Here’s a recap of episode 3 of Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix.

Netflix Anatomy of a Scandal

The previous episode left viewers with a very symbolic visualization of its declining descent of Sophie. Does this episode continue to elevate the level of suspense as the last episode?

Let’s dive in, shall we?

Premise

In this episode, James’ attorney, Angela, breaks down Olivia’s story, and Kate tries to repair it. She points out that she appears to be an unresponsive and supposedly jilted lover, and the police report mentions that she never actually said no.

Olivia said, “not here,” which was the basis for Angela trying to insinuate she would make her pay (seek revenge). Angela felt there was a distinction and decided Olivia would pay the consequences. She initiated a message telling James there was arrogance attractive to her.

As she explains, we find out that James led her to an elevator. She describes the rape incident in great detail, saying she told him “no,” but he advanced himself on her anyway.

Fearing that he would be fired, he calls his old co-worker, Prime Minister Tom, to cash in his get out of jail card. We do not know what he did to earn it.

Watch or Not

Yet another suspenseful and well-written episode. This show keeps getting better and better. This is a MUST watch.
