Just when it all seemed to make sense, everything has changed. The relationships that seemed the most secure, are now about as promising as a “Hollow Wall.” Appropriately titled, as what ever we thought we knew has blown up in our faces—literally and metaphorically. The explosion in Hebron might leave Nessa and Frances for dead. Is it possible that Hugo Blick would kill off Nessa before the finale? I would usually think that highly unlikely. But because there will not be a second season of The Honourable Woman, it is quite possible. And still, it seems odd that we will soon bid adieu to this groundbreaking drama.
First, Monica who has been a character in the shadows, became much more relevant during this episode. Are Monica and Samir Al-Zahid on the same team? What is Monica doing talking to the man who raped Nessa last episode? Did she orchestrate the rape? One thing seems certain, Monica probably should not be trusted. Hugh warns Nessa of this, to which she responds, “Why should I trust a spy?”
