Get More The Affair:

The Affair explores the emotional and psychological effects of an affair that destroyed two marriages, and the crime that brings these individuals back together. Season four finds Noah (West), Helen (Tierney), Alison (Wilson) and Cole (Jackson) in their own orbits, alienated from each other, spinning further and further away from where they all began. Every character is involved in a new relationship, forcing them each to decide if they’re ready and willing to leave the past behind for good – with a season about new beginnings, tragic ends and the ever-elusive possibility of forgiveness. Sanaa Lathan joins season four as Janelle, the tough-as-nails principal of the charter school where Noah teaches. Ramon Rodriguez guest stars as Ben, a Marine veteran now employed by the VHA and Alison's new love interest. Additional season four guest stars include Russell Hornsby (Grimm), Christopher Meyer (The Fosters), Amy Irving (Yentl) and Phoebe Tonkin (The Vampire Diaries). Writers Guild Award-winning playwright and writer/producer Sarah Treem (House of Cards, In Treatment) and Hagai Levi (In Treatment) created the series. Treem, also the showrunner, and Levi serve as executive producers. Jessica Rhoades is an executive producer on season four.

Such a strong conversation between these leading ladies, gotta love it!

[_Lane_]

I really love Alison and Helen's conversations and scenes together (not only this one!) and I love Helen behaving as Alison's "therapist" (interesting, we can only see this in Alison's point of view...)! 👍

[Knightny]

The ONLY time Alison changes the script, it only costs her her life

Smh it's very unfortunate for Alison

[tenchiboo]

I wish they had the whole conversation Helen was having with Alison.

[zahraamin]

This must be Alison’s perspective, her recollection is very unrealistic. She always plays victim. Even the bar scene between Helen and Alison, Alison’s perspective was Helen acting as her therapist.

[shivani]

Alison always sees herself as the victim, even when she's the perpetrator and she's completely blind to it. It's about time someone called her out on it.

[marib.]

I LOVE this scene. I used to feel like Alison for a long time.

[sunshinegirl]

If you don't like how men are treating you, then change your story. Play a different character.

[Luckythedog]

Gotta love this.😁
It's all about healing

[joshclements]

Helen's right alison! You have an important life! For the love of God please don't throw it away

[myriem]

For god sakes Alison you cheated on your man with a married guy then left him, everything that happened after that is on you. Stop whining

[Cindyportelafitness]

That's so unreal. Is Helen the mistress' therapist? OMG

[jordanyacyshyn]

This season just feels like an excuse for a newly enlightened script writer to inject pop psychology into a tv show...emdr...walk abouts...law of attraction...the reiki stuff from the past

[joanns]

I get the feeling the story is made up as we go along. They really don't know where they are going with it.

[irenefotou]

A positive and powerful way of thinking 👌❤️

[annm]

That would NEVER happen in real life. Maybe that's why it's in a show? This series does a very good job of jumping back and forth to likely somewhat scenarios and super unrealistic ones.

[beth.darvell]

I still can't believe they cheated Allison and Cole out of a happy ending. I like how they managed to do S5 but I hate that Allison never got the chance to change her narrative.

[mhd]

Valuable lesson for all the girls out there who always complain about men

[MrBobcholmes]

always liked this show until this year. some of the story lines are really stupid.

[waynehoxit]

Was there a main reason Alison felt a lot of pressure just asking
