The Affair

Previously on The Affair...

I want to build a nightclub.

Come on, man. We can do this.

The Lockhart brothers back in business.

I was just wondering if you could tell me

what the last day to drop this class is.

Tomorrow, actually, the halfway mark.

If your plan is to go to med school,

I really encourage you to continue.

The longer you wait, the harder it may be

to jump back in.

What are you doing?

I am sending an email to my accountant

and telling him to send you $50,000.

- Are you insane? - It's not a loan.

It's a gift, okay?

No, I don't want to take any more money off you.

Well, the sooner you and Helen get divorced,

the happier everyone will be.

- The Lobster Roll. - What about it?

I want to buy it with you.

I know you've got your own cash,

'cause I know what you sold your house for, okay?

Is this your daughter?

- Yeah, uh, Gigi, I think... - She's beautiful.

Everybody says she looks like Alison,

but to me, she looks like her daddy.

You know what? She does to me too.

"I'll kill you.

I will fucking kill you."

And did the defendant's threat become physical?

Noah threw my brother on the ground.

He started hitting him over and over again.

Then he... he started choking Scotty.

He couldn't breathe.

If I didn't jump in, I don't know...

You feared for your brother's life, didn't you?

Yes.

- Objection. Leading. - Sustained.

I'll refrain.

Scott had impregnated Mr. Solloway's teenage daughter.

In that moment, did you think that Mr. Solloway

was capable of killing your brother?

Objection!

Sustained. Ms. Klass, please.

No further questions.

Mr. Lockhart,

I only have one question for you.

Do you hate Noah Solloway?

Excuse me?

Would you mind telling the jury

what you feel when you look at the defendant?

I feel nothing.

Noah Solloway had an affair with your wife, did he not?

With my ex-wife.

And then to add insult to injury,

he destroyed your family's reputation

and their livelihood in his novel.

Is there no part of you that hopes that this trial

will serve as an opportunity to punish him for that...

Objection.

...and not for what he's actually accused of?

Sustained. Counselor...

No further questions.

I'm nervous about meeting your mom later.

What if she doesn't like me?

She probably won't.

I'm her kid. She can barely stand me.

Well, give me some tips.

How can I make a good impression?

All right, here's how it's gonna go.

You're gonna walk in.

She's not gonna ask you to take off your shoes,

but you should take off your shoes.

Then she's gonna offer you some lemonade.

It's gonna taste like shit,

'cause she never puts enough sugar into it,

but try not to scrunch up your face.

And then she's gonna tell you that we're cursed.

So maybe don't mention the fibroids.

Right.

- Fuck. - Your boss?

Yeah.

Stephanie?

Stephanie.

I-I can't...

Thank you.

Hold on. I-I can't hear you.

You're breaking up.

We're just pulling over.

Okay, now, explain to me the problem.

Just have Lillian bag the meat

and put it into the alley before it starts to smell.

It's in... it's in the basement.

Yes, just go down there, and it's right there.

It's the first one.

45 minutes and no calls from Stephanie.

Think that's got to be some kind of record.

Well, one day, I'm gonna own my own restaurant

so I don't have to deal with anybody else's bullshit.

What kind of place would you want to open?

Nothing fancy.

Someplace that means something

to people that go there.

I'm gonna take a bath.

- Where you going? - There's no soap.

Hold on, I'll get it for you.

Relax.

Excuse me?

Uh, we don't have soap here.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I thought I restocked that room.

Here you go.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

Mom?

Cole?

Hello.

You're Cherry?

I'm so sorry.

Mom, this is my fiancée, Luisa.

Very nice to meet you.

Yeah, very nice to meet you too.

E'

I didn't know that you were working here.

Well, I mean, now you know.

Does the room need anything else?

- No, the room's fine. - Okay.

- We'll see you later. - Yes.

- - Housekeeping.

- - Housekeeping.

I haven't looked at these in years.

This is on the day that we were married.

Oh, wow.

You look so beautiful.

Oh, thanks.

Where did you find all these?

I found them when I was cleaning out the breakfront

right before I sold it.

You sold Cora's breakfront?

I didn't have a choice, Cole.

You look just like your father, Cole.

Yeah? You think?

Yeah.

People always tell me that, but I don't see it.

Now, that crusty old son of a bitch

is my grandfather Silas.

Is, um, that the ranch behind you?

We were married at the very top of that hill,

October 2nd, 1974.

I'm sorry that we didn't manage to hang on to it

a little while longer for your sake, dear.

What do you mean, for my sake?

Oh, so that you guys could get married there too.

But isn't that where you and Alison got married?

Mm-hmm.

Then I'm glad it's gone.

Excuse me?

Well, I just... I just think it's time for us

to make our own traditions.

We told Miranda we were gonna meet her soon,

so I think we should get going, yeah?

Oh.

The prodigal son returns.

Jesus Christ, Scott, you look like shit.

You don't.

Your brother hasn't been feeling very well...

I feel great, Mom.

Anyway, I was... I was just heading out myself.

I got a busy day ahead.
