Saying goodbye, letting go, is never simple, especially when there was an apparently perfect love, like Dina and Doug’s. In this week’s episode, Dina and Allura face that same dilemma through very different paths. Dina clings to happy memories and refuses to accept Doug’s earthly end. Allura, on the other hand, cannot let go of the dream of a perfect love — one she never had and never will have with Chase — and follows a path painfully familiar to many women: seeing what is obvious through the wrong lens. Chase is no good. Yet Allura wants him anyway. Bad-boy heart? Let’s dive into the recap of “Letting Go.”

Dina gets ready in front of the mirror like it’s an ordinary morning. A routine gesture. But Doug’s body still lying in the bed reminds us that nothing is ordinary. She lies beside him and talks as if he were still there. It’s creepy, tragic, devastating.

At the office, Liberty waits for Emerald and Allura but can barely engage. She’s distracted, torn by guilt for leaving Dina alone and eaten by jealousy because Dina spoke directly to the others — not to her. Allura tries to calm her down. Liberty explodes: as an Australian, she feels excluded from the “American sisterhood” of the firm. She lists every moment she’s been left out, including Allura’s divorce hearing. Nothing reassures her. Emerald and Allura beg her not to go after Dina.

Of course, Liberty goes anyway.

She arrives at Dina’s house at the same time as Carr. The usual hostility flares up instantly. They clash, compete for intimacy, force their way inside. Dina sits alone in the kitchen, trying to grieve in isolation. The shock hits fast: Doug’s body is still in the house. A ticking time bomb — and neither of them truly sees it coming.

The scene turns painfully awkward. Everyone tries to show empathy through personal grief comparisons — each one worse than the last. Allura compares it to her divorce. Carr speaks of a cat she once lost. Liberty tries to be rational and pragmatic. Dina remains polite, barely holding herself together. Ironically, it’s Carr who gets it right. She offers to stay in silence. Dina accepts.

Elsewhere, Allura meets Chase for dinner. He expects romance. She brings divorce papers. They talk about Doug’s death. Allura says she doesn’t want to carry resentment and officially forgives him. For a moment, they reconnect. Chase asks for another chance. Allura sets one condition: he must apologize to every woman he slept with. She has a list.

What follows is a parade of hollow, humiliating apologies. None are accepted. Until he encounters his trans ex-girlfriend, Maria, the only moment when he seems genuinely affected. She’s practical: she knew it was transactional. She doesn’t hold it against him. Much.

The hardest confrontation is with Milan. Chase turns to Allura for help. She reminds him that those apologies aren’t for Milan — they’re for himself. Milan refuses everything and chooses the court to settle the custody issue.

The next day, Liberty returns to Dina’s and is blocked by Carr, who is now fully in charge of the house. Their argument escalates. Carr even threatens to take Liberty’s place at the firm.

At the funeral Carr organizes, Emerald is stunned by the size of the crowd — and the party-like atmosphere. Carr reveals the truth: Dina refuses to come downstairs. Doug’s body is still in the bedroom. Three days later. Nervous, Carr asks Emerald for help. A fragile bond forms between them.

In the bedroom, surrounded by travel photos and memories, Emerald finally speaks the hardest truth with quiet compassion: Doug is gone. He won’t return. Dina resists, saying she needs time before she can let him go. Then everything collapses. Dina explodes in grief — saying she has the right to lose control after a lifetime of discipline. She lists all the moments she missed with Doug while building her career. And she finally cries — fully, openly, painfully.

Meanwhile, Liberty, completely tone-deaf, hires Scottish musicians for the funeral. It couldn’t be more wrong. Emerald silences her with a single look. For Liberty, it’s not just a mistake — it’s another symbolic victory for Carr.

Allura brings Chase and Milan together at the lawyer’s office. The conversation disintegrates into physical violence. Milan hits Chase. He walks away from any agreement and coldly reminds her she once betrayed him, too. Now, everything will be decided in court.

Allura arrives late at the funeral. Liberty and Carr are still sparring like rivals. Emerald realizes that only the four of them together can truly reach Dina. Liberty and Carr apologize. Nothing changes — until Emerald finds the right words: that body is no longer Doug. His essence has moved on. To keep living, Dina must let go.

For the first time, Dina agrees.

Later, the four women — yes, Carr included — talk about love, loss, and the fear of attachment. Dina thanks them. Doug’s body is finally taken from the house.

And Allura? After witnessing all of this — grief, rupture, truth — she goes straight from the funeral to Chase’s bed.

The next morning, he asks what made her change her mind. She answers: physical need, emotional need, or simply seeing him fight for his child.

He asks for another chance.
Allura hesitates.

Does anyone really believe this won’t end badly?
