The show is cementing its theme, commenting on how performance overpowers authenticity and everything becomes optics. Laura's downfall is now real. Read on to know the complete recap of Episode 5 of The Girlfriend.
Here is what happened in The Girlfriend Episode 5
As mentioned, the episode opens with Daniel and Laura encountering Cherry in an elevator. Daniel ends up desperately questioning Cherry on how she could ghost him just like that, while Cherry finally exposes Laura's truth.
Daniel turns to Laura, feeling betrayed and hurt by what she did to end his love life, while Cherry is calling Laura a psychopath for doing that. Laura ends up calling Daniel to explain her side of the story.
Laura begins losing control both personally and professionally. Harriet is with Daniel, and as a result, she doesn't call her, making Laura miss an important appointment. She impulsively fires Harriet, and she retaliates, launching an online campaign exposing Laura's unfair dismissal and filing a lawsuit against her.
Laura, regardless, signs her ex-lover Lilith for an upcoming exhibition, hinting at further complications in The Girlfriend.
How did Episode 5 of The Girlfriend end?
On the night of Lilith’s exhibition, Cherry attends the gallery. Laura takes Cherry into her office, where they end up arguing. She acts violently on Cherry, and even this turns into a theatrical spectacle.
Cherry runs, staging her bloodied exit, hitting her head with a champagne bottle during the exhibition in the gallery space. Therefore, Laura's ruined personal life becomes another spectacle in the exhibition.
Daniel had confessed to Cherry that his memory before his accident was hazy, but he recalled that he had proposed to Cherry. Cherry doesn't confront Daniel but simply starts to pack her things, triggering the anxiety within Daniel of losing her again. Desperately, he proposes to Cherry again.
Therefore, by the end of Episode 5 of The Girlfriend, Laura has ruined her life personally as well as professionally, while Cherry emerges as more than a gold digger, a genuine lover of Daniel, but is also in a race to win against Laura.
Meanwhile, Daniel only appears as a pawn, mirroring the viewer's confusion. At last, the episode reinforces the show's theme that even "love" can become a performance, a spectacle, losing its authenticity.
