OMG! I was right that there was a twist we wouldn't see coming, but wrong about what it would be. I enjoyed this episode-I'm glad I stayed home today to catch it! It was certainly a roller coaster ride! |

I liked it...the acting was great...but I'm still annoyed they actually killed her off...the homophobes on FB are going to have a field day. Ugh.
Also, who killed the PI? The same guy that killed Lillian?
Also, nice throwback to Emily's first episode. They gave her the same first line about a corpse and a crime scene. This and her HUGGING Murdoch tell me the character is probably gone for good. Or at least the rest of this season.
Also, the way Emily nonchalantly dropped her secret was hysterical...especially Murdoch's reaction to it. And, 'We really don't need to talk about this, George.' 'No, it's okay, sir, I don't mind.' Lol.
Figures Julia knew. I would've been surprised if she hadn't.
So they weren't really living together then. They lived next door. I wasn't sure about what 'home' meant in episode 1.

I loved this ep and I never thought in a million years that I would have tears over these characters. The quality of acting tonight was absolutely SUPERB, especially Georgina. Well, I didn't have tears - yes, even I sometimes do - but I certainly felt for Lillian, she didn't deserve that. Glad she didn't end up as the evil person she could have. Still glad she's gone though. Loved Brackenreid in this ep! Georgina was fantastic, nice way to go out but it looks like they left it open if she wants to come back. William's reaction when he found out Emily was a sapphist, priceless.... All round great ep, on my third viewing too. |

Killing her wasn't my first choice either, but I think how they did it was well done. She died protecting a former lover which was quite noble and gallant-it's something hetero lovers have been seen doing for years, and there's no reason a lesbian couldn't be capable of such a thing. I'm just relieved that they chose not to have her be a psycho-which really would have given homophobes fuel. TBH, any way she would have left the show would have the homophobes crowing-but they're not getting her back with George-the end scene was beautiful with the two of them. She knows George is great guy and the one she should want-but she doesn't. |

That's a good question...was it the husband who stole the info he needed or was he trying frame her for it? They certainly led us down that path for a moment, but that's not how it ended up at all to me. Lillian was redeemed posthumously. |

I had the twitter feed going while I watched round 2. Very interesting with Georgina and Sara Mitch tweeting along but I don't know how people can tear themselves away from the action long enough to post!
Excellent episode all around. The writers and cast have outdone themselves, I always look at the tweets after the ep finishes, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen long enough before. |

She knows George is great guy and the one she should want-but she doesn't. But she wasn't entirely gallant...she WAS having an affair. And I guess we could make allowances because of the time period, and how the hubby obviously would never in a million years grant a divorce. It was only really one step up from what William and Julia were up to in S6...And at least she wasn't cheating on Emily. Hmm, yeah, that's sadly true. If she comes back only to date George I would probably scream. |

The guy she helped finish off didn't die and then he went and killed the PI and then waited 4 months to go and kill Lillian? |

She knows George is great guy and the one she should want-but she doesn't. I'm glad to be feeling sympathetic towards Lillian. She annoyed the **** out of me most of time but I was glad to get a plausible explanation as to why she was so high strung and I never felt she deserved to die...just going off to London would have been sufficient. As soon as Georgina decided to leave, Lillian's departure was guaranteed. Loved Brackenreid stepping in to help Emily when Murdoch's questions could lead to revealing her secret, and the farewell kiss on the forehead. He really does see them as his second family. The last scene with George and Emily was so perfect for their characters. To my mind they were always best as devoted buddies. I was glad that I didn't read any expression of "I'm losing another good woman" in his eyes. It's was so sweet when he told her she had to let go. Julia: "What?" Yippeee!!!!! |

When the luggage disappeared, I thought there had been terrible continuity...and then I realized it was supposed to be Emily's imagination of what the room looked like the last time she had seen it.  And I loled at the size of the 'hidden' package in Lillian's coat. How the heck did that even fit without being folded over?  |
