Cover Story this week
Happily never after Fresh problems abound in season 4 of ‘The Affair’
By Francis Babin TV MediaThe memory is a tricky thing — not everyone perceives an event the same way. Be it a car accident or a simple encounter at the grocery store, one story can have any number of sides to it. Explore the lives of those affected by an extramarital relationship and examine it from multiple perspectives in a new episode of “The Affair,” airing Sunday, Aug. 5, on Showtime.
“The Affair” premiered in 2014 to glowing reviews and numerous accolades. The Showtime original was praised for its unique concept and its captivating look at truth and desire. Since its first broadcast, the award-winning series has continuously demonstrated Newton’s third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. An extramarital relationship does not simply impact the two illicit parties, or even their partners, but so many more people.
Over the course of three and a half seasons, many additional characters have been absorbed into the orbit of the show’s four main players: Noah (Dominic West, “The Wire”) and Helen Solloway (Maura Tierney, “ER”), and Alison (Ruth Wilson, “Luther”) and Cole Lockhart (Joshua Jackson, “Fringe”). Like a black hole, the quartet pulls in anything — or in this case, anyone — that comes near it.
Late Laughs
Conan
It’s come out that President Trump’s new communications director has changed the White House lighting so Trump looks younger. Even more impressive, the new lighting makes Melania look happy.
In the first season, we’re introduced to Noah, a struggling writer and New York City public school teacher, his wife, Helen, and their four children. Seemingly perfect on the outside, the family is in fact far from it. Noah resents the family’s dependence on his wealthy father-inlaw, and the feeling of inadequacy and failure to provide is only exacerbated by the constant belittling that he suffers at the hands of his in-laws.
After finding success early on in his career by publishing a novel, Noah has now become frustrated with his life, and one can hardly blame him. With overbearing in-laws, an unsatisfying job and the failure to live up to expectations, it’s no surprise that he’d want to shake things up and break free from the doldrums of everyday life.
During a family vacation in the resort town of Montauk, New York, the would-be novelist is in full midlife crisis mode. A chance meeting with local waitress Alison, who is desperately trying to piece her life and marriage back together, is the beginning of the titular affair and the disintegration of two marriages. Ultimately, this encounter kicks off a series of events that no one could have predicted.
The story of this steamy summer fling is told from Noah’s and Alison’s perspectives. Naturally, the two viewpoints differ wildly
into their spouses’ persolution of their marriages and the strugward. To add yet another angle, there’s a threeyear time jump
seasons 2 and 3, which offers a fresh narrative from Noah’s new love interest, Juliette Le Gall (Irène Jacob, “Eternity,” 2016).
After three seasons on the East Coast, it was time for a change. This season, Noah is struggling to adjust to his new life in Los Angeles. He moved to the City of Angels to be closer to his kids, but he now finds himself clashing with his exwife more than ever.
The current season explores the concept of moving along, according to series co-creator Sarah Treem. This go around, we find Noah, Helen, Alison and Cole drifting further and further apart from where they all began. Each of them is now involved with new people, but whether they can truly leave the past behind is the real challenge.
Treem talked at length about the new season earlier this year at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas, and how the four will deal with new beginnings, tragic ends and the ever-elusive possibility of forgiveness.
Not unlike the Solloways, who are having a challenging time in La La Land, Alison is also having trouble with her attempt at a fresh start. Things aren’t going according to plan, and matters only worsen when she is faced by a couple from her past who threaten to expose her origins.
Alison is not only having trouble in the present but also in the future. In a flashforward, Cole and Noah are desperately searching for their former lover who has gone missing, leaving much to wrap up in the final episodes of the season.
Match of the Month
Margaret Schrader is a teacher at Riverside School and met Tyisha on the playground during recess. Tyisha was always there with a smile and a twinkle in her eye. They became Kinship Partners over two years ago and have made many awesome memories.
These two are always looking for fun things to do together; from going out for lunch, to going to their first Minnesota Twins game.
Margaret is thankful for Tyisha and her ability to always make her laugh. They have a special friendship and both look forward to many more fun times together.
Congratulations to Tyisha and Margaret on your Match of the Month! We hope you continue to share some great memories as you make an impact in one another’s lives.
Be a Friend. Be a Mentor.
Why not start your own friendship journey?
The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon (repeat)
Today, first lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. And this isn’t good — she brought her passport and everything she owns.
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
As the New York Times put it: “Mr. Trump kicked off his meetings on a contentious note.” Contentious is his ONLY note! He’s a human air horn.
The Late Late Show With James Corden (repeat)
For months, the FBI has been questioning witnesses about possible collusion between the Trump administration and Russia, and, according to a new report, Donald Trump has been asking the witnesses what questions came up in the interview. Trump’s basically that kid who didn’t study for a test and he’s like, “What did you get for No. 2?”
Late Night With Seth Meyers (repeat)
Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie are rolling out a new payment program which allows online shoppers to pay in installments later rather than in full, called Afterpay. Not to be confused with the program they have at Taco Bell, where you always pay for it later.
The end is near and our time with these characters is nearly over, not just for the current season but for the series as a whole — Treem has indicated that the fifth season would be the show’s last. We’re quickly approaching the last leg of Noah, Helen, Alison and Cole’s journey, but there’s no shortage of loose ends to take care of before we get there — not the least of which are the events leading up to Alison’s disappearance and whether Noah will survive Los Angeles.
Tune in to a new episode of “The Affair,” airing Sunday, Aug. 5, on Showtime to find out more about the lives of those affected by an extramarital relationship.

Summer sizzles: New cooking competition turns up the heat

Summer:
it’s the season of long days, starry nights and fun-filled vacations. It’s also a time of year that Food Network has embraced wholeheartedly, with a new show, special or series seeming to come along almost every week during this sweltering season.
This week, the channel launches a new, four-episode series that pits chefs against one another in culinary competition. “Ultimate Summer Cook-Off” premieres Sunday, Aug. 5, with a $25,000 grand prize on the line and former “Food Network Star” winner and “Kids BBQ Championship” co-host Eddie Jackson hosting. “Southern and Hungry” co-host Damaris Phillips
and celebrity chef Jamika Pessoa serve as the competition’s judges, along with a rotating group of guest judges that includes “Comfort Food Tour” hosts Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey.
The competitors all have some sort of summery connection, with one owning a restaurant that sits on a beach and another hailing from Hawaii, the land of eternal summer. There are no amateurs here, either — these are all seasoned pros who have built their careers on meals that help people beat the heat, and each and every one of them has eyes only for that prize money.
The chefs tackle their first challenge in this week’s premiere, and it’s all about burgers. Similar to “Chopped” fashion, in each episode’s first challenge, the chefs
crack open a container — in this case, a cooler — filled with mystery ingredients to use in the dish. Unlike in “Chopped,” though, the coolers don’t all contain the same items; every chef gets a different set of basic foodstuffs to use, and there’s no way of knowing what the coolers contain until after they’ve been picked.
The winner of the first round gets an advantage for the second challenge: a special cooler packed full of luxury summer ingredients, to which the other chefs don’t get access. With $25,000 up for grabs, that’s the kind of leg up that can make or break a chef’s summertime dreams in “Ultimate Summer Cook-Off.”
