Vivian continues to neglect her responsibilities as a mother, leaving Jack to take care of the crib and deal with other parenting duties on his own. With her Anna wall still up, Vivian pursues leads by traveling to Nora. ..

Nora tells Vivian that she knows about Vivian’s past and that she will protect Vivian’s identity. Nora reveals that she and Chase stayed with Vivian for several months in 2014. Anna didn’t want to take daddy’s money anymore so she decided to go on her own. Chase meanwhile, put all his money into his start-up. Nora saw straight through Anna though, calling her a “name dropper” and reveals how she never got up before noon. Nora also wasn’t fond of Chase either.

This timeline jumps to right after the Val incident, with Anna and Chase staying at Nora’s place. Anna has a meeting with three prominent people in the morning; lead architect Gabriel Calatrava, Sasha Thomas, the founder and lead gallerist at Thomas & Fortman; and the third happens to be Richard Lavin, who manages all of Manhattan’s highest-end properties.

Anna Delvey is a young woman who is trying to start her own business. She meets some influential women while she’s working on her business and they help her get started. Anna end up meeting a lot of people who are important in the world and she learned a lot from them.

Meanwhile, Chase decides to leave and heads to Open Air Berlin, only it turns out it was actually cancelled this year. So where is Chase? Anna is a mess and winds up drinking and leaving numerous voicemails asking that very question.

As Vivian continues on the trail of finding out where Chase is, we learn that in 2015, Silicon Valley actually invested $3 million into Chase’s app but despite being the next big thing, he went dark several months later. It appears as if everything has gone wrong for him and he’s hiding from his investors. There are rumblings that he’s in Dubai working for the Sheikh. So naturally, Vivian begins ringing around to numerous hotels in an effort to figure out if that’s where he really is.

Anna visits again and this time, it sheds more light on Chase’s finances. He is about to receive a 2 million investment from Nora’s friend. If Nora finds out about his finances, it will be game over for him. For Anna, she claims again that Chase was just an inconvenience. ..

Vivian tracks down Chase and they videocall to discuss what happened between him and Anna. Vivian learns that Chase’s company, Wake, was not doing well and he was swimming in debt and responsibilities. Anna “let slip” about Wake’s issues to Nora in order to get what she wanted. This was Anna’s way of getting Chase to fall. ..

Nora brings Anna rather than Chase to her big art fundraiser, which helps get Anna’s name out and pinch the connections that Chase and Nora had worked so hard to secure. They eventually part ways though, with Chase even urging her to let him have 40% off the Anna Delvey Foundation. Naturally, she refuses. ..

Vivian heads to see Catherine again after hearing the news. She asks about Nora’s complaint against Anna, and Catherine refuses to answer. Vivian then claims that the real crook in all this was actually Chase, and her sources back this up. ..

Catherine opens up and admits that someone changed their mind about pressing charges. Nora is the person who changed their mind. There are a whole bunch of different charges on Nora’s card, which links back to when Anna signed for Nora at the shop. Anna ended up clocking an eye-watering amount of $400k on Nora’s account.

Nora claims that she dropped off a package for Anna at the time, which Vivian believes could be enough evidence to disprove Anna’s innocence. ..

Vivian eventually heads off to see Todd, urging him to let her be part of the team. Eventually he caves and it gives Vivian a big break. With a lot of big details to go on, Paul and the team allow Vivian to have a couple more weeks on the task.

The Episode Review

I don’t think Vivian is a very good journalist. She seems to be biased from the start and she’s not even trying to be impartial. She’s immediately gone into this head-first, deciding that Chase is the one to blame and there must be a reason for Anna’s indiscretions. The fact that she’s jumping to the defence’s side and urging people to be patient just reeks of bias. ..

The third episode of the show gave more clarity over what happened with Chase, how Anna played him like a fool, and how Anna managed to worm her way into the upper echelons of society – as well as committing credit card fraud. It’s quite the play but we’ll have to wait and see what Vivian has to make of all this, especially as she manages to uncover a whole wealth of details over Anna’s history. ..

With each episode of “The Walking Dead” clocking in at just over an hour, the show is long and the upcoming chapters look to be even longer too. Whether there’s enough story to justify that, remains to be seen.
