melwilAnother episode for the early evening. Reviewed while cooking dinner, typing up school work, making icons and playing solitaire. Hey, I'm a multi tasker.

Tom talking about Zoe and Danny like they're his kids gives you an interesting insight into how he sees them - Zoe as great, but too clever for her own good at times, and Danny as difficult and always getting into trouble.
Don't do it Sam! Don't do it! This part makes me wonder to what extent Sam just 'fell for it' and to what extent Tessa was an excellent manipulator.
Is it a job or is it their life? Ah, the eternal question.
I like that Danny uncovers the difference in the cases - after all, he's supposed to be the surveillance guru.
Hmmm. Zoe doesn't want to talk to Sam about Tom. I wonder if she's suspicious already, or just thinks of Sam as a bit of an outsider still.
The setting up the legend scene between Tom and Zoe us absolutely gorgeous. I love the parallels with 'real life' and the ending when they agreed that they'd always look after each other. It makes future events even more poignant.
The CDs on the ground scene probably wouldn't work today in our MP3 player age *g*
I think that shade of green overall looks particularly nice on Danny . . .
Tom snapped at Ruth. Nasty, nasty man.
TESSA! She's so totally obsessed with Zoe. There's got to be fic in that *g* Tessa seems to know absolutely everything there is to know about Zoe.
(There's some sort of snake metaphor going through this episode.
"Your boss, Jane" . . . oops.
It's hard to write anything more about this episode - it's very good, but it's also fairly straightforward. Our characters basically stay on course, other than Sam who takes a big plunge downwards - but there's really much more of a focus on Mariella.
Oh, but Tom at the end taking that final step into breakdown. And his desperate urge to clear his name (his real name) with Mariella.
