just amazed how good the show is and getting so good.
With the release of Episode 5, "Surface" now starts to tighten its plot and round up questions that have been unanswered so far. The protagonist, Sophie, is ready to go beyond any bounds to uncover her lost memories, and she finally takes a step based on information about an experimental method she has gathered from various sources. On the other side, James finally realizes that he can no longer live with his secrets, and he decides that the best way out is to reveal everything to his wife. As Sophie sits by the beach thinking of the information she has just received from her therapist, Hannah, about her own mother, very early memories seem to return. Hannah had revealed that Sophie's mother suffered from a psychotic disorder, something that could be hereditary, and Sophie remembered spending joyful time with her mother by the beach when she was a child. Baden soon joins her, and she tells him all of this, and also expresses how she is tired of pretending to be the good, docile housewife to James. The police officer promises that he has nearly got his hold on incriminating evidence, and the two then spend romantic hours at his house. Here, Baden receives a call from Todd, the IT guy at James' firm, whom he had earlier tricked into working for him. Todd had been given the responsibility to copy all data from James' office laptop and hand it over to Baden; the man manages to do so, nearly avoiding being caught, as he sneaks into James' room when everyone else is out for lunch. Over the phone, Todd asks Baden to give him some more drugs in return, which leads Baden to open up a secret stash of hallucinogenic drugs that he has kept in his house as part of his undercover investigation, and this is seen by Sophie as well. The woman tries to tell her lover how she has recently learned that hallucinogens can be effectively used to recover forgotten memories. All the traffic lights look blurry now, as Sophie traverses the empty night streets alone. Baden had earlier completed transferring all the data he needed as solid evidence against James, and he had informed Sophie about this via voice messages. However, since the woman has been missing for so long, both Baden and James grow concerned about her, and the two now come face-to-face for the first time. Baden introduces his identity as a police officer and also as Sophie's lover, and James' reaction makes it clear that he did not know the man, despite knowing that Sophie had a lover. As both of them keep waiting for Sophie, she is seen walking to the harbor, where she hallucinates jumping into the water once again. However, she wakes up the next morning on a bench on the harbor and realizes that she had fallen asleep there. She asks a worker about a ferry that is docked there, and what she learns about its destination seems to make things much clearer to her. At once, she returns home and ignores Baden, who had still been waiting outside James' house. Instead, Sophie walks straight into James' house and confronts him about telling her the actual truth.
