My parents can't afford this.
Are you looking forward to going home?

My son's name was Gabriel.

I used to like to be in his room

Uh... [scoffs]
I had an affair.
[stifled laugh]

- Damn. - Yeah.
Well, I wouldn't recommend it. It didn't end well.
[♪♪]
But you do whatever you have to do.
Dying is not the answer.
I know it feels like a good solution right now,
but you want to live.
[♪♪]
How do you know that?
Because it's incredible to be alive.

that life is a given.
But you and I both know that it's not.

So we know that life is a gift.

Okay.
Can I talk to you about something else?
[Cole] Sure. What's up?
[sighs]
Guess where I was this morning?
[Cole scoffs] I got no idea, Ally.
I was at Woodlawn.
I talked to this woman who had lost her child.
Wow.
How was that?
It was really intense.
She was so young. She... much younger than we were.
And she was in so much pain, you could almost see
the film of grief over her eyes.
Yeah, I remember it.
Yeah, but I think I helped her. I really do.
And, um, Dr. Parry, that's my doctor,
she told me that someone like me,
with my experience,
I could turn this into a career.
A career?
Yeah.
They're creating a new program.
What they want to do is train parents who have lost a child
to become grief counselors.
And they think the only people
that can really understand that experience
are those that have been through it before.
I don't understand. You're moving to New Jersey?
What? No, I commute.
Alison, that's four hours away.
Well... well, yeah, um,
maybe I'll spend a few days a week up there.
So this is a full-time job then?
No, I-I... we haven't worked out the specifics yet, I...
What about Joanie?
What about her?
What, you just gonna abandon her again?
No.
- No. - So then what?
- You're gonna take her from me? - Wait, no.
- From our home? - Cole, stop.
I-I-I haven't thought about any of this.
Why not?
This is exactly why I didn't want you to have custody yet.
I knew you were gonna do something like this.
[sighs] It's been, what, 24 hours?
Less?
And you just can't help yourself, can you?
Wait, Cole, I think you're missing the point...
[Cole] No, you are missing the point.
What happened in court is a miracle.
Why can't you see that?
Why can't you just be happy and say thank you?
You have to keep on pushing and pushing.
I forget this about you.
I get so caught up in you and I and our history
and everything that that entails.
But this is who you are.
You're chaos. And I can't live like that.
Uh, well nobody's asking you to.
Really?
Then why are you here?
[sighs] I just...
...I just wanted to share it with you.
Why?
Because... [sighs]
...you're the only person who could understand.
I...
I just don't get why you're so angry.
I thought you'd be happy for me.
[scoffs] Of course you did, Alison,
'cause it's about you.
Everything's always about you.

[moody rock music playing over radio]
Hey.
Heard you had a big day yesterday, Bailey.
Wow. Word travels fast.

Oh, I don't know.

Um, I was getting dinner in town

Uh, well, yeah, I have a lot of reasons to be here, and...
[Helen] Oh, your daughter's here, right?
Yeah.

She turned out not to be Noah's?

No.
I loved hearing that.
Mm.

