Previously on The Affair...

It's nice to see you again, Mrs. Solloway.

It's nice to see you, Colin.

Is something wrong?

I'm just tired, Dad.

You know, I'm doing everything. Colin still can't work

'cause of his visa situation.

This marriage thing, you don't have to do it, you know.

Yeah, but actually, Dad, I do, because if I don't, then Colin has to leave the country.

Mom, Vik, this is Furkat.

Welcome.

Are you two working together? I'm his assistant.

Try to think of what Whitney's doing as a sort of apprenticeship.

Was she here?

Get out.

Get out!

Get out!

Hey.

Erica, script supervisor.

Uh, in this sex scene, how important is the exact wording?

What are you doing, man, with Helen?

She's the mother of my children.

She's my best friend.

Whom you lied to, cheated on and left.

What?!

I know he's here. Where the f*ck is he? Sasha!

He's using you to get to me.

Trevor?

Stacey?

Damn it.

Oh, hey, Margaret.

Why are you here?

Uh, Helen's got a meeting today.

I said I'd take the kids to school.

-Are they ready? -Not remotely.

They haven't had their breakfast because there's no one here to cook it for them.

Well, usually they just have cereal for breakfast.

Hey, Stace.

Dad.

-Hey. -Happy Halloween.

Oh, God, is it Halloween? I forgot.

Shocker.

What are you guys doing?

Oh, uh, we're going to Sasha Mann's party tonight with Mom.

You are?

Yeah. Brooklyn's dad says Sasha's party is legendary in Los Angeles.

Oh. Guess I'm out of the loop.

Are you coming, too?

Uh, no. It's the first I've heard of it.

So you'll come.

I can't. I've got to grade some papers.

Dad, it's Halloween. You have to come.

No, Dad probably didn't make the guest list.

Why not? He wrote Sasha's movie.

Nobody cares about the writer, stupid.

Dad's, like, the most disposable person on set.

Trevor, don't call your sister stupid.

I'm not going if Dad's not invited.

Oh, come on now, that's silly.

You'll enjoy it. But I want to do something together, as a family.

You remember that Halloween in Brooklyn, when Mom took home the wrong mummy from the party and left Martin?

Because she couldn't tell the difference between him and the other kid.

You remember that?

Yeah. And then, in the end, the other kid didn't want to go home, because being with the Solloways, even as an imposter, was more fun than being with his own family.

I remember, too.

N-No, you don't.

You've just heard the stories.

You were a baby.

Why don't we all go out for dinner this week?

I'll see if I can get it on your mother's calendar.

Okay.

Well, yeah, tell her I said, uh, I know that it's a little bit more expensive, but why spend all the money on the chaise if you don't want to cover it with an amazing fabric?

♪ Wistful music ♪

♪♪♪ Hey, Helen.

Who's she talking to?

Mm. Her assistant.

She has an assistant? Okay, great.

Thank you for doing this.

Happy to help.

Trevor said he'd quit school if I let my mother drop him off.

We were just remembering that Halloween when you, uh, picked up the wrong mummy and left Martin at the party.

Remember that? I never did that.

-Yeah, you did. -Yeah, you did, Mom.

-Yeah, you did. -Wow.

You guys were practically raised by wolves, and yet, you turned out so well.

Can you get your sh*t for school?

Yeah, okay.

Well... I guess I'll take the trash out, since no one else is doing it.

Thanks, Mom.

How are you?

-Good. You? -Good.

Been a while.

Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to, um...

I wanted to talk to you about what happened.

What do you mean?

You know, in the karaoke bar.

How much do you remember?

Enough.

I think, um...

I think watching this movie getting made, it's-it's bringing up a lot of stuff, and I'm-I'm not handling it properly.

Mm-hmm.

So my feelings over the, you know, ownership of the book and trying to get the story right, I, uh, maybe I...

Maybe that spilled over to you, and I blurred the lines a little.

You think?

Anyway, the point is, I'm-I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have... I'm sorry, you know.

You can do what you want with your personal life.

I should just give you some privacy.

All I want is to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship, for the sake of the kids.

Well, for once, we want the same thing.

Bye, guys.

Oh, um, Mom, don't forget to pick up the lace for my garter belt.

Will not.

I'm going as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Oh, for God sakes, Trevor, if you have to be gay, can't you be the elegant kind?

You mean like Grandpa?

Okay, that's enough. Come on.

Let's go. We're late.

Come on.

♪♪♪ Hey, guys.

-There he is. -The man of the hour.

Hey. Sorry I'm late, I had a couple of student conferences after school.

How about our friend here? Hit movie in the works, still teaching high school.

Walking the walk.

Yeah, so sorry I called the meeting and, uh, raised a red flag; it's just that, um, there's been a, uh, uh, a miscommunication, and, um, I've been banned from the set.

