This episode took a turn!

I guess it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. It has been a bit tricky to follow all the machinations on this show, but after watching for a while and deciding to just go with whatever craziness ensues, we're in for the rest of the season. Everyone with secrets and lies and expressing their innermost desires (along with multiple accents) made this a modern, ribald comedy. 

This episode introduced a threatening aspect in the person of the not-really-wanted guests who challenge the tentatively established social order in the villa. 

Spoiler

I thought that the visiting minstrel was in trouble because I think he was trying to signal for help early on, but was shocked when he was killed, even though that was an accident.
