'The Affair' Season 2 Episode 7 RECAP: Thanksgiving Shockers

By

Episode 7 of "The Affair" reveals a shocking secret about Alison and Scotty Lockhart. The episode shows the separate narratives of Alison and Cole while celebrating Thanksgiving with their families. The Thanksgiving celebrations didn't go as planned. At the end of the episode, Oscar Hodges was the one who revealed the big secret that Alison might be keeping to herself.

In Alison's narrative, viewers follow Alison and Noah's whirlwind relationship. From her perspective, Noah is more excited about the success of his book, "Descent" and is barely paying any attention to Alison and their unborn child. Noah became busy with book events and he always drags Alison along. At one event, Noah's cute publicist, Eden was introduced and Alison wasn't too happy about meeting her.

Eden kept cutting into their conversation as the couple was discussing about their Thanksgiving plans. Alison wanted to leave early to prepare, but Noah still wants to stay and meet his supporters. Eventually, Noah decides that he'll just catch up with Alison later.

When Alison left the party, she picks up her mother Athena and went back to Noah's swanky apartment. Athena was impressed at the fancy crib but had some concerns about Noah and their relationship.

When dinner came, Noah arrives 30 minutes late and brings Eden with him because she didn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. Also, he forgot to bring the turkey. Things started to go out of hand after that. Alison got angry and confronts Noah about his book in front of their guests. She says that he lied about his book being fictional when it's really about their affair. She didn't like all the embellishments he added to their relationship and the way he perceived her character.

As for Cole, he also read Noah's book and was appalled that he had written a disrespectful account of Cole's family. He then went to see his family and told them about Noah's book. But it ended with his family actually confirming some truth in Noah's story. What he has written about Cole's grandfather drowning his wife's bastard son leading to a feud with her lover was actually true. Cole's mother says that she just wanted to keep their family's horrible past from her children because she felt that they were cursed since then. Cole left after that and upon storming out, he sees Whitney following Scotty but was distracted when she saw Cole.

Flash-forward into the present, Alison meets with Jon Gottlief to discuss about the status of her relationship with Scotty before his death. She says that they were in "good terms" with each other. However, Gottlief was shown a video of Alison and Scotty having an argument which didn't seem like they were really in "good terms." The lawyer asked Alison what they were arguing about and Oscar finally confessed that he overheard their discussion that time. He says Scotty kept grabbing Alison by the arm and says to her again and again, "That's out baby!"

Is Scotty really the father of Alison's baby and not Noah? If so, then this might finally lead to the suspect of his murder.

Stay tuned for the next episode of "The Affair" Sundays at 10pm on Showtime.
