All’s Fair Season 1 Episode 8 Upends the Love Triangle: What Really Happened Between Carr, Chase and Allura

If you thought last week was the last gasp for Allura and Chase, Episode 8 shows up and laughs in your face. This hour barrels straight into the mess: Carr slides into Chase's orbit, the firm plays musical chairs at 30,000 feet, Detective Morrow cranks the pressure, and then the episode tags out with one of those late-game reveals that makes the upcoming two-part finale feel inevitable.

The investigation tightens (and Dina shuts it down)

We pick up with Detective Morrow tightening his case around Lloyd Walton, the guy who attacked Emerald. On top of that, Morrow leans on Emerald (Teyana Taylor) and Liberty about a separate situation involving a staged suicide that looks a lot like murder. Dina (Glenn Close) walks in at the exact right moment, pulls rank, and tells Morrow to come back with a warrant. He leaves empty-handed, but he is not going away.

Carr, Chase, Allura: a triangle with a blowtorch

Meanwhile, the show pivots hard into the most chaotic corner of its love map. Carrington (Sarah Paulson) — Carr to basically everyone — spends a night watching movies with her confidant Sebastian, who nudges her to re-enter the dating pool. She admits she is unexpectedly into Chase (Matthew Noszka), Allura's ex and former client. That dare becomes a plan.

• Chase tries to reconcile with Allura (Kim Kardashian). She tells him they need space and to get back to his sex-addiction program. Timing could not be worse: Carr finds him at the gym, starts massaging his back, flirts hard, and says he reminds her of her childhood crush, Jesus — yes, that Jesus.
• Chase tries to tap the brakes, says he has a recovery meeting. Carr pushes. He caves. They have sex in her office. After, she tells him she understands compulsions and quietly reveals self-harm scars. It's intimate, it is messy, and he immediately regrets it.
• Chase goes to Allura, returns an engraved watch, and fesses up: he relapsed and slept with Carr. The argument goes nuclear.

'Frigid.'

That one-word insult lands like a brick — and he twists the knife by saying Carr is more open to his kink. Not exactly a path back to trust.

It gets worse. Chase shows up later in Carr's office in a firefighter costume for more role-play. In the middle of it, he slips and calls her 'Allur, a'. Carr freezes. She is nobody's consolation prize, and the slip exposes exactly where his heart still is.

By the end of the episode, Carr floats the idea of a real relationship over dinner. Chase shuts it down and says they should end whatever this is. Door closed... for now.

Partner games at cruising altitude (and in Paris)

On the firm side, the power shuffle begins. After icing Morrow's interrogation, Dina proposes a sudden dash to Paris Fashion Week. On the plane, she makes two things clear: she is not joining the firm full-time — she wants less on her plate after her husband Doug's death — and it's time to add another name to the door.

Dina puts Carr's name forward, calling her misunderstood. Liberty (Naomi Watts) hates the idea so much she threatens to walk if Carr comes aboard. Emerald is more open and even lobs out another potential get: Alberta. It's a bold, oddly timed pitch mid-flight.

In Paris, Dina drops a heavy bit of backstory: Carr found her own father after his suicide. That humanizes Carr for Liberty just enough to move from 'absolutely not' to 'fine, let's interview her.'

The next day, Carr swings by Allura's stylist and shows up to the interview dressed basically as Allura. Subtle is not the vibe. Allura fires first, telling Carr she will never join the firm. The group overrides that and lets Carr prove herself on a live case as part of the interview.

The case: a custody fight with Senator Bob Bishop. Carr digs up an old radio interview that could wreck him publicly and uses it as leverage. He folds. Dina is impressed — effectiveness over etiquette wins the day.

The reveal: what Carr actually wants

Then the kicker. After acing the trial run, Carr tells Sebastian the quiet part out loud: getting into the firm is step one in a plan to destroy it. So yes, the invitation they are debating is also a Trojan horse with perfect hair and a killer wardrobe.

Where this leaves us
