Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spells &amp; Karma" data-source="post: 203956" data-attributes="member: 23">Episodes 273-274   (...continued)The story of Bobby’s parents has been characterised by secrets that are uncovered accidentally. Information that’s stumbled upon. A conversation that’s overheard. We may have had expectations of  how the story would play out, but the writers up to this point have had a habit of hitting all the expected notes and then at the last moment diverging along an unexpected route and almost disappointing with its lack of tradition.These episodes continue along those lines. It feels wrong - very wrong indeed - that such an important event as Alf and Celia learning the truth about Bobby’s father should take place in Lance’s strange prefab - a set that up to this point has almost exclusively featured scenes that test my patience in some way. Adding insult to injury, Lance and Steven are more clued in than the Stewarts:<img src="https://i.vgy.me/3XXj9P.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.vgy.me/Bi4YaV.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />With Lance feigning illness to stop Morag from telling all (oh - it’s all so wrong. Lance and Morag don’t even occupy the same universe), Morag is left fuming and taking her anger out on those closest to her:<img src="https://i.vgy.me/YLWiow.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.vgy.me/46HjwW.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.vgy.me/3NeIk1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Bobby and Donald’s relationship isn’t the only one under threat. This is a big stakes episode, and the scales are falling from Roo’s eyes as she is seeing her Aunt in an unfavourable light and trying to reconcile her feelings for her family members. In particular, though, Roo comes down firmly on the side of her former mortal enemy. The person whom, just earlier that evening, she’d implicitly acknowledged - to Morag - as the winner in their battle over Frank:<img src="https://i.vgy.me/JfbKdZ.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />For Morag and Roo, this feels like an ending. At the end of a party to celebrate Morag’s new beginning. Just eight short episodes ago, we were there at the end of Morag’s last era. Already, this bright new start has come to an end and it’s starting to feel so final that I begin to wonder just what she’ll have left by the time this night is over.continued...</blockquote>
