My Brilliant Friend Recap: Behind Every Great Woman
Lenù finally joins Lila in her war with the Solara family.
There was that first adventure, confronting Don Achille to demand their dolls be returned; in early adulthood, Lenù adopted Lila’s plight in Soccavo’s factory as her own, using the means at her disposal to expose the subhuman conditions of the workers there. Mirroring the fateful day decades earlier when they resolved to get their dolls from the ogre-like Don Achille back, Lila decides she will confront the Solaras, with or without Lenù, who hesitates but ultimately follows her. • I thought it was gimmicky the way, at the beginning of the episode, when Lenù takes Enzo’s call, we cut to the opening sequence right before he tells her what’s wrong — it seems against the nature of the show to put in this kind of red herring when much of the tension is born out of the characters’ interpersonal relationships, rather than plot points.
