Russian Doll 2.03

Brain Drain

Nadia decides to stay in 1982 and try to figure out what is going on. She goes to see Ruth who takes her to the hospital for a sonogram. Vera, Nadia's grandmother, is there. They have a chat. Nadia learns that the gold coins were stolen once before, during World War II, by Nazis.

Nadia goes home with Vera. She gets some time alone in Vera's apartment and finds some documents hidden behind photographs. She grabs a bunch of stuff and heads out. She notices that she has some weird insect bite like marks on her arms. 

Nadia goes to the public library. She asks Ethel, a librarian, for help. Nadia leaves her name and number. She takes some slides she finds at the library and goes to Crazy Eddie's. She gets a slide projector and goes back to Nora's apartment. Nora shows up. Nadia and Nora talk, they go out for cigarettes. Other people seem to see Nora but then Nadia gets locked up because a cop says she is crazy.

Nadia escapes with some help from Nora. The doctor can't see Nora. Nadia returns to 2022. She finds a note on her door from Alan. He's been looking for her and wants to talk.

Thoughts

There are some half answers in this episode but nothing definite. Nothing seems to be resolved. Was Nadia hallucinating or was she really talking to Nora? I'm not sure. 

I'm still intrigued but I'm feeling less certain about this show than I was after the previous episode. I will continues to watch but where is this all going? Will Alan be in the next episode? What role is he going to play in this story? Is he going to get an arc of his own, as he did last season?
