I didn't expect Julia to get pregnant so soon and with less than half a season left. I'm doubtful if she'll have the baby this season because that would mean skipping about a month or more each episode. But maybe they do go that route and she has the baby in the finale. Let's hope W/J don't have a miscarriage, after losing Roland that would be cruel.

Another good and enjoyable episode. I laughed through most of it and I am loving having barely any recurring characters around. These past two episodes have highlighted how original characters are more than capable of still carrying episodes by themselves. Higgins is doing a good job and I've not really even noticed George's absence. It's nice to see Higgins take center stage because Lachlan's talent can be undervalued.

I'm not surprised they found a way to bring back Cyrus Lane. He is always amusing and Rupert seems cut from the same cloth as Roger.

I, too, laughed all the way through this episode. It was nice seeing Higgins and his lady love take center stage. The sports episodes are always my favourites. I don't know anything about cricket but it was fun watching. I never suspected Higgins' manservant. I liked how Murdoch figured it out. Great job, William!

Did I laugh my way though this episode? Yes yes I did. Am I estatic about Julia's news? Yes yes I am! The noise I made when she told William was. not. human.
I am so happy for these two! aaaaaahhhh I've totes got to update the timeline! Let's hope now she doesn't have a miscarriage which my mother managed to pop my bubble with. -__- not cool!

Anyway I think this one is up in my favourite for the season it was funny, JILLIAM (need I say more???) and everyone was on top form!

I saw that we're back at one of MM's favourite filming locations! I do love it when they revisit places -

As much as I love Crabtree - it was great to see Higgins step up and allow himself to shine in his own special way. I particualry loved the lovey dovey nicknames he had for Ruth "fairy face" and my "flightless dove"! those just omg.

Was that the Bromobile or does Higgins have his own car now courtesy of Ruth?

I am hoping for season. I hope w/j's baby will not be the end of MM as a finale. There are a few storylines they could explore.....miscarriage, cot death, or post natal depression. Shantell bisson put on her tiwtter page when she congratulated yannick on his recent award...."when you let it go, really let it go things happen...what does that mean??

Shantelle has written a paper on her blog last year about the lack of recognition Yannick had from the Academy. I think that is what she meant. And she congratulated him for his nomination. He's not won ... yet.

I loved this episode, mostly because of Ruth. The character is a riot and the actress is great. Henry is a riot during all of this.

Loved this episode. William and Julia so loving towards each other Fantastic news about theirbaby. Hope all goes well. William was so sweet the way he looked after Julia with the morning sickness and the flowers and lavendar.Good stroyline too. Go Henry. He certainly enjoying his romance with Ruth. Nice twist bringing Roger Nesomes's "brother"into it. The writers exelled themsleves. This has been one of the best episodes so far. Great for thos of us who love the Jilliam moments. Good to see the drought is over. William menationed buying a bigger house. What happened to the one he was going to build.?