I'm not trying to be a bitch.
I'm just having a really weird day.
Yeah, me too.
[laughs nervously]
[Helen clears throat]
[♪♪]
Have you seen him recently?
Noah?
Yeah, I'm just wondering if, you know,
how he is.
Um...
He's been staying at my place, actually.
- He is? - [Helen] Mm-hmm.
Just for a few days.
His neck got infected
and... and my boyfriend's a... a doctor, so...
Wow, that's so nice of you. That...
[Helen] Mm.
[♪♪]
Do they know who did it?
No.
Think it's random.
- [Alison] God, it's so weird. - I know.
[Helen] When's the last time you saw him?
Uh, a few days ago.
[coughs]
What? Why?
We signed the divorce papers.
You're divorced from Noah?
Yeah.
And so am I.
[snickers]
[both laughing]
Cheers.
[glasses clink]
[both laughing]
Oh.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Uh, okay.
Who was he with you?
[Alison] What do you mean?
I mean, how would you describe this person,
Noah Solloway?
Um...
[♪♪]
Uh, I, uh, I...
...I'd say he was charming.
Uh, very smart.
Intensely driven.
I've never met anyone that ambitious before.
What?
Nothing. Go on.
Um...
He was very mature.
You know, he seemed like a man that
could take care of things.
[♪♪]
Mm.
That's not how you saw him?
I found him to be
so insecure.
I mean, obviously very intelligent,
but I always was after him to hustle more,
call his publisher, or
stand up to my father.
[laughs]
It's like he was a completely different person with you.
I think people see what they want to see in other people.
[♪♪]
[sighs]
You know, I used to think that he was never really yours,
that I was just
loaning him to you until
he'd had enough and decided to come home,
even after you'd gotten married.
Isn't that pathetic?
Helen, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry for what I did.
He was your husband. You had children.
I shouldn't have...
I'm so sorry.
[♪♪]
But it's not your fault.
I mean,
men need to feel
important in order to stay in a relationship,
and I stopped making Noah feel important
years before he met you.
So don't blame yourself for what happened.
Helen, I want to tell you something
about the night that Scotty died...
- No, don't. - [Alison] I...
No, I think it would help you to hear...
Why don't you just let it go, Alison?
I mean, what does it matter?
It's not like we can go back.
[sighs] It was nice seeing you.
Take care of yourself.
[door creaks open, shut]
Weird night?
[scoffs]
Mm.
[♪♪]
[wind blowing]
[knocking at door]
Chris?
Hey. What's wrong?
[Chris] I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
The New Jersey cops are back in Montauk, questioning Cole.
About what?
Noah Solloway's attempted murder.
His alibi the night of the stabbing didn't hold up.
What, he... he wasn't home?
No. Apparently, they have
some record of a toll he paid on the Jersey Turnpike
about ten miles from the university,
an hour before Noah was stabbed.
[♪ brooding music ♪]
Oh, my God.
Do you know anything about this?
Uh, n-no.
Because if you got something to say, now would be the time.

going on a drive to look at the foliage.
- Yeah. - Sorry to bother you, Bailey.
You have a good night.

He asked me if... if Joanie seemed happy
when she was with her.
Was I supposed to lie?
No.
Of course I don't want you to lie.
I just wish you could have mentioned it to me first.
That's what I'm saying.
I didn't know I was going to do anything.
[lawyer] Cole? Luisa?
So, the judge is leaning towards shared custody.

Yeah, I know. I got your message.
- Your survey's out of date. - I don't think so.
That survey's not more than three years old.
Correct.
Right, so that's not out of date.
Town law stipulates that all new construction
be based on a new survey.
We've got to shut you down till you get a new one.
Come on, if I get... if I get a new survey,
it's gonna cost me an arm and and leg.
And it'll take me eight weeks to get somebody out there.
Maybe less.
Even if it's six,
I'm trying to get that roof on before winter.
If you shut me down now, I'm screwed.
I'm sorry, with all the new construction in town,

All right, Timothy, I know that you're new here.
This is a small town.

Hello.
Yeah, I'm just at a building site.
Yes, I got your message about the diapers, I already...
No, I didn't make the appointment becau...

I think he's teething, but if you want me to...
Hello?
She's a fucking cunt. [sighs]
Everything okay?
Yes, I meant that affectionately.
Is there something wrong with Little O?
No, he's teething.
But he won't stop crying, and Jenny's worried.
And she's back at work now and super stressed

and we never have sex, but other than that?
Everything's great.

You guys gonna be okay?
What do you mean?
Well, you just called your wife a cunt.
Yeah, 'cause she makes me deeply miserable.
But you mean are we gonna split? No, of course not.
Jenny's like a...

