A slower, quieter episode, but not without its merits. I really liked Mitch Ryan and Louis Edmonds in this one.
Roger, subdued and a bit thoughtful at the news of Guthrie's death. He may not have liked the man, but he certainly didn't want to see him dead. With a minimum of fuss, Burke and Roger were able to call a temporary truce for the benefit of a child they both cared about. When it was agreed that David needed to be taken away for a time and Laura needed to go permanently, I liked how Roger firmly stated both were his responsibility, but was unable to do both simultaneously. With no fuss, he accepted Burke's help.
I liked the little quip about lodging a complaint with Mrs. J about the lack of whip cream. It was so Roger (and very Marmorstein).
When proposing the fishing trip to David, both men had a relaxed attitude, out of necessity. We've always seen such animosity between the two, it was like getting a glimpse of their former friendship. Despite David's initial unwillingness, Roger and Burke remained calm, though you could see Burke's frustration and his quick thinking to make the trip more enticing.
I always liked Swift's directing of quiet relationship scenes, whether it involved family or romantic pairings.