So I need you to help me smooth it over or whatever and... so I can go back to work.

When you say you've been banned from set, what... what does that mean exactly? Banned by who?

By, uh, Sasha.

Mann?

Yeah, Sasha Mann.

Huh.

Listen, we love that you want to see the process

-all the way through... -It shows passion.

But really, is there anything more boring than production?

Yawn city.

No, guys, no. Look... this has been a ten-year journey trying to realize this book as a movie, and... it's my life story, so I-I need to be there to make sure it's done right. We get it, Noah.

This is your baby, but let's not lose sight of the big picture.

When the town sees "written by Sasha Mann and Noah Solloway" on a box office smash, every above-the-title star in Hollywood is gonna be knocking down your door to cowrite their passion project.

Wait a second, what do you mean?

It's not gonna say that. It's gonna say

"written by Noah Solloway," right?

So, the good news is, Sasha Mann is

-really invested in this movie. -Mm-hmm.

Are you f*cking kidding me? He gets a f*cking writing credit?

No, no, we...

W-we can't let him have it. We have to fight this.

-We totally get how you feel. -Hmm. Yeah.

But Hollywood's a small town.

Relationships are everything.

Think about it:

"Disgruntled first-time screenwriter battles beloved movie star in credit arbitration."

-Mm. -Come on, -that's not a good look. -No.

I don't give a sh*t what it looks like.

He didn't write that movie, I f*cking wrote the movie.

And as my representatives, I need you to help me stand up to him.

As Sasha Mann's representatives, we're not gonna be able to do that.

But wait.

We have something that will cheer you up.

-Mm. -Show him the key art, Jordan.

We just got this.

Huh?

Come on.

It's pretty good, right?

Hey. - Hello.

-Mr. Solloway? -Sorry, who is this?

This is Jocelyn from Helen Butler's office.

Helen's stuck in a swatch meeting and needs you to go to Jo-Ann Fabrics on La Cienega and pick up... some lace for her son's garter belt.

Excuse me, I don't understand. She says her son can explain the specifics if you call him.

Yeah, he's our son and... -Sorry.

That's the whole message.

Yeah, can I speak to Helen, please?

Let me see if I can get her.

I'm sorry, I don't have her right now.

What do you mean, you "don't have her"?

Did you just... did you just talk to her?

I'm afraid I have another call.

I'll give Ms. Butler your message.

No, I don't want to leave a message...

This is tulle, Dad.

I said lace.

Well, what do you want me to do, Trevor?

-Take it back? -You know what? No.

There's no time.

Guess I'm just gonna have to wear this boring, plain garter belt.

Trevor, I think you look fantastic.

Yeah, thanks, Dad.

When is Mom taking you to this party?

It's almost six. - Noah?

May I talk to you for a minute?

There's been a change of plans which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Why? What's going on?

Helen's working late.

She's asked me to drive them to Sasha Mann's.

She says she'll meet them there.

Can't she take the night off? I don't understand why she's taking them to Sasha Mann's party at all.

The whole thing seems ridiculous to me.

Bruce has Alzheimer's.

God, I'm sorry, Margaret. I thought, I thought as much.

Me, too, but what are you doing about it?

What is anyone doing about it?

Instead of coming back east to help me take care of him, Helen's sashaying around Hollywood like she's Nicole Kidman.

-It's grotesque. -Margaret, I think Helen just needs to take care of Helen for a while. Okay? She's been through a lot. She hasn't slept here for a week.

I am basically those children's mother now.

Wait, when's Mom coming home?

She doesn't care about you anymore.

She's taking care of Helen.

That's enough. - Wait, what?

Trevor.

Go find your sister and get in the car.

I'm taking you to Malibu.

What? No.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

There's no way I'm showing up at the hippest party I've ever been to with my grandmother.

Dad, why can't you drive us?

Okay, come on, let's go.

Gonna take forever in this traffic.

Where's Stacey? Stacey!

She's been locked in the bathroom ever since we got home from school.

What? Why?

I have no idea.

Stacey? - What?

-Is everything okay in there? -Go away.

Look, I'm-I'm sorry, uh, Mom had to work late, but I can take you to the party, you can see her there.

-I'm not going. -Why not?

I don't want to talk about it.

Stacey, come on, l-let me in. Go away, Dad.

I don't want you. I want Mom.

I think Aunt Flo's come to visit.

What?

Oh, sh*t. Um...

What... Can you, can you give her something?

-Like what? -Well, I don't know, like, a tampon or a-a pad or...?

Noah, I'm 73.

Oh, sh*t, right. Can you check in Helen's bathroom, will you?

Yeah.

Stace?

Should I send your grandmother in?

No!

Look, Stacey, just, uh, just...

Okay, just tell me what you want.

