[QUOTE="Julia's Gun, post: 256974, member: 987"] At the time I remember thinking this cliffhanger was a bit of an anti-climax. Given the previous year's shock of Jill appearing to murder Val, or Abby burying bodies under cement before that, this one seemed a bit lame. But as you say, it was an intriguing and complex storyline with a slow-build to the Greg/Ted showdown. The crime/film noir thing with Murikame was all stylishly done, and links back to that earlier 'Double Indemnity' episode that was directed by William Devane himself. I think I was just sad that Abby had gone, but I respect how the writer's were confidently saying, look keep watching, there's still plenty going on here. Perhaps the icing on the cake would have been a scene added with Gary turning up at Val's house to propose to her. I'd have preferred their reunion to have happened then, rather than being dragged out for another couple of years.... [/QUOTE]
