I find Will's death shockingly violent because I can't believe Will's body ended up as bloodless as we saw. "Blap! Teeth, hair, and eyeballs all over the pavement," to quote somebody or other, is how it should have been. When somebody takes a dive off of Widows Hill, there the water to clean up the mess, but who would wield the mop below the Tower?
They really ought to have thrown a bucket of water-soluble red paint on John Karlen as he raced from the Tower set to the terrace set, but I suppose Ohrbach's might have complained. And as it was, there was an opportunity for the writers to heighten Angelique's distrust of Julia. If there had been a pool of blood under Will, Julia probably wouldn't have been as eager to stick her hand under his neck, and anyway, it wouldn't have been necessary.
I'm troubled by Angelique's behavior towards the woman whom she believes to be Hoffman. Julia Hoffman has been her friend and ally for years, and but Angelique is very quick to doubt her, and very cruel and cutting in her doubts. If Daniel turned against Angelique, how would Angelique respond?
Julia used to be good at telling lies, and now she's dreadful at it. It's the price one pays for becoming one of the good guys - but the price is a pretty steep one, I think!