I want Mom.

Look, Dad, can't she just stuff some tissues down her pants or something?

-We're gonna be late. -You told him?

Well, look at him. He's practically a woman anyway.

More so than you.

Trevor, that's not helpful. I'm calling you an Uber.

You can go to the party on your own.

-Seriously? -Yeah, seriously.

It'll be out front in six minutes. Don't do dr*gs.

-Okay. Yes! -Margaret, you're gonna go out

-and get Stacey some pads. -Why do I have to be the Sherpa around here all the time?

Why don't you go get the pads? Because I'm her father!

I'm staying here in case she needs me.

There you are, Noah.

Welcome back.

Margaret, what are you doing?

You'd leave somebody if you found this in their bedroom, wouldn't you?

What is it?

It's a pocket p*ssy.

This is what you need to do: sneak into Sasha Mann's party, figure out where he sleeps, and plant this stuff all around his room.

Then later, Helen will find it, and... he's toast.

Are you sure it's Bruce who's losing his mind?

Margaret, what-what kind of a person do you think I am?

No, don't answer that. Do you know what I think?

I think he's in one of those cults these Hollywood people are so into. I think she's being brainwashed.

Look, just 'cause Helen's not doing what you want her to do doesn't mean she's being brainwashed.

Oh, hey, Stacey.

Hey.

-Everything okay? -I'm fine.

Sure?

Want to get your costume on and I'll take you over to...

-Sasha's house? -I'm not going. I hate him.

Who, Sasha?

Well, he can't be that bad.

I mean, if Mom wants to hang out with him.

I don't know why you're defending him, Dad.

He says such mean things about you.

Like what?

He's called you a loser.

He says Mom could've done so much better.

Oh, my God. Everybody's here.

Um, if people ask if we're sisters, just say yes, right?

I mean, wouldn't that be fun?

-Sure, Andrea. -Okay.

Whatever you want.

Here she is.

Whitney Solloway.

The one that got away.

Oh, uh, my love, I must introduce you to a dear friend of mine.

Dashiell?

Oh.

-Dashiell Boucicault. -Hi.

Ah. Lindsay's mentioned you.

Lindsay?

Thanks. It's the name my mama gave me.

Andrea Rossman.

Whitney is my gallery assistant.

Oh. Hello.

I, uh, have been a fan of yours for years.

I would love to pick your brain about the collection that you've built.

Have you seen the Therrien?

It will make you feel so small.

He's a very important collector.

-Do you know him? -No.

Uh, he's opening a new gallery in New York.

I'm hoping to be his inaugural artist.

I'm sure you will be.

He'll need an assistant.

And you could use an upgrade.

Yeah. I'm fine where I am.

Darling, um, come with me.

I need to talk to you.

I think I should go rescue your friend

-from Andrea. -Listen, I...

I have to show you something.

The last time we went somewhere to talk, it didn't go so well.

I think we've both come a long way from Paris.

Haven't we?

Come on.

♪♪♪

So, are you gonna apologize now or what?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Whitney.

I was an ass.

There's not a... a day goes by where I don't regret what happened in Paris.

That I could do that to any woman, but to you, the perfect... perfect woman.

I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

Please, please forgive me.

Furkat.

Stop. Get up.

You're embarrassing me. Not until you forgive me.

Oh, my God, stop it. You're... Stand up.

Not until you forgive me!

I do. I forgive you. Just get up!

So, how long have you known F... Lindsay?

Uh, we met a few months ago at Basel.

He's very talented.

That's funny.

He says the same thing about you.

He does?

Mm-hmm.

He said that you have an amazing eye.

They are so beautiful.

Yeah, I was just thinking that.

You should join them.

Prefer to watch?

Yeah, me, too.

You know, I used to want to model for Lindsay, when I was younger.

When you were younger.

Well, I meant... Yeah.

I know what you meant.

And now?

I don't want to be looked at anymore.

I want to be the one that does the looking.

Well, that is where all the power lies.

If you could have everything you wanted, what would it look like?

Well...

Somebody would give me the money to start my own gallery where I could foster new artists.

Younger artists.

So much of what I see now feels recycled, redundant... built for an audience that already exists as opposed to in search of a new one.

I'd want to promote artists that are digging deeper, that are looking for something amorphous that haunts them, that haunts me, that I just don't have the language for.

Oh, my God, I sound like a f*cking idiot.

No, no. That's...

That's beautiful.

I've had enough, I think.

Ah.

Hello, Lindsay.

Excuse me, Dashiell.

Do you mind if I, um, just borrow this one for a moment?

God, you're so beautiful.

I've really missed you.

I missed this so much.

Wait, stop.

I think someone's here.

Furkat, someone's here.

Don't worry about it.

He likes to watch.

But...

He could give you a gallery.
