Law & Order: UK - 3.04 - Confession - Reaction Post & Picspam
Damn! In two different ways, Terry Cafolla's script almost killed me. Beware spoilers, shipping and flaily squee!
- Joggers baffle me - late night joggers doubly baffle me!
- Hang on, where's Matt? Ronnie's solo? Oh, I guess they were both off-duty and so are arriving separately...
- Oh boy Matt! Poor guy's going to find this a tough one.
- Yeah, when two cops show up at your door late at night, and they're unsmiling, you know it's bad news, and it's even more obvious when your husband's a cop.
- Heh, not much gets past Ronnie, does it?
- This is going to be hard on all of Team Law - with Matt trying to second guess his mate, and Ronnie and Natalie playing Devil's Advocate...
- Sounds like Garvey was really struggling with something if he was having nightmares.
- Matt looks shocked at the news that Garvey was seeing the priest three times a week...
- So who was lying? Garvey, in saying he was seeing the priest for counselling, or the ex-priest in denying Garvey was seeing him?
- Oh boy! You know, the timing of some of this season's episodes is uncanny. There's been a lot in the British press about paedophile priests, esp with the Pope's recent visit.
- So Garvey was watching Nugent?
- Matt does tend to see things as being far more black and white - I put that down to his youth and inexperience, as compared to Ronnie. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's true that he tends not to see shades of grey.
- Okay, I laughed at Ronnie taking the guy's coffee right out of his hands, and then thanking him for it!
- So Garvey killed himself? Matt's not going to accept that, methinks.
- Ronnie looks like he's going to lose it over those two PCs tampering with the crime scene.
- Alesha obviously feels bad for Matt - that's what I love about her - you can read her reactions so easily.
- Aye, aye, why's Ronnie collaring Alesha in the corridor?
- Ronnie: Alesha, is that it?
Alesha: Leave it with me. *grins* Alesha's going to go into terrier research mode, I can tell!
- Okay, fair warning - lots of pics and flaily squee over this next bit (and yes, the plot bunny is biting too!)
- So James arrives to work the next morning and finds Alesha asleep on the couch, after she's been at the office *all night* doing research. She's pretty excited at having established that Garvey was suffering from PTSD. I knew she was going to go into terrier research mode until she found something!
- I was so convinced James was going to kiss Alesha after he said "Good morning to you too." (I may or may not have been muttering 'Kiss her! Kiss her!' at him!) I love the way he lets her explain what she's been finding before he gently interjects his hello. :D
- OMG! Alesha's purple coat! Damn, that colour really suits her!
- I confess to being amused by George's little rants at James and Alesha, and the way they inevitably win him over. And James' "So you want us to come back at the start of the next financial year?" and George's "Don't be a smart arse." made me smirk.
- Alesha really does believe in Justice with the capital J!
- Okay, so Alesha's not in court for the Plea and Case Management hearing, but she is in the building, in her court clothes... Please excuse me while I melt a little again.
- Eee! I love it when James and Ridley cross swords.
- James: Well, I am a man of many talents, Robert. *thud*
- Alesha: Another satisfied member of the James Steel Fan Club. [There's a fan club? Baggsie I be Lifetime President!]
- I confess I laughed at Alesha having three missed calls from George, while James had eight! Whatever has he done now?
- George: His exact words were 'bullyboy tactics, veiled threats, and libellous accusations.'
James: That doesn't sound like me. [Alesha's smirking unseen in the background.]
George: Really? Sounds about par for the course to me. LOL
- Judge: Is this a fishing expedition Mr Ridley? *snorts*
- Blimey, I thought Matt was going to smack Nugent then!
- Ha! Ridley's getting sarcasm back from the witness. Nice one!!
- Alesha: Okay, book an ambulance now, James, because George is SO going to have an aneurysm. LOL
- George: And if they don't fold?
James - looking as if the idea's never occurred to him.
George: Remind me never to play you at poker. LOL (George gets some great lines in this!)
- Ooh! James is wearing burgundy red leather shoes...
- Ridley: This place [CPS] gives me a migraine.
James: That'll be your conscience gnawing at you, Robert. *snorts*
- Aw, Alesha's sitting outside the court with Matt, giving him moral support. If anyone knows how gut-churningly nerve-wracking it is to give evidence in a sex-related case, Alesha does.
- Aw, she squeezed his hand. Trust him to make a joke about it, and what's he mean "damaged goods"? He's not damaged goods, silly boy.
- Ha! They found Nugent guilty. Quite right too!
