This Week on ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’: Ewan McGregor Almost Gets Arrested

This week’s episode of A Gentleman in Moscow finally gets the heart racing. It’s been five long weeks in the Metropol Hotel holding cell, but now, Count Alexander Rostov (Ewan McGregor) is breaking out.

Everything starts out like usual. We’ve hopped a little over a decade into the future, now in 1947, where high school-aged Sofia (Beau Gadsdon) is giving Alexander (who she now calls Papa, so sweet) flack over him caring too much about boys and homework. When Alexander catches Sofia taking piano lessons from a boy her age—gasp, piano lessons!—he screams at her in the hotel lobby. Alex is very protective over his adopted daughter.

Anna (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Olga (Anastasia Hille) have also taken part responsibility over Sofia. Anna is especially perturbed by Alex’s helicopter parenting when she’s been giving Sofia plenty of advice on boys. Alex demands that Anna stop trying to step over him as Sofia’s primary guardian, but Anna fights back—she has done so much to help Anna become the woman she is today. Alex should be thanking her, not chastising her.
