The new episode is now streaming on Apple TV+.
Naomi was in the house of the old fisherman who had befriended Frankie. It’s possible this small uneducated village never went out far enough to see a whale. Stella never confronted Will because she was, in a way, glad Will was going to have someone in his life after she died. That was the whole reason she asked for Cora to visit her when she was sick.
