I adored those last few scenes with Martha and Michael. The words ''consolation prize'' and ''second best'' were exactly the right words to use, I felt. Martha knew that she loved Jack more, and so did Michael.
Some have said that 'Jonah' returning didn't add anything to the story, but I disagree. In a way, Michael kind of acted like Martha's head. Before Michael arrived, Martha was on her own and very confused. I mean, let's face it, Martha and Jack both know that they love each other. But until Michael's arrival...I don't think Martha was truly able to see the extent of her feelings. Martha wanting to get away from Summer Bay, IMO, clearly showed that she was scared that Michael would leave her because he knew of how she really felt.
At first...I wasn't happy about Jonah/Michael returning, but having him involved with the M/J/S stuff has really added to the confusion. I am not a fan of the storyline, but Michael's return made it a tad more bearable. In my opinion, him leaving at this stage was the right thing to do. If Michael and Martha had of stayed together, it would have most likely ended in Jack and Martha getting back together and Sam and Michael leaving.
Does anyone else have any views on Michael's return? Was it a good idea to bring him back?...Or was it a waste of time? ...
