S1, E6: Connell (Paul Mescal) and Marianne are back together. Connell (Paul Mescal) has gained confidence in college; giving presentations in class and getting good grades but is reluctant to show Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) affection in front of her friends. Will the two be able to admit that they are together? Things take a negative turn when Marianne goes home and argues with her brother Alan (Frank Blake) and Connell loses the part-time restaurant job that funds his life in Dublin. Connell is torn when Marianne returns to Dublin distant and distracted, and finds himself once again, unable to share his worries.
