tellitslantMy plans for the evening got cancelled on me, thank goodness, which meant I had time to eat dinner and wade through most of my inbox and, oh yeah, rewatch last week's Scott & Bailey ep. :P How is there only one left? I am not okay with this!
God, Janet, this week! Watching her and Chris banter and flirt was so delightful. I wouldn't've expected them to have such good chemistry at the beginning of the season, but by now they really do. Of course, whether that gets to go anywhere since Janet's clearly going to have to deal with repercussions from the crash, and may not want a perpetual reminder of it, well. But sassy Janet!
Adored her and Rach and their mutual comfort thing, too - Rachel is still a child, still childish, in so many ways, but she has grown up so much this season as well, and she's trying so hard into the bargain. Both waiting to tell Janet about her mom and knowing that she had to tell Janet at a particular point in time or else it would get weird were decisions Rachel couldn't have made in s1 - or even, maybe, in s3.
I absolutely adored Rach and Alison sitting in Giraffe and bonding over chips, too. I love, love, love that the show didn't force them to grieve 'properly,' whatever that's even meant to mean, and yet still gave us moments of surprising poignancy like Rach seeing her mom in her mobile contacts.
And Gill and Julie...! Ughhh, I'm sad that I called it, that Julie is coming in sort of wielding the power of her position - thus far it looks like she is negotiating it without making Gill too sad, but, uh, this week's ep looks a little more stressful on those terms! Gah! and I STILL DON'T WANT GILL TO RETIRE, ahem, I mean... actually I'm glad the show lampshaded that a bit, too, with Rach asking straight out what the hell Gill would actually do in retirement! God. Clearly retiring is one of those decisions Gill made after a drink or five or something.
Also: apparently 'slap' is a reciprocal nickname, used by Gill for Julie and by Julie for Gill? i have a lot of feelings about this and I am not entirely certain I know what they are. (Things I also have a lot of feelings about: Julie eating at her desk. No, you shut up.)
I'm actually kind of too tired to be nervous about Wednesday's ep. I'm sure I'll get there, though. And then I can start being nervous about whether they'll do a s5...
