I hope we see more Todd, Frodo, and Maddie. I was happy to see Hughes. I wondered where he had gone.

And they are all "aspirational."

Yup! It took me a beat to place him. I liked how the detectives recapped where we saw those characters.

I loved Mike's expressions during this exchange. 😂 I saw it more as the mother-hating daughter trope. She was in the Ghost Train episode (I am currently doing a rewatch).

The opening scared the crap out of me!

He was in that episode, but he wasn't the boyfriend. He was the one swooping in on a bald eagle (in the musical). I watched it yesterday. I thought so, too, but according to IMDB, he wasn't.

According to IMDB, he's been in five episodes. The first one was cinema episode.

She can’t. 😳 Tori Spelling Admits She Hasn't 'Pooped or Peed Alone in 18 Years' — and Son Beau, 7, 'Stands There' with Her

I thought they were going the Mistress of Mellyn (by Victoria Holt) route.

Season 24, episode 1 is not an episode that I'll be able to rewatch unless I fast-forward through the most horrific murder I've seen in Midsomer. Other than that, it was a very good episode. I wasn't surprised by the murderer but didn't figure out the reason why.

I think it's both. He didn't want to do the work raising them, so when the kids were old enough and after the mothers did all the work, he bought them off.

Oh, I think Frederick's death while not overly violent, was not quick and was beyond torturous. He had to lay there seeing the pendulum swing back and forth and lower for who knows how long. I felt his death was satisfying. He was aware and could do nothing.

He knew. He admitted to Dupin that he remembered the deal.

Especially since he admitted that he knew about the deal. Man, good on Madeline for strangling the life out of him. All the horror he deserved was in his face. Bruce Greenwood was so good in this. Before I finished the entire episode, I thought he had more humanity than Madeline. I think she had more humanity, miniscule that it was.

I was spoiled, so I knew everything that would happen, but still, Lenore's death made me cry. Roderick may have been more evil than Madeline. He doomed this children without a second thought. Even Madeline was shocked.
