Both Quentin and David have been visited by Daphne, who has brought them lilacs and a model boat. Odd gifts, I suppose, but certainly nothing terrifying or more than slightly interesting
Maggie is the voice of reason in this episode. She's very patient with Carolyn, understanding but not encouraging Carolyn's feelings about Sebastian Shaw. Her line to Quentin about how futile it is to love someone who is dead could well describe most of the characters on the show. How exactly does Quentin describe his relationship with to the 1840 Quentin. Uncle? Or great uncle? Great uncle is quite a stretch. 130 years? Uncle? Not likely. I would expected Maggie to question that or at least remark on it.
The picnic is a pretty lackluster affair. Carolyn is sullen. Quentin and David are preoccupied. I hope that the food was good. There's an unexpected guest at the picnic when Gerard seems to lurk in the back of David's photographs. Too bad it wasn't ants.
The second clue has come and gone, with little dramatic impact. Sebastian's name seems to indicate that the third clue is imminent. Hope it's a bit more lively
