is the fourth episode of the Starz Original Series Counterpart. This is the first of three Season 1 episodes directed by Alik Sakharov (House of Cards, Black Sails). Both Sides Now is written by Erin Levy (Mindhunter, Mad Men)
This episode is the first real look at Dimension Two in the series so far as Howard Silk switches places with his counterpart.
Both Howards deepen their investigation of the conspiracy. Quayle meets one of Howard's sources. Clare must decide what to do about Baldwin.
In the message transfer scene, one of the customs agents is played by Counterpart unit production manager Philipp Barnett.
Most of the skyscrapers seen in Dimension Two are added by visual effects. One of the most striking additions to the Berlin skyline is the pyramid-shaped Memorial Arch which D1 Howard passes on the way to his D2 apartment. Creator Justin Marks explains "I don’t want to get into too many spoilers, but the Memorial Arch for the victims of The Flu which is this triangular thing that sits there. ... At no point does the show actually address the fact that it’s a Memorial Arch."
Writer Erin Levy is married to fellow Counterpart writer Gianna Sobol. They met on their first day in the writers' room back in 2015.
According to Levy, the writers debated which alcoholic beverage would be considered the "good stuff" that D1 Howard is saving to celebrate Emily's recovery. The decided it was Pappy Van Winkle.
In Dimension One, D2 Howard takes out the trash from his counterpart’s apartment. He sees a man fall on the sidewalk, and, while helping him to his feet, slips him a small scroll of paper.
The man places the scroll in a magnetic key case and sticks it on a park bench.
A younger man in a cap retrieves the case and takes out the scroll. He works in customs at the Office of Interchange and secretly slips the scroll into the bag of man crossing over from D1 to D2.
A customs officer on the other side retrieves the note as he checks the man’s bag. He places it in a small tube and secures the tube under a park bench where Raash (Marco Khan) later retrieves it in Dimension Two. He reads what appears to be a set of random numbers.
Howards decide to switch places to deepen their investigation, but it seems they both deviate the original plan. The conspiracy seems to go deeper than just some rogue group of dissidents. In 'Both Sides Now' we spend an equal amount of time in the Prime world than in the Alpha world.
