2021 Season - UK Episode Discussion

I think Willows witness X exit was much more impactful this one going back to Alex is kind of meh what if she doesn't want to get back together 

I wish it was that easy to get a house that big what kind of money does Alf pay at the bait shop for Nik to afford that 

I was hoping their story about the Stone man was going to be true and there was a mad manic out there 

I like Lewis it's good to have a fruitcake back in the show 

I'm not that interested in Mac and Ari s story to be honest 

[H&Alover]

No Red, it wasn't wrong, in fact great minds think alike as I thought the same thing.  Ryder does know Bella very well and he's seen enough of her photos before to know her style, intentional or not.   It was funny how Chloe and Ryder kept up the pretence when he had twigged it was her and Nik all along.  They're even now so good they have called an end to the game playing, it would have got very tiresome otherwise.   I initially thought it could have been Bella's reflection, but the figure was too far back and couldn't have been Nik's shadow as it was him Bella was taking a photo of and was close up.  

Actually pembie,  there is a mad maniac out there, just not at the cabins.

Again, we seem to be having the same thoughts Red, getting kind of spooky,  this time re John renting out his place to Justin and Leah.  I can't really see him living with Irene & Jasmine working  out though, did they not try that before or am I thinking of something else?  He'd have to cope with two females running rings round him, him trying to be 'man of the house'. 

Mac almost did a good a job of convincing Ziggy and herself she was OK, but she still seems in pain which cannot be right, she's still clutching her right side where the etopic pregnancy happened.  Her collapse at the end and her sweating like she was warrants hospital treatment.  It would have had to happen sometime that she, Ari and/or Mia ran into each other, but I guess if it was on your own turf even tougher and awkward.  Neither Ari or Mia would have expected Mac to be there so what could they have done,  sent someone to scout out the place?  Of course Mia, like us, know what has occurred, but Ari is still in the dark and just thought Mac was finding it hard to see him and Mai together.  

Seems TPTB are at it again with their trailers  for next week. 

May just be me, but I'm dead envious of Mia's - or rather Anna Samson's - cheekbones.

There is a mad manic out there? 

Or are you talking about Lewis? 

[CaptainHulk]

If I were Christian, I'd by checking the food in my fridge in case anything "unsavoury" just been done to it by Lewis.

Probably not his style but why risk it?

That would be telling.

Alf's episode count this block:Five!

The more people knew about Mackenzie's pregnancy, the more likely it was news would get back to Ari, and turns out Mia couldn't keep quiet forever.I was not happy with the way Ari and Mia rocked up to the hospital acting as though Ari wanting to see Mackenzie was more important than her wishes, and wish Tane had held his ground instead of giving in.Ari getting involved was as likely to do harm as good.As it turns out, it seems to have been both and neither.Mackenzie gets to spend a bit of time sharing the pain with someone who'll understand...and then he goes sauntering off back to his new life and leaves her back at square one if not worse.

And...yeah, the promo gave away just about everything including the cliffhanger, leaving us marking time a bit to get to something we've already seen.I do agree that Christian getting a fine and a record was actually fair: Lewis was obviously goading him and trying to get him into trouble today (and well deserved that soaking from Alf), but I don't think Christian punching him before was quite as clear-cut.But yeah, Lewis has been teetering on the brink for a while now, as we saw with his attempt to kill Ari, and has now plunged headlong into the deep end.

Really because I have read the spoilers and there's no mention of a mad manic hiding out at Nik and Bellas cabin in the woods 

In fact the spoilers I thought were very boring lol

[CaptainHulk]

Alf didn't spray 'em hard enough!

Well now you do know who I meant.  I did say not at the cabins!

[H&Alover]

May not have been ideal but I think in the end it was good Ari found out.  He knows Mia too well so knew she was hiding something from him, her telling him was better than him storming down to the hospital and kicking up a fuss when Mac needed peace and quiet.  He got why she hadn't told him before too.  No  more secrets between any them now and that was a very tender scene between Ari and Mac, he didn't judge or blame her, and understood why she hadn't told him, just grieved with her.  Although it won't be easy for a long while It will make it a lot less tougher when any of them bump into each other as there is nothing to hide now.

Good news, kind of, that it  was just an infection. 

Rather awkward moment with Ari, Mia, Tane, Ziggy and Mac and the look on Mac's face when she say Mia and Ari leaving hand in hand said she is still in love with Ari but knows there is no chance for them. 

I don't think it would have helped Mac at all if Ari had gone to see her later, wise or brave suggestion by Mia that if he wanted/needed to Ari could.  I reckon it would have hurt too  much.  She still seems to have a down on Tane.  After all her urging Colby to try and get Bella to see a counsellor because it would be good for her, what does Mac do, chuck the leaflets Tori gave her re counselling  in the bin.  I'm guessing Dean is being kept in the loop as he obviously had 'done' his three days so couldn't  be seen.

I'm guessing Tori had her Christian's bosses head on when they were arguing.  Christian is stuck now with that record and now has to face a hospital disciplinary, which if you go by Lewis' theory he'll get away with as 'they' stick together. 

Lewis really can't help himself can he, what more does he want Christian to do to him, break  a limb so he can get him put away for GBH!?  He's seeing conspiracy theories everywhere.  How he thinks the coroner, the hospital board and the police were all in it baffles me, but course he's not thinking sanely. He couldn't just walk away from Christian, he had to goad him again, push him and drag him back when he tried to walk away. This time Christian had two witnesses who saw and heard the whole thing. Oh had a thought he's not going to have Alf charged with assault is he - oh no he's not Christian.   

Lewis keeps saying he's 'saving' patients from being killed by Christian, have there been other deaths, no-one has mentioned at NDH? 

I feel so sorry for Jasmine, just as she thinks she's found herself a good guy, she realises he's not that stable.  She really cares for him but not that blinded that she is ready to blindly follow him in his determination to bring down Christian. She's trying to help him without making it seem she is taking anyone's side.  Her gentle suggestion to seek help, as in counselling/therapy wasn't rejected giving her the impression he'd think about it.  Was he offered counselling when Anna died, he may have been/be suffering from survivor guilt, she died, he had little or no injuries.  Not that he would have to take the offer up - see Mac above, no-one could force him to.  She was also worried enough to go and see Tori and tell her her fears.

Has Lewis been watching Holby City? - they had a serial killer doctor there who hid his last potential victim in a new  unused part of the hospital. Needless to say they were rescued.  Has Jasmine been to  Lewis' place  - you don't think he either has the walls covered with pictures of Anna or maybe Christian with his face crossed out. 

Onto what started as a more light hearted story with Bella and her submitting a photo of Nik in a comp and it winning.  But  it turned out it was one she had taken of him while he was asleep so he knew nothing about it.  OK he was clothed, but it was still sent without him knowing anything about it, no wonder he was angry.  If that had been the other way round she would have been furious and Woman's Groups would have been calling for his head. Respecting someone's feelings works both ways sometimes.  Showing it to him and telling him she was sending it would have been the right thing to do, he wouldn't have minded, it wasn't embarrassing.
