Episode 7 Discussion [rewatch]

[Silktie]

This isn't one of my favourites either. Apart from the issues mentioned by lwhite, I find that Fiona's death doesn't affect me as much emotionally as it should, and I'm not sure why that is. I liked her as a character, and yet her death scene just doesn't engage me. Maybe it's because the whole thing is so pointless, and could have been avoided with a little more clear thinking from Fiona's side.

Ruth was brilliant, as usual, and you could really begin to see the close bond of friendship she is forming with Adam in this episode. That relationship is one of my favourites over all the series.

I felt sorry for Jo - she was in a no-win situation here with Fiona using her uncertainty as a newby to play her a little bit. I give her points for telling Zaf so quickly what was happening.
