Slip 1.05

The Widow

Mae gets dressed and goes out. She meets up with Gina but Mae's plan did not work. Gina does not remember their conversation from the previous episode. They go to the museum together but they don't go inside. Mae spots the monk. She and Gina follow the monk.

Gina is perplexed by Mae's behavior. They part ways after Mae shocks Gina by acting flip about the death of Nick, Mae's husband. Mae approaches the monk and talks to him. She thinks that he holds the key to understanding the weird journey she is on.

Mae walks around the city. She gives people money. She invites a homeless man to stay in her apartment. Mae spends the night sleeping on the street. She has a dream in which she meets and makes out with herself. Her other self starts to finger her. That's when she wakes up. She is fingering herself in the real world.

Mae meets a high school student. They talk briefly. Mae runs into Elijah. He doesn't know her but he thinks she looks familiar. He asks her out for a drink. She accepts his offer.

Thoughts

There are three actors, in addition to the ones mentioned above, who cross paths with Mae in this episode and that have appeared in previous episodes. None of them seem to recognize Mae.

I'm a little puzzled by this episode. Did the monk's words mean anything significant? Is Mae still in the same universe at the end of the episode as she was at the beginning? Did fingering herself cause her situation to change?

I'm not sure where the show is headed at this point. Is Mae going to try to restart her relationship with Elijah? That seems like the logical path for the story to take. Will the show end on a cliffhanger? Where will it land? Will it land or will it stay up in the air?
