She flicked an irritated glance at him. “Nose,” she said. “Grindstone.”

*bounces*

Eeee! Oh Lynda, not-so-secretly jealous, and hurrah for Kenny standing up to her. The swear jar!!! For 'get lost' lololol. You are sending me right back to my childhood here.

Kenny and Jenny? Really? Was that you or is she another character lost to the mists of time?

Thank you! :-D

I think the swear jar was for what Lynda didn't say (I've noticed it tends to get used like that in my S1 rewatch. She says something harmless, but... :lol: It was childrne's TV!)

And, yes, Jenny Eliot was real - I uploaded this icon specifically to answer this. (Now that I am a paid-up person with the ability to do so, heh.) (This follows S1 ep How To Make A Killing.)

It was stupid, he thought, because he’d gone his own way for the first time, solved the mystery, beat the bad guy, won the girl - the incredible, gorgeous girl who shouldn’t even have looked twice at him - and given them their best-selling and most important edition yet in the process.
This sentence is a really lovely way of summarizing these two episodes.

I loved the use of the episodes' recurring joke about Mrs. Eliot sounding just like her daughter and the fatal accident excuse that is reminiscent of Kenny's aunt's funeral (all, what is it, eight times?)... Plus, the interactions between Kenny and Lynda are quite perfect. ♥
