The journey of Eli, a child psychologist, and his young patient Noah in Before is unlike any other. The series has mixed elements of horror, supernatural encounters, and psychological tension, creating an intense, emotionally charged narrative. While some moments have stood out and others have faltered, the suspense has been unwavering as Eli’s skepticism gradually turns to belief.
With each episode, Eli faces mounting evidence that challenges his scientific worldview, forcing him to question the nature of reality. He also grapples with unresolved feelings about his late wife, Lynn, who seems to haunt him both in his home and in his mind.
As we eagerly anticipate Episode 5, let’s look back at Episode 4’s events and preview what’s to come.
What Happened in Before Episode 4?
Episode 4 opens with another session between Eli and Noah, where Eli encourages Noah to draw with a pen. While Noah eventually agrees, he becomes fixated on the pen, keeping it throughout the episode, adding a sense of mystery and foreboding.
As the episode unfolds, tension builds without clear answers. Eli continues to be haunted by his late wife, Lynn, yet the circumstances of her death remain elusive. We do, however, learn more about her final days, particularly through one of her drawings, which mirrors a pattern Noah had drawn earlier. The connection between Eli, Noah, and Lynn becomes more perplexing, suggesting a deeper mystery Eli is only beginning to uncover.
What Can You Expect from Before Episode 5?
In Episode 5, viewers can expect some long-awaited revelations. Noah’s behavior at the hospital, where he fiercely resisted attempts to take the pen from him, hints that his condition is deteriorating rather than improving. We anticipate that Eli will dig deeper into Noah’s psyche, hoping to uncover the root of his escalating behavior.
Eli’s exploration of his wife’s past also intensifies. He may uncover recordings of Lynn’s ex-boyfriend, which could either bring him closure or plunge him further into confusion. Eli’s discoveries about Lynn might be the key to understanding both his haunting experiences and Noah’s connection to these unsettling events.
