Lisas Dream Sparks Tension in And Just Like That Season 3

In the latest episode of HBO Max’s popular series “And Just Like That,” the tension in Lisa Todd Wexley’s life reaches new heights, ignited by a revealing confession about a steamy dream involving her colleague Marion. This episode, which aired on July 17, 2025, showcases the complexities of desire, loyalty, and the blurred lines of professional relationships.

During a casual walk with Charlotte York, portrayed by Kristin Davis, Lisa, played by Nicole Ari Parker, opens up about a vivid dream she had featuring Marion, an editor on her docuseries. “I had a sex dream about my editor last night; it was very explicit, and I woke up very turned on,” she admits, setting the stage for a candid discussion. The dream unfolds in a farm setting, where Marion is depicted as a captivating figure, raising questions in Lisa’s mind about her own desires. “Why is this happening? I have a really great sex life with my very sexy husband,” she ponders, grappling with the conflict between her dream and her reality.

Charlotte, ever the supportive friend, reassures Lisa that dreams often do not reflect reality. “I don’t really think you need to feel guilty about a dream,” she advises, sharing her own experiences with dreams that diverge from her waking life. This moment of camaraderie brings a light-hearted touch to an otherwise intense situation.

Lisa takes her confession a step further, revealing that her flirtations with Marion extend beyond the realm of dreams. “Sometimes I flirt with him while we’re working,” she admits, acknowledging the unspoken chemistry that exists between them. Charlotte suggests that their connection could be attributed to a powerful creative synergy, to which Lisa enthusiastically agrees, coining the term “flirking” to describe their playful interactions.

The episode takes a pivotal turn when Lisa and Marion share a lunch at the office. Marion hints that he was thinking about Lisa the night before, which adds an electric charge to their conversation. Lisa, determined to remain loyal to her husband, responds with a subtle nod to her commitment: “I’m fine with what I have.” However, when Marion invites her to a screening of a documentary produced by the Obamas, Lisa finds herself torn between professional ambition and personal loyalty. Ultimately, the allure of the opportunity proves too tempting, leading her to cancel plans with both Charlotte and her husband.

As the plot thickens, the tension escalates during a theater scene where Marion’s leg brushes against Lisa’s. This seemingly innocent gesture sends her into a spiral of guilt and confusion. “It’s going past ‘flirking,’ Charlotte,” she exclaims over the phone after her hasty exit. “It’s now flirting. … His leg touched my leg. And not at work. I played with fire. I feel like the worst wife and mother.”

The episode brilliantly captures the emotional turmoil of its characters, showcasing the struggles of maintaining fidelity amidst temptation. Lisa’s internal conflict resonates with viewers, as many can relate to the complexities of desire and commitment.

Nicole Ari Parker, in an exclusive interview ahead of the season’s premiere, hinted at the challenges her character would face. “They really established the Wexleys [as a couple] … and they put a little danger in there,” she remarked, suggesting that the writers are not shying away from exploring the nuances of adult relationships.

“And Just Like That” continues to push boundaries, tackling themes of love, fidelity, and the intricacies of modern relationships. With each episode, the series invites viewers to reflect on their own lives while enjoying the glamorous yet relatable world of its characters.

As the season progresses, fans are left eagerly anticipating how Lisa will navigate her feelings for Marion while striving to maintain her marriage. The show airs every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max, promising more drama, laughter, and heartfelt moments in the weeks to come.
