![]() Good lord, why is Scanwell back to being a jerk? You're going to pray to purify the charitable food someone gives you. They're not whining over false grievances or misplaced blame. I appreciate that the Wells women have earned their screaming matches. ![]() Emily Lacey and Harriet Lennox can stuff it with their whinging about Margaret. It's not safe and I don't want anything to happen to him. Jacob needs to stop sitting outside by himself. Poor Nancy.Īnd why is Harriet still around? I've had enough of her. On the one hand, I thought they were going to burn Nancy at the stake. I'm glad at least Fanny remembered Kitty's daughter. I did not see this proletariat rebellion coming. This is much better than her hanging around with George and Haxby and Daniel. I feel like plot contrivances kept Lydia alive but I'm okay with it because Lesley Manville is acting the hell out of this part and I'm starting to get interested in Charlotte's plotting. At least Amelia convinced him to make Violet his housekeeper. Someone needs to slap the stutter out of that awful justice. ![]() Lucy looked like a high fashion historical version of Snow White in her first gown. Whatever she's got on Liv Tyler's character must be a doozy. Often Quigley comes off with all the subtlely and shading of a Disney villain, so I'm glad the actress is getting more to work with this season. The scene of Lydia Quigley relieved to finally be home and out of jail only to realize that Charles and Emily were throwing parties in her absence was a great one for Lesley Manville in both showing her dejection that no one had cared at all and the kind of unhinged rage that has Margaret and Nancy perpetually insisting that she's a murdering monster. Loved Harriet looking around her gaudy house where she apparently hasn't managed to employ or keep anyone yet and commenting that maybe she can manage to give it some class. She continues to be a hoot on every level, but she's not a fool even if she's increasingly seeing that Charles is. Charlotte understands what made Margaret and wants to avenge that, but she's not letting Margaret off the hook for all the damage she did to her and Lucy as well.ĭon't ever change, Emily Lacy. That fight with Margaret where Charlotte called her a pimp not a mother was everything. Meanwhile, Charlotte is independently trying to punish Quigley and risking permanently alienating herself from her mother and their community to do it. Years later, Margaret is still trying to take her down even if it means destroying her own family and business in the process by driving everyone away. So at some point Margaret and Nancy got her punished enough she also earned a flogging and she still blames them for it. It's interesting to watch how Quigley's "kindness" in buying 10-year-old Margaret and pimping her out echoes. The entire crowd turning their backs was a great visual of just how much contempt they had for him for ordering that and you could see that it registered with him, even if was to only double down on trying to strangle business at Quigley's house. Justice Hunt was basically shrugging off Kitty's murder as a too bad so sad what are you going to do about a dead whore thing but charge up to his house and break one of his windows and suddenly someone must be punished this instant. ![]() So that flogging was damn brutal to watch even as it illustrated a truism Margaret voiced last season that men don't respect other people, particularly women, they respect property. They're really not messing around this season, are they? Nancy has been one of my favorite characters on this show as she's every bit as bloody practical as Margaret is but tends to be much more sardonic about it rather than turning into a Lydia Quigley lite on those who have even less power than she does. ![]()
