I did find Nicholas's appearance at Maggie's doorstep in the wee hours of the morning totally unbelievable today. I mean that literally. Bad writing in my opinion. After all, his cover is his gentlemanliness. It just didn't make any sense at all to me. I hope they have Maggie tell him off in the next episode. I know I am over-reacting but really! Anything would have been more believable, even a phone call. If this doesn't make Maggie suspicious of him I will sca-ream!
I agree, Dom, and you've probably seen by now that she bought his explanation.
Couldn't they have had Maggie wake up for some other reason, like the thunder, to find Joe gone instead of having Nick show up with his lame "I got a feeling you were in terrible danger" excuse? Isn't that what phones are for? If someone wants to make a good impression, I think the only thing worse than showing up
early for a date is to show up unexpectedly... especially in the middle of the night, sheesh. Unless, that is, a girl not only sleeps in full makeup like Maggie does but still has it looking perfect when she wakes up.
And are we supposed to believe she passed the sofa on the way to answering the door but didn't notice it was empty? Or that a knock can wake her up in another room entirely and then she can have a conversation in the same room as Joe, but none of this would wake him up? It was all too pat.
And does anyone else think that Maggie was manipulated way too easily into considering that Joe's got somebody on the side? Okay, obviously I hated everything about those scenes.
