Great episode, I enjoyed it, although I can say that 10 hours after watching it because right after my mind was still digesting everything.

When Ruth told Harry that Blake was behind the bomb, I felt his disappointment, because I really liked Blake and trusted him . Then while still digesting that, Harry is at his door with a smile plastered on his face and then I realized he poisoned the whisky (While watching I had the impression Harry did not drink and thought he took the bottle and glasses to leave no trace because the whole bottle was poisoned). Amazing scenes! Adding to my surprised of the events…old HS called Ruth a b*tch!

I knew from spoilers that Ros wouldn’t be back and I thought I was resigned to it, but watching the funeral really got to me. It hurt and made it more sad that only 4 people plus her parents(?) were there, I’m glad that at least Harry mentioned/noticed it. I really thought “the whole city should be there, the whole country!“
Am I the only one that expected Malcom to attend?
@tealady, I also thought Lucas might feel he let down Ros, that he should have make sure they both lived when he sent Beth to call Harry.

I like Ruth’s make up, I think it sets her eyes off.

Harry’s line about pornography&minesweeper, LOL!

I think I’ll like Beth with time, at least I’m glad she doesn’t feel like a replacement for Ros, that she is different.

When Vaughn called Lucas ‘John’ I remembered RA saying in an interview that when he read the script he went ‘What?!?’, maybe this is not the part he was talking about but I felt like that.
Lucas reaction to Vaughn and the way he looked at that bag, totally scares me, I’m so nervous about what is going to happen and what we’ll discover about him.
I like that he is another John, only I hope not John Smith or we(fans) will have trouble with the name’s acronyms of RA’s other characters
