Turn spent the majority of this week’s episode continuing to flesh out the relationship between Abe Woodhull and Anna Strong, which was fine by me as it gave the increasingly compelling Heather Lind more opportunities to shine amongst this talented ensemble.
Abe and Anna journeyed to New York together on separate missions – Abe to sell produce and hunt for secrets and Anna to recover her recently paroled husband. While alone, Anna seizes the opportunity to demand that Abe finally explain why he broke off their secret engagement years earlier. It’s a question many have asked as Abe so clearly belongs with Anna and not the colorless Mary once promised to his dead brother. As usual, Abe defers the truth, falling back on claims of family responsibility. No one is satisfied by the answer.
