'The Little Drummer Girl': Fans are confused about the flashbacks in Episode 2, but it all adds up

The flashback to the gold watch and the eventual love-making scene are confusing but they are needed to push the story forward.

Fans are baffled by the continuous shift in narrative timeline of 'The Little Drummer Girl' and are now taking to Twitter to voice their doubts about Charlie and Salim's past.
