"Coming into this episode, I hoped that the two-perspective concept, having been duly established in the pilot, would now settle into successive, rather than parallel, timelines. Unfortunately, we are fated to see two versions of the same events every time. At least the pace picks up a bit: The second half of this episode, told through Laura's perspective, moves significantly beyond where we left off in Cherry's."
"Daniel insists that Cherry fly to Malaga business class with British Airways, even though that is a less-than-three-hour flight. Cherry has enough dignity to say that's not necessary, but when Daniel tells her the money is already in her account, she works smarter. She buys a cheap, SpeedyJet ticket and uses the rest of the money to buy cute clothes for the vacation. She flies in her"
Two parallel perspectives remain, with Laura's viewpoint advancing the story while Cherry's timeline repeats shared events. Cherry displays controlled, psychopathic composure on the Sanderson family vacation, keeping distance from the suspicious housekeeper Carlota and restraining herself from attacking Brigitte. Brigitte is Isabella's daughter and intimately close to Daniel. Daniel insists on business-class travel and deposits money; Cherry purchases a cheap ticket, uses the surplus to buy revealing vacation clothes, and changes at the airport to preserve Daniel's illusion. Isabella and Brigitte are surprised by Cherry's early arrival and Isabella plots to embarrass her. Laura remains shaken after witnessing Cherry punch someone and faces poor reviews for her show.