And let's face it, I'm a C.
So if she needs to call and yell at me and then hang up,

I fell for her like the fucking Hindenburg.
I mean, she was like some sort of nymphomaniac.
I thought I was setting myself up for
a lifetime of blowjobs.
[scoffs]
Now, a scant three years later,
instead of getting laid at night,
I find myself up changing diapers.
- [laughs softly] - Yeah.
Last night, I didn't have a clean one ready.
Little O started to squirm.
So I reached out my hand
and I let him shit in it.
[stifled chuckle]
[Oscar] But you know what occurred to me
while that was happening?
Nope.
I thought,
this is what happens when you fall in love with someone.
This is where it all leads.
So,
if that's where it's heading anyhow,
wouldn't you rather Luisa to fall back on,
the woman you know will be there to catch you,
than Alison, who nine times out of ten
will probably just let you fall?
[♪♪]
Good seeing you.
- Thanks for stopping by. - Okay.
[Cole clears throat]
Hey, great talk.
[Oscar] Shut it down.
Yeah.
Last survey was done three years ago, November.
- Hey, Cole. - I mean, as soon as
you can get out there. Hold on, hold on.
Yeah. Next week'll be fine.
I'll see you at the house. Thank you.
Bye.
Ally, I told you yesterday, I really...
No, look, I had a... a really significant day.
I was at Woodlawn and I was counseling a grieving mother.
And it went so well they've offered me a job.
A job?
Yeah.
There's starting this new program, and...
Hold on, did you take it?
Yeah, I did.
Woodlawn is in New Jersey.
Well, that's not the point.
[Cole] Okay, so what's the point then?
What... aren't you happy for me?
If you start working in New Jersey,
what are we gonna do about Joanie?
You think you're taking her? You're gonna leave her?
What... I thought I could take her half the week.
She has school.
[Alison] Well, she's got kindergarten.
We can find one there in New Jersey.
- It's fine... what? - [Cole] Jesus Christ.
Nothing, I just thought it was gonna be different this time.
[Alison] What was gonna be different?
I thought maybe you'd stay in one place for a little while.
Well, okay, if you want Joanie here the whole week,
we can talk about that. It's not...
What I want is for you to be a responsible human being
who doesn't just do the first fucking thing
that pops into your head.
I don't have time for your craziness today, Ally.
Oh, it's a good thing I'm so fucked up, isn't it?
What's that?
Well, as long as I'm crazy, you get to be sane.
Hey.
Let's do it.
Okay.
I'm ready. Let's start our own family.
We could even use your sister as a surrogate.
What?
I'm sorry I've been acting so crazy for the last couple days,
but I was thinking about this.
You want a family. I want a family.
So let's do it.
I'm gonna call a doctor first thing tomorrow morning
and... and figure out the process.
Okay.
Um...
I think we should sleep on it.
And maybe we can talk when you're a little bit calmer?
Babe, I'm calm. I want this.
[knocking at door]
[Cole sighs]
Yeah?
Mr. Lockhart.
What now?
[laughs softly]
Yeah, I get it.
I'm in a shit mood too.
It sucks having to drive all the way out here again
just to ask the same question twice,
but here goes...
...where were you the night that Noah Solloway was attacked?
- I already told you. - [Stanton] Your home, right.
Except you didn't tell us, your wife did.
[Romero] Why do we have a picture of you at a tollbooth
right after the George Washington Bridge,
the evening of the stabbing?
You used your E-ZPass.
They keep records of stuff like that, so.
[Stanton] And the GWB is about 40 minutes
from Livingston University, but maybe you already knew that.
Look, Mr. Lockhart, why don't you just tell us
where you really were that night?
I told you already. I was with my wife.
