Beautiful Mosaics

"**Beautiful Mosaics**" is the fourth episode of the Paramount+ American erotic psychological thriller miniseries *Fatal Attraction*. It aired on May 7, 2023.

## Synopsis

*A retelling of the emotional impact of Dan's betrayal from the perspective of Dan's wife, Beth. As the Gallagher's settle into their new home, Beth meets potential buyers for the house they are leaving and tries to ignore the gut feeling that something is not right in her marriage, until tragedy strikes and makes that impossible.*

## Plot

Ellen is talking to her therapist about finding out about her dad’s affair. Her therapist wonders if she needs to sit down and talk to her mom about everything that went down.

Back to the past, Beth and Ellen are returning from a couple of days of being gone at the new house, and there is a mysterious smell (in a good way) in the house.

While sorting out the clothes from the laundry, Beth finds the sock Dan borrowed from a co-worker at work. She looks at it weirdly and goes back to doing what she was doing. However, this causes Beth to start to put the pieces together about Dan and Alex.

Dan goes to Mike about Alex. Dan is unsure of what to do next, from her throwing acid at his car to her showing up at the open house.

Mike snaps at him for being so incredibly lazy about how he has handled the entire affair. Back in the present day, Dan is dressing up for a job interview. He meets with Frank, who is running a car insurance company, but Dan doesn’t have many nice things to say about him when he was going to prosecute his case.

Mike picks up Dan from his very bad job interview to meet with the landlord, who remembered Alex and her doctor neighbor, Paul.

The duo then meets with Paul and asks about his fingerprints being found at her apartment. He begins to unpack Alex for the two of them, her issues, and how she used things against him to get her own way.

Back in the day, Dan helped Jorge work through the ranks within the courts, and now he is repaying him the favor of giving him a job to work with him as a paralegal.

Dan goes to see an old friend from the firm, who isn’t thrilled about meeting with him, but she tells him how someone came to her about Alex and how she was having an affair with a married man and started to stalk him.

Regardless of the news being able to help Dan, she withheld it because he was trying to make Alex the person to blame for her murder. She eventually tells him it is Gabriel, the bailiff from one of his earlier cases.

In the past, after yet another incident at the Gallagher household involving Beth’s mother and the family dog, Dan knows it is Alex and calls Mike. Mike tells him on the phone that he will meet with her. He asks her if she plans on telling Beth, but she says, “I don’t think I’ll have to.” Thus, Dan decides to talk to Beth and saying he must tell her something.
