She didn't and it wasn't. Michael put something into the locket so that when Moll and L'ak scanned it, they'd see that it came from their universe and not the mirror one and would think that it was the actual clue. The real clue was the one that the pair had found in sickbay. So I guess this episode with their backstory is meant to make us feel sorry for the poor little star crossed lovers who are just trying to get the big bad Breen off their back. Feck that, I don't want half an episode in the final season devoted to the big bad of the season. I'd much rather an episode showing Owosekun and Detmer bringing the ISS Enterprise back to base. (and if that is just an excuse to have them not appear in the next few episodes, I'm going to really annoyed)

The only thing I'd add to @Notabug summary is that Mae was originally in line to be adopted by a Chinese family in the UK, but one of the prospective parents was taken ill and Mae was going to be left in the orphanage indefinitely with no guarantee that the placement would ever happen. (in real life, apparently the reason Mae was added to the Turner family was so that the actress playing Angela would have somebody her own age on set to spend time with)

I'm pretty sure that Doc Clara was intended to be high as a kite on whatever painkillers she'd been given after the surgery. Just the way she was speaking, her voice a fraction too loud for the room. She was flying!

Well done show. You had me feeling sorry for Angela when I thought she was going to die (and leave her cat behind). Well played.

I thought that Nina was a bit overly dismissive of Scola's concerns - which to me, weren't all that unreasonable. Yes, they are both in dangerous jobs, and yes, either of them could get killed on the job. But the odds of both of them dying on the same day on the job are a lot less than say them both dying in the same plane crash. Unless of course they're working together undercover. It's all about reducing the risks that their kid will be orphaned, not about getting rid of them altogether.

I'm sorry it's been cancelled, but so far season 3 has been such a disappointment, I'm not as sorry as I would have been a year ago. I just hope they haven't left it on another cliffhanger.

Question though. Was dry drowning a widely recognized medical condition back in the 60s? I got the impression from the episode that Timothy only knew about it because of a case he'd seen in the hospital during his training. As a General Practitioner and a trained Midwife, it's not exactly something that Patrick or Shelagh would necessarily have come across.

Have you never heard of a Black Russian before? 😀

Maybe they'll have Beckett recognize the signs and be the one to save her.

They went and spoke to the widow of the previous accountant who had been killed in a hit and run. She was able to tell them that pictures of the incident existed at the 'centre' so Colter knew that he had to go there.

The redhead? Do you mean Tilly? Why would that require any suspension of disbelief?

I presume Maggie has some sort of child care in place while she's working - I would guess she kept on her friends's nanny.

Mine was 30 years ago this year and I only remember the exact year because it was as a result an injury that happened a few weeks before my niece was born.

This is why you need to have a Plan, and not just leave things to chance 😜

Speaking as somebody who learned to drive on a stick shift, having a bit of a heel on your shoe is actually a big help while driving. Having a heel allows you to keep in contact with the floor while raising and lowering the pedals which gives you more control than if you have to 'hover' your feet. (IIRC, Mythbusters did a sequence on it and said that high heels weren't necessarily an impairment)

I do remember her being as irritating! In the real world, they'd all be wearing masks and full coverage suits when collecting evidence at a crime scene. These days I'd settle for them at least having their hair properly tied back.

There would have been a state pension in place at that time. Phyllis - having likely worked all her adult life - would have been eligible for it once she'd hit retirement age. But she did have a windfall a few seasons back and IIRC was going to put some of the funds away in a pension, so she would be more secure in her retirement than a lot of people in her place.

I wonder if people are overlooking this thread because they think it's an older series. I know I didn't realise it was the right thread until I clicked through. I'm enjoying it so far, but from the point of view of a non-American, a lot of it is so new to me, since my history lessons would have only covered the basics of the assassination, if that.

I don't know if it's available outside of the UK, but I have a subscription to Digiguide TV. It can be downloaded to a computer or accessed online. You tell it what channels you have and it works like an EPG on the tv, with the programmes being updated regularly as the TV stations update them. So you can see what's on and search for upcoming shows. Surely there's something similar in the USA, or maybe the number of TV stations might make it unfeasible.

I hate the idea of permanent partners. I always enjoyed the original CSI because it used to mix and match the pairings. (don't get me started on season 5 though). I wish Josh hadn't been reinstated, but at least he was trying to live up to his demotion, whereas Allie seemed ready to treat him like he was still at his previous CSI level. And the closing song was Folsom Prison Blues. Wow show, could you be any less subtle?

IIRC, Trent was Amanda’s mother’s maiden name, not her own.

To be fair to the parents (although I'm not in any way condoning it), the daughter had previously run away and been living in a commune, doing drugs, and gotten pregnant before they were able to find her and bring her home. IIRC (and it's been a long time since I read the book), they were afraid that she might run away again if they pressed charges.

Basically because nobody has taken the time to edit it. The streaming services could have their social media people update Wikipedia if they wanted to. There is an app called JustWatch which collates the information on what is showing on what streaming services. You tell it what streaming services you have, and then when you search for a movie/tv show, it'll tell you where its streaming. It also lists what's coming soon.

But I thought it was Agatha all along....

I always appreciated the way that Xena was so creative in its clip shows. Most shows when doing a clip show seemed to use either the 'main character is in a coma' or 'main character has amnesia' trope as a premise for clips shows, but Xena and Hercules at least had some original ideas.
