The Affair Returns, as Suspenseful and Mysterious as Ever

The Affair is back but what are they going to do? We know who killed Scotty. Mystery over. Flashbacks over.

What will The Affair be without suspense?

It wouldn’t be The Affair, but don’t worry, they have a new storyline and I’m already hooked. Let’s break it down.

This first episode is mostly about Noah, because once again, his story is what is going to propel this season.

It starts with him at his Father’s funeral. He’s living with his sister. Alison is gone. Helen attends and asks him about “us,” which is kind of confusing since last we knew, he was married to Alison and she was with a hot doctor.

Turns out, he’s been in prison for the past three years, and hence we have our much needed flashback and mystery.

He’s cramping his sister’s lifestyle, so he wants to find his own place. After all, he’s employed at a University, which is pretty good for an ex-con/admitted murderer

We know he didn’t do it, but the University people don’t!

Noah now has a special kind of paranoia. All through the episode, a man keeps following him, or he thinks someone is following him, in a Chicago Cubs baseball cap. He’s also having phantom pains in his shoulder.
