And in the shows fifth episode, much of that carefully laid groundwork finally pays off.

Take the flashback scene where the young Alma sits, observing as her parents argue about her future.

Undoneplays another version of the same trick in the subsequent scene, after Alma gets her cochlear implant.

So: What should Alma do?

Their subsequent confrontation certainly seems like its headed toward another breakup.

And then, crucially, Alma relives a memory with Sam that shedoesntshare.

WhatUndoneis implicitly arguing here is that truly understanding a difference in perspective is a fast-track to forgiveness.

But with Sams secret out in the open, Alma decides its her turn to come clean.

Sams initial reaction Uhhhhhhhhhh is understandable.

The real question is whether or not hell move past it.

Weve already seen how much Alma can learn to understand about Sam with the benefit of her special ability.

By the next episode, well see just how much Sam can understand Alma without it.

So Sams big secret is out in the open.

Whats the over-under on when Reed Hollingsworth will find out Becca cheated on him with the bartender?

Sam says Alma is the only person, living or dead, who understands him except Maya Angelou.

Weve heard a lot about Geraldine throughoutUndone, but weve rarely seen her.

I hope shes due for a spotlight episode soon.
