Properly, I am unable to say I did not see this coming.
There are seemingly two sides to each character on this collection, and as simple as it’s to get sucked into the model of themselves they’re presenting to Sophie, everybody’s true colours are sure to come back out ultimately.
Floor Season 1 Episode 7 noticed the unraveling of Baden, who was out of the blue public enemy primary to Sophie, as soon as she found he wasn’t being as truthful together with her as she believed.
Baden has been pushing his anti-James agenda for a very long time, and whereas maybe a few of it appeared motivated by his emotions for Sophie, he was undoubtedly constructing a strong case. Even with all indicators pointing in the direction of James being purple herring, there was no denying the lacking cash.
However as soon as the true nature of that crime got here to gentle throughout Floor Season 1 Episode 6, Baden did not have a lot of a leg to face on. Persevering with to pursue this case would carry Sophie down, which is the one factor he is been fairly eager to not do.
Baden by no means match the “dangerous” man mould, regardless of how laborious James tried to suit him into that field throughout this hour. He was simply as misguided as everybody else, drawn into Sophie’s internet and doing no matter he may to maintain this model of Sophie for himself.
As a result of on the finish of the day, that seems to be what everybody closest to Sophie is attempting to do. They’re unwilling to offer her the entire image of her previous as a result of they’re hoping to maintain this Sophie. The weak Sophie dependent upon them, and never the opposite means round.
It is wild when you concentrate on how a lot misled she’s been, and straight-up lied to at instances by the 2 males who will declare time and again to like her most.
Discovering out that Harrison initially employed Baden to look into Sophie is not as surprising because the present would really like it to be, although it places many issues into perspective. Their preliminary meet-cute is now tainted with the information that Baden knew precisely who she was after they met, which finally casts a shadow on their relationship.
Do I imagine that Baden fell in love together with her? Sure. However do I feel Sophie beloved him again? That is much more difficult.
I am undecided that Sophie is totally conscious of what love means or that she ever felt it with both of the 2 males in her life. She’s a really confused and self-serving lady, and it is laborious for somebody who solely thinks of themselves first to be actually able to loving another person correctly.
However for his half, Baden was in deep. And it seems that historical past could have began to repeat right here, the place he was on the lookout for greater than Sophie was keen to offer him.
Baden: You may’t do that?
Sophie: Actually, why not? As a result of if you cannot have me, nobody can?
If he’d initially wished her to run away with him and she or he declined, he most likely noticed her reminiscence loss as a second probability for him to get what he wished. And he did his due diligence this time, crafting an ideal story to reel Sophie in and get her to mistrust her husband, who did himself no favors together with his refusal to be trustworthy.
So, now Sophie’s acquired two males in her life claiming to like her and need what’s finest for her, who’ve each determined to pounce on this chance to suit Sophie into the field they’d like her to suit into.
This hour spirals till its logical conclusion, which is Baden in plenty of hassle.
And you’ll’t assist however really feel dangerous for him, identical to you could not assist however really feel slightly dangerous for James earlier than. They’ve each acquired points, however additionally they aren’t the satan.
Baden’s largest challenge was his blatant deception. He was higher off being open with Sophie and never getting caught in the course of his lies as a result of Sophie is drained. She is actually exhausted from the previous few months and attempting to piece collectively her life.
He ought to have left city the evening Sophie confronted him and light away, but it surely’s clear he could not depart with out proving himself to Sophie, which might be candy if it wasn’t all knotted up in a lot deception.
It is unclear when Baden acquired his arms on that video, however I think about he acquired it through the indeterminate time between Sophie’s blackmail marketing campaign and his exhibiting up in that restaurant. As a result of there isn’t any means he would have continued to push the James pushed you angle understanding Sophie truly jumped, proper?
Maybe, that is a silly query. As a result of identical to James was blissful to push Baden as a suspect, Baden was simply as keen to color James in a damaging gentle.
However giving Sophie that video does really feel like Baden’s closing act in getting Sophie to see that even via all of it, he did care about Sophie. It sounds odd to say that exhibiting somebody footage of them leaping off a ship would assist them, however anytime somebody is truthful with Sophie, that is serving to her.
Understanding Sophie actually did bounce now brings the query again to the why of all of it. She had a plan in place when she took that cash and headed for the ferry. She was working away and seemingly on the brink of begin anew, so what modified from the time she fought with James to then?
Another person was on the ferry deck, and even when they did not bodily push Sophie, it’s important to surprise if there was some form of confrontation between them that finally led Sophie to need to take her life.
It is a leap, however with every passing hour, you’ll be able to’t inform me that Harrison was all that involved with Sophie’s well-being. He is had a suspicion about her from the beginning, and going so far as to rent somebody to look into Sophie, reveals that he was extremely invested in her downfall.
However why would he have been on the ferry? He did not appear to know concerning the a refund then, and with Baden going rogue, what sort of info did he even have on Sophie?
With the knowledge we’ve proper now, it would not make sense for him to have been on that ferry, however I am not ruling something out. There are nonetheless extra mysteries on the market, and this is hoping the ultimate hour will give us the entire image of that fateful day as soon as and for all.
