Ja1979

I wonder in Dana hitting Julia in the head with a shovel, and chaining her to the basement wall somehow has anything to do with Julia's indifference to her plight? Me, I take a dim view about people that hit me with shovels. I don't understand what Dana was doing when she "captured" Julia, or why (was it to keep her close to the creature?) but it would have been much better for everybody, including (probably) dearly departed Dana, if she had tried to help Julia without using the shovel or the chain.

My local PBS station is playing the Masterclass episodes right now, a Christmas one right now and they are not in the tent and then Masterclass 1, 2, 3 and 4 are following. I didn't see a Christmas Masterclass. The one I saw was the same technicals and signatures as the regular season, with quite detailed explanTions (like, preheat at x temperature, bake at y for so and do minutes, then bake at y temperature for do and do minutes.

I doubt it. But I did wonder if she made it herself! In the British version they have a Masterclass (two or three episodes long) in which both Mary and Paul take turns to cook the (most of the) signatures and technicals themselves, in the tent, same ovens, in the same time, though they do help each other, which cuts the time a bit (the helper would handle things like measure quantities, hand ingredients and simple things like whip eggs).
