The 6th episode of My Brilliant Friend Season 4, titled The Cheat, majorly focused on Elena discovering Nino’s infidelity and leaving her to seek refuge at Lila’s house. She takes her daughter Immacolata with her.

When Lila informs her that Nino had persuaded her even before and throughout his relationship and marriage with Elena, it breaks her. She also realizes that she needs to focus more on her life instead of always putting Nino first.

The episode also showed the death of Elena’s mother and how the mother and daughter were able to reach a certain kind of warmth before she passed away.

From where episode 6 ended, it can be expected that episode 7 will explore how Elena’s life has been affected since the discovery of Nino’s unfaithful character.

According to the official synopsis provided by Warner Bros. Discovery, the story is likely to go deeper into the adult lives of Elena and Lila against the backdrop of 1980s Italy, a period marked by social unrest and political violence.

This setting also emphasizes the turbulent times that Elena has to deal with as she navigates the struggles of motherhood, her career, and the blows of betrayal that have become familiar at this point.

The preview of episode 7 also hints that it is finally time for Elena to grapple with the reality of Nino’s betrayal and its consequences in her life.

Since she needs to introspect and find a way to move forward while taking care of herself, the 7th episode is likely to focus on Elena’s journey to growth and healing.

Moreover, it is also clear that going forward, the dynamics of Lila and Elena’s friendship will now be tested like never before, another plot point that episode 7 might focus on.

My Brilliant Friend can be streamed on HBO.
