It was an intense episode of 'The Alienist' as Dr Lazlo Kreizler (Daniel Brühl), Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning) and John Moore (Luke Evans) struggled to solve the case of a missing infant. In the previous episode, the trio unearthed some clues while Kreizler decided to pursue hypnosis to make inroads into the case. After the initial reluctance, Sarah and Senora Linares agreed to go ahead with it.

In Episode 3, Kreizler delved deep into hypnosis and tried to make Senora Linares relive the traumatic day in the park. Coupled with some painting therapy, it turns out that they did make progress. Meanwhile, there was a creepy and terrifying Matron at the Lyins-In hospital, and Sarah is sure that she is linked to the missing baby. While fans were scared of the Matron while watching the episode, they also felt that "it would be too easy" if she were involved.

Nevertheless, what seemed to be the real point of discussion in today's episode was the hint of romance between John and Sarah. Fans are absolutely convinced that John loves Sarah and that his engagement with Violet is a "sham". The "looks" that were exchanged between Sarah and John at the end of the episode, seemed to suggest they have feelings for each other and John requesting Sarah to join his bachelor party made fans squeal in glee. Nothing pleases the fans, like a good ship. 

"THE ANGST John loves Sarah so much..." a fan tweeted. "Why whatever do you mean, John? Wow, John is quite jealous of Oggie’s flirtation with Sara. #TheAlienist," a fan noted as Ogden tried to flirt with Sarah. "John's calling Sara out on the night of his bachelor party. Read the signs, John. #TheAlienist," another wrote. "The fact that john knows it's Sara he should be with and that it's Sara he loves... yet he's still marrying Violet... #thealienist," a fan tweeted. 

"John knows that he is supposed to be engaged to Sara Howard. Laszlo needs to talks some sense into John. #TheAlienist #AngelOfDarkness," a fan exulted. "Dear John, Why aren't you and Sara together already? Signed, all of your frustrated shippers who can't take it anymore. #thealienist," wrote another wishful fan. "As if Violet has any right to be jealous of Sara. I doubt she doesn't know John's feelings for Sara. The engagement is a sham, it's clear that much. Violet and her jealousy need to go away. #thealienist," a fan wrote. 

"I think Laszlo is low key making a case for John and Sara to be together in his toast. #TheAlienist," another tweeted. "John saying "she does" make him happy about Violet while looking at Sara... #TheAlienist@theAlienistTNT," a fan tweeted. "Will love you like we do. Sara and John looking at each other. #TheAlienist," a fan wrote. "John is not a virtuous man if he’s leading Violet on and can’t admit his love for Sara. Though I feel sorry for him, he’s annoying me because it won’t end well and this marriage can not happen for his sake. #TheAlienist," a fan wrote.

Mystery, possible romance, what else makes for a good show?
