The Flight Attendant S1 Ep 6: After Dark
The Flight Attendant Season 1, Episode 6 recap: After Dark
In The Flight Attendant Episode 6, we find out what happened to Max, and Cassie finally hits rock bottom when she loses her friendship with Annie.
The Flight Attendant Episode 6 is not a good episode for Cassie as she finally hits rock bottom in the aftermath of Max’s accident. Annie is livid with Cassie for dragging Max into a situation that put him in the hospital. The worst part is, Cassie doesn’t have anything to show for their espionage in the Lionfish warehouse as the Hello Kitty flash drive is nowhere to be found.
Annie reaches her threshold of tolerance for Cassie’s bulls–t in “After Dark.” She kicks Cassie out of her apartment and tells her in no uncertain terms that she’s done and doesn’t want anything more to do with the tangled web Cassie has concocted. To be fair, while Cassie has made many terrible mistakes and is in desperate need of rehab — not everything is her fault. The biggest problem is that Cassie lacks any proof, and many of her problems sound like the ravings of a drunk, so Annie doesn’t necessarily believe all of her stories or incidences like what happened at the warehouse.
The FBI doesn’t believe Cassie either, at least, Agent White doesn’t. Thankfully, Agent Hammond finally seems to be catching on that Cassie’s isn’t entirely out of her mind when they discover the empty Lionfish warehouse and link that, the Sokolov family and Unisphere to Cassie’s confession outside of Sabrina’s apartment from the last episode.
Losing Annie sends Cassie in a downward spiral that leaves her lonely, and we all know Cassie can’t stand being alone for more than a few minutes at best. A desperate Cassie calls Jada and Shane, one of whom isn’t interested in hanging out, and the other doesn’t answer. Next, she tries Megan, who does answer but immediately pings Cassie’s fake enthusiasm. Cassie accuses Megan of being a hypocrite during their call since she calls her all the time and leaves messages — even one in Korean. That gets Megan’s attention since she realizes she mistakenly recorded one of her secret conversations with the Seoul guys.She starts to believe that maybe Cassie is onto something big, while Agent White remains adamant that Cassie is the sole suspect in Alex’s murder, and that’s all there is to it. Not only is that just poor detective work, but it’s also narrow-minded and short-sighted. Then again, people like Agent White exist in our justice system, and while frustrating, it’s a realistic part of our world. Let’s hope Agent Hammond starts to figure out how to help Cassie before it’s too late.
The only other option in Cassie’s network is Buckley; the one guy she hasn’t alienated, who I’m almost positive is working for Victor. She and Buckley meet up to have sex and get plastered. They end up going to a local bar that Cassie frequents, and there she can’t help but sing along to a classic Dolly Parton song. I don’t blame her. Who wouldn’t jam out to Dolly?
The bartender streams Cassie’s performance online, and Megan’s son sees it, cueing his mother in on Cassie’s location. Wanting to catch up with Cassie to delete the voicemail, Megan immediately makes a beeline for the bar. In disguise, she manages to sneak in, steal Cassie’s phone, delete the message and return it to her and Buckley’s table before anyone even notices that it’s gone. Megan is getting pretty good at this espionage stuff.
Also, at the bar is the third main FBI guy who followed Cassie around at Alex’s memorial service. Under the influence of lots of alcohol, Cassie gets bold enough to confront him. He obviously denies that he’s following her, but he shoots off a quick text outside of the bar, confirming Cassie’s location. Before he can do anything else, Miranda (or Elena, as we learned last week) sneaks up behind him and slits his throat.
Tumbling drunk and disorderly out of the bar, Cassie gets it in her head to confront Annie and try to salvage their friendship despite dream!Alex warning her that their friendship is dead. He’s mostly right since Annie has no patience for Cassie waiting for her in her apartment with Buckley. Annie calls Cassie out on being a drunk, and Cassie calls Annie a liar. Both are true, Annie admits. She has things in her life she’s kept from Cassie — Max being one of them. At the end of the day, Annie wonders aloud, maybe their friendship just doesn’t work. And Annie is tired of cleaning up Cassie’s messes.
Everything that Annie has done to try and keep Cassie safe has put her in a dark place. The visit to the jail where she inadvertently facilitated a man’s death is a big part of that and weighing heavily on her conscience. To make amends, Annie submits her resignation to Diana.
The Flight Attendant Episode 6: Who bails Cassie out of jail?
Meanwhile, Cassie and Buckley decide to “do something crazy” in the aftermath of her fight with Annie. They steal a horse kiddie ride situated outside of a local convenience store. As expected, it ends badly when they stumble and send it careening into a parked car. The cops are called. Buckley and Cassie get arrested.
Alone in her jail cell, Cassie is left with no one but herself and dream!Alex for company. Throughout The Flight Attendant Episode 6, we continue to visit the dreamscape in her head as it becomes increasingly frenetic, and the dive into her traumatic childhood memories goes deeper. Left with her own thoughts, Cassie finally starts to see more and more of her edited memories for moments they really were — her father regularly abusing Davey — and her, for that matter.
Distraught, Cassie calls Davey using her single phone call and apologizes for the part she played in his humiliation as a kid. She tells Davey that it wasn’t right, how their father treated him. And Davey tells Cassie that it wasn’t right how he treated her, either! It’s a nice scene that really makes up for their previous spat.
These are two siblings who were both emotionally and physically abused by their father. He turned them against each other and caused a lot of grief for them both. I’m glad that Cassie reached out. Hopefully, they can start to get on a better path from here on out. Davey tries to encourage Cassie to tell him the truth about what’s going on, but she doesn’t want to drag anyone else into her mess.
Shortly after the call, a guard visits Cassie to tell her that she made bail. She’s surprised since there isn’t anyone who knows where she is apart from Davey, and he’s too far away to get here that fast. In the final moments of The Flight Attendant Episode 6, Cassie finds out that Miranda paid her bail. She steps outside and comes face-to-face with her long-time stalker, who pulls a gun on her. “We need to talk.” I’d say so!
