I’d forgotten about ‘that’ necklace
Jolene’s mention of the necklace Sid had given her all those years ago brought be right back to the time their affair started.
Very strange to think of them back then, compared to the cosy life they built together.
I’ve said it before, but despite what I thought of him, it’s so obvious that many other’s though Sid was top notch.
Including poor heartbroken Jolene.
Kathy admits her mistake
As much as I’ve been very hard on Kenton over the last few weeks, it was petty of Kathy to not even tell him about Sid’s ashes being scattered – and downright spiteful not letting him be there.
Jamie asked if Kenton was coming, and it ended up having to be Tony who went after him when he couldn’t handle being at the scattering.
Bless Tony for trying, though, as he admitted, that whole emotional stuff just isn’t his forte.
As he said:
“Feelings are funny things”
and Kathy has lost someone very important to her.
But Tony telling Jamie to be “strong” for her was a bit too close to something like ‘There, there old chap. Stiff upper lip. Boys don’t cry. You’re the man of the house now …’
At the very least, he did manage to get Jamie to open up a bit about how Kathy’s reaction to Sid’s death has affected him.
And, Tony’s intervention also gave Kathy a bit of a kick up the posterior.
Her mistake (in trying to get “revenge” on Kenton for not going to new Zealand with them) has only resulted in Jamie getting hurt even further.
Question is – will Kathy admit that to Kenton?
Will Kenton, likewise, admit his mistakes to Kathy?
Could this be a turning point in them all being able to pull their family back together?
Or had the damage already been done.
(and I still think Kenton holds most of the blame …)
LOVING the Agatha Christie mentions
But that’s only because I am a huge Christe fan.
It’s also superb to have Lynda back in full flow.
“a lesser person that I might have felt snubbed”
And nice to have Joe there to keep her in check. While Lynda is trying to write in the style of “proper” detectives, Joe prefers a bit of The Sweeney. With Poirot, he finds them so slow, that he nods off half way through.
“The strange affair at Ambridge Towers”
Oh I just can’t wait!
Though, I am still wondering if this ‘pretend’ murder mystery will result in actual murder, a la Christe.
