Eleanor is really an imperfect woman. I thought she was a good woman. She cared for her friend Nancy and she tried to find the murderer. She even was nice to Cora. But we see the flaws of her in the episode. She becomes the center of attention after her sleeping with Robert is found by Cora. Everyone blames Eleanor even if she did many good things before. But I can understand what she did. She has loved the man for many years. Now his wife is dead. The chance appears. Why wouldn’t she miss the chance? The problem is that Nancy is her best friend.
