Angelique won't give Aristede's scarf back, then chokes him into unconsciousness (again, something I don't think is possible outside of DS), then gives the scarf back to his unconscious body. Uh, okay. Welcome back, Beth and Edward.
Welcome, Victor Fenn-Gibbon! 1897 is in overdrive now. Was Thayer gone because of a throat problem? Angelique and V F-G both talk their way into Collinwood in the space of a few minutes. Victor gloats about this later at the Blue Whale. I wonder if Edward is someone who thinks he's the most skeptical person on Earth, but who in fact can actually be BS'd into anything...
I love VFG and Ang meeting for the first time, with Ang holding the Box! It's right there! VFG maintains his cool, but the second the attention is off him and the camera can zoom in for a quick close-up, man, does Thayer manage an intense glare! Edward never says, "What a pretty box! May I see inside?" This scene could have gone SO differently... We get our first Lord Kitchener reference. I love those. We get an explanation for the voice, but it makes the rasp out to be a permanent thing.
11 PM. (I like when you include the time in your accounts, DL.) Angelique proposes in a weird-ass way to Melty Quentie. [spoiler]No explanation for this arrangement, apart from the fact that it's a soap opera, and it sets up the eventual chain of events for Q's death.[/spoiler]
Hand makes Q transform. Ang has no control. That's a very easy Hand to piss off, apparently. VFG observes from outside, something it takes a genius to think of, on DS anyway. Private detectives stationed outside the windows of the two drawing rooms could see it all...
Thanks for the link, DL! Image-Googling got me no place... You know a cheroot by sight. I am impressed.
