For me, "Stillness" provided such insight into who both Rafaela and Tamara are, as well as how they feel about each other. We see how Rafaela feels seen (maybe for the first time) and actually get a little insight into her life and mindset. For Tamara, we see how the feelings Rafaela is bringing up in her are more than just an extension of excitement about her work. Having that tension made the payoff of "Woman Is" much better and more emotionally connected for me (as it was last night, their first night together almost felt like a culmination of Tamara being obsessed with the idea of Rafaela and it being more of a casual hookup for Rafaela - which then made "Woman Is" not as emotionally driven). As the show currently is, like I said before, I had honestly thought they might have changed the Rafaela/Tamara relationship to more of a sexual, rather than also deeply emotional, one. It wasn't until maybe a quarter or half way through the second act that I realized they do still want us to see their relationship as very real and emotionally connected. I wish I still felt that from the beginning.