You're about to make this a whole lot harder on yourself.
Yeah, if you don't come clean, you're about to become
our number one suspect.
Really? Is that a promise?
Just tell them where you were.
[♪ tense music ♪]
Why don't you listen to your wife, man?
Why don't you get the fuck off my property...
[Romero] Oh, fuck, really?
Take it easy!
Put the cuffs on.
Mr. Lockhart, man, bad move.
Let's go.
[jail cell clanks shut]
[♪ ominous music ♪]
[indistinct chatter]
[gates unlatching]
[Alison] Chris Gibbons told me you were here.
[sighs] I got him to let me back so I could see you.
Why?
Look, Cole, we've basically
known each other,
like, our whole lives.
[sighs]
And you're a lot of things,
but you're not a liar.
So just tell me.
- If you stabbed Noah, that... - Jesus Christ.
No.
I wasn't anywhere near the guy.
Then where were you that night?
I went up to Woodlawn.
What?
To talk to your doctor.
Dr. Parry, right, that's her name?
Yeah. Why?
[exhales]
To talk about you.
Oh.
When you got back to Montauk, you seemed... clearer.
Seeing you, seeing you with Joanie,
just brought a lot of thoughts back to me.
Well, what kind of thoughts?
About us.
[♪ solemn music ♪]
[♪♪]
Okay.
[♪♪]
Well, why did you need to see my doctor?
I needed her professional opinion, I guess.
[Alison] About what?
About how you are.
[scoffs] Are you kidding me?
What, you, like, you needed permission?
Yeah.
[♪♪]
Okay, and, uh, what did she say?
Nothing.
She's a very ethical doctor.
Okay, wait, so, uh,
this is the big secret that... that you've been hiding?
Yeah.
[Alison] Well, tell the detectives that.
- I can't. - [Alison] Why not?
Why do you think?
Well, I-I-I have no idea.
If I admit that I went up to Woodlawn,
then I have to admit everything to everybody.
A-admit what?
[scoffs]
Alison,
I built this whole life,
I'm building a whole house
just to prove to everybody
that I don't love you anymore,
that I don't need you, that I don't want you,
that I don't miss you.
[♪♪]
But the truth is that I do.
[♪♪]
I need you.
And I want you and I miss you
and I love you.
And I'm tired of pretending that I don't.
[♪♪]
So stop pretending.
[♪♪]
I can't.
[♪♪]
Why?
'Cause I'm not Noah Solloway.
[♪♪]
I am a good man.
And I would have to be crazy
to trust you after what you did to me,
and I can't go down that rabbit hole again.
I'm not gonna jeopardize everything that I've built.
[Alison] Yeah, then don't walk away.
Jesus, nobody is holding a gun to your head.
[♪♪]
But you know you have to make a decision, Cole.
[♪♪]
And look, this is me.
I'm not hiding anything from you.
I've worked really hard on myself,
and I am stronger in a lot of ways
than I used to be,
but I am always gonna be impulsive.
And depressed.
With mood swings.
Yeah, I know that I am not
an easy person to love.
But I love you.
[♪♪]
I always have
and I always will.
[♪♪]
You know, but this is your decision to make.
[laughs softly]
Yeah, I-I don't envy you.
[♪♪]
[sighs]
[♪♪]
[gate clangs]
[♪♪]
[Luisa] Hey.
[Cole] Hey.
[Luisa] What did you tell them?
The truth.
Told 'em I went up to the place Alison was getting treated.
To talk to her doctor.
Why?
[belt clinks]
I wanted evidence about her mental state.
To use in the custody case.
Why would you lie to the police for so long
about something so simple?
I don't know.
[Luisa] I think you're still lying.
I can't talk about this anymore, Luisa.
Good night.

We keep coming back to each other.
I know.
Don't you think that means something?
I think that means we were unfinished.
[Alison] And now... we are?
[♪♪]
You're scared.
I think you're giving up
because we've made a mess of everything,
and it's too complicated.
If you leave Luisa now,
you can't play the good guy anymore.
Then you're an asshole, just like me.
Yeah, but maybe you're a happy asshole.
Instead of a miserable hero.
