wait what>>>> is going on
Episode 3 of Surface starts with Sophie questioning Baden about their affair. He deflects that though and brings up the evidence he's found thus far. According to Baden, James bought a plane ticket a day before the accident but the plane manifest doesn't see him on there. Furthermore, GPS records on his car hint that he was half a mile from the pier. Sophie wants to arrest James for lying about his alibi, but without hard proof then there's not much they can go on. However, Baden believes it could be linked to their affair. He and Sophie had been seeing each other for several months bur Sophie got reckless toward the end and made it more obvious they were sleeping together. Could it be that James was aware of their affair and wanted to kill Sophie as revenge? Shock, horror, the missing money is all James' fault. Who would have guessed it? Well, anyone paying attention to the show I guess. The problem is, Surface tries to present these mysteries like they're genuinely a mystery but this is a thriller with absolutely no thrills. We're clinging to the events of what transpired at the pier and right now, it's seeming likely that James is a red herring. At a guess, I think Baden is the one who pushed her. The story plays out at such a pedestrian pace though and even Gugu Mbatha-Raw looks bored in some of these scenes. The fact that we're supposed to sympathize with this woman who has cheated on her husband, while everyone else is basically lying and out for themselves too, makes it hard to really get behind any one of these deceitful characters. Ames is no saint in this either, given he's checking up on Sophie constantly, trying to log in to her computer and even bringing her wine up in the bathroom while she's in the bath. James eventually leaves her to it after a rather uncomfortable chat, although he does briefly touch on the conversation he had with Caroline about her memories coming back. In the morning, James heads off to work where he learns there's an internal investigation about to get underway. The investigator is MacKenzie Isen and she's looking for unaccounted money in the business. Given James' sketchy attitude toward this, it wouldn't surprise me if we learn he's the one responsible.
