Russian Doll 2.04

Station to Station

Alan travels back in time and space. The train takes him to East Berlin in 1962, in his grandmother's body. Agnes was a college student, from Ghana. He never knew her. It all seems great to him until he learns that her friends have plans to tunnel under the Berlin Wall and escape to West Berlin.

Nadia travels to Budapest, but not by train. She takes Maxine with her. Nadia is looking for clues about her family's past. She has the name of the Nazi officer who took her family's money. She finds Krystof, his grandson, but he doesn't have any answers for her. Maxine starts flirting with Krystof. He offers Nadia a hit of something that gives her a crazy dream.

Nadia and Maxine return from Budapest, after just a few days. Nadia decides to take the train back in time again but this time it takes her back to Budapest during World War II, presumably in her grandmother's body.

Thoughts

I really like this episode. The season finally delivered on Alan's part of the story even though the whole episode isn't about his journey. Hopefully this won't be it and there will be more to his story in the next few episodes.

I like the ending. Alan's part of the story expanded the possibilities. Nadia's train trip at the end of the story expands it even more. Of course there's only so much time to resolve all the open plot threads. This episode does give me more hope for the remaining episodes of the season.
