This episode really isn't about Alison. It's about Joe. It's about a terrified husband trying to protect his wife. And Jake Weber's performance is BRILLIANT.

I would have rated this episode higher, but sometimes Allison just drives me nuts with how self absorbed and selfish she is. If this was happening to me I'd be terrified. She acts like a teenager and Joe is being a mean parent who doesn't trust her. (Eye roll)
Allison acting childish

Warning: Spoilers
In this episode Alison sleepwalks and does weird stuff like standing in the middle of a 4 lane road in heavy traffic screaming at cars to give her money, sleepdriving to the bank and withdrawing all their money, sleepwalking through the house at night looking for money, etc.
What strikes me in this episode is Alison's self centered, irresponsible, inconsiderate attitude. Joe took the money she withdrew from the bank without realizing she had done so and with no idea why she had done it, and locked it away in his safe. When Alison looked in her purse for her medicine and discovered the money was not there and Joe told her he had locked it up for safe keeping, Alison nearly screamed "you took the money out of my purse? Why would you do that? What did you think I would do with it?"
How could anyone not realize it is stupid to leave over 15 grand in their purse? And how could Alison think it unreasonable that Joe would lock it up? How could she not understand that Joe was worried about what she might do with the money? Alison was doing stuff without knowing she had done it, and with no idea why she had done it.
She herself had no idea what she might do with the money. But she acted like she was a victim when Joe did not know what she might do with the money.
Actually this is not the first time she has displayed inconsiderate behavior or acted like a victim. I don't know why the writers make her act like this. Is she this way in real life? I hope not.
