At the end of episode seven, he finally begins to come clean with his therapist. Why is it so important for him to tell someone the truth? One of the things he harbors so much guilt about is having lied to Shayla and the resulting consequences. Here’s an opportunity for another person, a maternal figure in his life who he actually respects, to say it out loud to. It’s an opportunity to remove the two of them, himself and her, from anything that might put her in a similar situation [to Shayla] in the future. Giving her some of the information he knows removes some of the guilt and fear of losing her as well. - Rami Malek
