The AffairEpisode Number: 4 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Monday September 29, 1997 Prod Code: AM03 |
Ally is asked to be a pallbearer at the funeral of her ex-law professor. The widow, Katherine Dawson, invites her to give the eulogy, but Ally's initial reluctance betrays the reason. In a moment of complete vulnerability, she confesses to Billy who supports her by agreeing to attend the funeral with her. This unnerves Georgia, and Cheanie, who are both feeling threatened when they realize Billy is helping Ally out during a difficult time in her life. Georgia confronts Billy, and Cheanie confronts Ally, who refuses to tell him why she's been upset lately. He doesn't understand why she chooses to confide in Billy over him.

What Ally had to do in this episode is a lot like what she did in 'Boy next door'. When Billy died she lied to Georgia that his last words were about her and now she lied to the widow that he only ever loved her and their children, while in fact, in both cases, she was the one they loved.
(edit)
It was mentioned a lot that James Dawson had two daughters, yet you only see the one. I mean the affair was four years ago so the child, already born then, should be old enough to attend the funeral and yet you see Kathy Baker sitting next to only one girl
(edit)
Ally: Elaine, you look like Hannibal Lector.
Hannibal Lector is fictional character created by author Thomas Harris. He's a brilliant and cultured psychiatrist turned into a cannibalistic serial murderer. When he's imprisoned in the movies about him, he wears a mask to prevent him from biting anyone or anything. (edit)
