Cassie holds herself accountable for the whole incident and it was the start of alcohol abuse and trauma. On one such drinking spree, while traveling through the road, they met with a dreadful accident, killing her father instantly. This particular layer is explored brilliantly at the end when Cassie tells Alex’s illusion that she finds herself the reason for her father’s death as well because it is only with her, he used to drink recklessly and joyfully. She doesn’t hook up with strangers because she likes it, but basically because if she gets close to someone, she might spill her secrets out, which is something she is avoiding herself from doing. She plunges into her past and we realize it is not the first murder/accident she is hiding behind this image she has been portraying.

Unable to share this secret with anyone she gets very lonely. She can’t take off the visuals of the murder scene from her mind, but she also can’t remember what happened with Alex before they started drinking.Ĭassie’s flaw is that she is reckless and selfish, but the realization hits her harder after Alex’s murder. She leaves Bangkok from her work flight but the visions of Alex keep haunting her and talking to her. Cassie panics and leaves the hotel room, tampering with the evidence.

The expansion of the visual further brings into focus Alex’s dead body with his throat slashed. The next day, when Cassie wakes up in a hotel suite with Alex, she finds blood dripping from her hands. Cassie denies the offer at first but when she lands in Bangkok, they both spend a happening night together. Alex is very much interested in Cassie and invites her to roam around Bangkok with him. On a flight bound for Bangkok, Cassie meets a rich stranger, Alex Sokolov ( Michiel Huisman). Hence, she is in-attentive and believes in being in the moment rather than living it.

From the very first scene itself, the makers structure her skin telling the audience she doesn’t remember anything after she drinks, and she drinks a lot. The first season The Flight Attendant consists of 8 episodes of 40 minutes each, which brilliantly showcases the life and recklessness of Cassie Bowden.Ĭassie Bowden is a reckless flight attendant in an American airline. The creators manage to upheld the curiosity of the viewers through tight drama and thrills. The series is based on the novel of the same name written by Chris Bohjalian and the teleplay is developed by Steve Yockey.
