## What Happened in Episode 2 — Recap

The previous episode ended with a major shift in perspective. Eleanor discovered a letter written by Robert that confirmed he already knew about Nancy’s affair before her death — presenting a potential motive and making existing relationships far more complicated.

At the same time, Eleanor and Robert crossed a line by sleeping together, blurring the boundaries between grief and desire — putting Eleanor in a deeply vulnerable position, especially as her judgment continues to be questioned by both Mary and Donovan.

Davide, initially seen as the prime suspect, was released — and his account painted Nancy as someone who was struggling emotionally, something her closest friends had completely failed to notice.
