‘The Undoing’ Episode 4 ‘See No Evil’: Did Grace follow Jonathan and bludgeon Elena to death after he left?
Twisted and tortuous, ‘The Undoing’ gets darker as more secrets are revealed after Elena Alves (Matilda De Angelis) is found bludgeoned to death. The third episode ‘Do No Harm’ may have been a bit of a drag but it ended with a major cliffhanger. Towards the final scene, Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman) goes to the police to report Fernando Alves (Ismael Cruz Córdova), who she believes was stalking her and could still be a suspect in Elena's murder.
During her conversation with the detectives, she loses her cool and asks them if they found any video surveillance. At first, the detectives deny but then reveal that there was one camera a block away from the scene. Detective Joe Mendoza (Édgar Ramírez) lets the suspense build-up and then signals at his partner Detective Paul O’Rourke (Michael Devine) to reveal what they know.
He takes his laptop out and pulls out the video footage. As the zebra crossing comes into view, there is an image of a woman: it is Grace walking near the crime scene. Pat comes the question, “Exactly how well did you know Elena Alves?” The episode ends there as Grace clarifies she was just walking as she takes long walks around the city. Isn't it a coincidence that Grace was walking along the same path where his husband and Elena were having an affair?
Did Grace follow Jonathan after he left the fundraiser event that night? Remember how persistent Grace was to drop Elena home and even send her driver for the same? And the awkward kiss Elena planted on Grace's lips... Those scenes are far from being forgotten. Something is fishy. Directed by Susanne Bier and written by David E Kelley, the summary of the next episode reads: “As Haley (Noma Dumezweni) begins to shape the narrative of the case, Franklin (Donald Sutherland) uses his resources to help his family.” In the next episode, will Grace become the prime suspect and Jonathan's case take a backseat?
Can Haley protect both husband and wife from being charged for the murder? Who really killed Elena? Will the suspicion go back on Fernando? Or is it really their son Henry, who killed her? As new episodes roll out, the answers will be revealed. One fan opined, “Grace definitely did it. But the question is....did she dissociate? Or did she pin this on her husband and knew of the affair all along?” and another said, “My theory of #TheUndoing is that Grace did it, framed her husband to get dads money to hire a very good lawyer to ‘muck’ things up. This way both get cleared. OR Elena murdered herself... I don’t know anymore.”
