“104” is the most honest episode of The Affair to date. It pulls no punches in furthering Alison and Noah’s story line. “104” takes The Affair from being the tale of a sordid affair to the genesis of a true love story.

Oscar Hodge (Darren Goldstein), Alison’s boss at The Lobster Roll, doesn’t particularly care for Alison’s husband Cole (Joshua Jackson), and “103” provides some insight into why.
