This was the best episode in a while, and definitely more like The Affair of the previous seasons. It felt like a return to form, using different perspectives of the same day in a more prominent way and delving into the psyches of each character in a way it hasn't for a while. I was also impressed to see Adeline get some development as well, seeing as how her first appearance was a tad one-dimensional in character; what they did with her this episode was exceptional.
As for Noah's part, it blew me away. He has always been so naive and trusting of everyone, and this was the perfect way to showcase that in the most potentially destructive way possible. When the accusations were swirling around him as the Vanity Fair editor was telling him about them, I felt as if they were swirling around me too; because the acting, directing and entire structure of that scene was so brilliant.
Moreover, the entire storyline of what Noah is going through with the accusations is possibly one of the best ways to end the series.
After all, for a series that began as about how two people can view an event very differently, what event can be more divisive than that of what a man sees as a harmless fling, and a woman might see as something more sinister? If you ask me, that's the ultimate two-point perspective.
