                                            Image result for mr selfridge season 4 episode 5
Double Trouble the Dolly sisters film is filmed at the store with the sisters playing a double act of being thieves, no typecasting there then, with acclaimed actor Bumby Wallace (Sam Attwater) never heard of him.  Meryl (Lottie Tolhurst) also has a part in the movie.  They both ask Harry (Jeremy Piven) for new shoes.  As Harry yells "cut."  He always wanted to say that.  Grove (Tom Goodman-Hill) takes photos of Meryl with Bumby and Harry tells her she's a part of the family. D'Ancona (Vincent Riotta) comes in to collect his debt but Harry doesn't have it and he doesn't want an instalment, telling Harry owning one of the biggest stores in the world means nothing.  The Dolly's make trouble and they're costing money.  The film producer, Stone (Robert Morgan) needs Harry to be around to keep an eye on them.  Rosie (Emma Hamilton) later tells him that Jenny's (Zoe Richards) the one making all the trouble and she'll keep her in check, but Harry tells her it's Rosie they're complaining about.  He also receives £10,000 bill raked by the sisters in gambling debts.  Only it's too late for Harry to realize they're bleeding him high and dry.  Rosie tells him he said they could have credit.

Harry wants a front page retraction from Wynnstay (Robert Pugh) for the article on Rosalie (Kara Tointon) and all his family stories are to be kept off limits otherwise he'll withdraw advertizing and he's the biggest advertizer he's got.  Wynnstay wants to deal with Harry and not Frank (Samuel West).  Wynnstay's also invited to the party being thrown by Harry for the film opening at the store. He calls Flick (Joanna Bobin) and wants her to come to the party with him, obviously to dig more dirt.  Harry knows Frank made a mistake but he doesn't have a wife to make it up to and needs to put things right with Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes).  As she ponders whether to accept the Elizabeth Arden offer.  She needs to reply by the end of the next day.  She asks Frank why he wants children as they didn't think about it before and it's different for him cos he's a man, she'd have to give up her job. She later asks George (Calum Callaghan) what she should do and why he wanted children, cos he's a man. He always did and got on well with them but if she still loves Frank then she needs to talk to him about it.  Also seeing how Connie (Sacha Parkinson) is now showing.  She tells Kitty she always wanted to be a mother.

Meryl was angry about Miss Mardle (Amanda Abbington) coming to see her father and they have tea. She's still at the hotel and Grove wonders why she didn't stay with Crab (Roger Cook) since he invited her to come.  They go for a walk in the park and he cries when he recalls how he wanted to retire and enjoy the years with his children and how he's so afraid.  They were apart seven years and went their own way.  He can't ask her to be here for him or the children.  When they return home, he's too tired and Meryl asks her to tea.  She asks if she's going back and Miss Mardle says she'll stay for a while, as long as he wants her to.  Meryl tells her she can't leave even if he asks her to.  Meryl's invited Miss Mardle to dinner and he shows them the photos he took.  They should start a family album.  He and Miss Mardle take a turn in the garden and he proposes to her; but doesn't want her to accept out of pity, or take on the children too.  She accepts and would love to take the children too. He even has a ring ready for her.

The London Civic society has been buying more shares in Selfridges and he asks Crab about the chairman's account being in the red, as Harry's combining his personal and professional costs.  Crab says he's a dog on a long rope and he knows exactly what the society's doing.  He's always been loyal to Harry.   Harry pays a visit to Wynnstay ensuring him if he doesn't stay away from his family he will withdraw the advertizing.  Adding money still talks.  Harry also finds that Rosie's cheating on him with Bumby and tells Mae (Kathleen Kelly) they were just using his money all this time.  Took him long enough.

At the party, they also make a spectacle of themselves doing a risque dance before Harry tells George to throw them out.  Victor (Trystan Gravelle) asks Mae to sing as Jimmy (Sacha Dhawan) arrives and he gets jealous of them.  D'Ancona sends his goons to smash the Selfridge windows.  Leading more costs for Harry to deal with.  It's too late for Harry now to salvage anything.  The only one with any sort of a decent storyline is Miss Mardle and returning when Grove needs her the most and more importantly staying with his family too.  As Grove asks how they just let it all slip away.

All relationships falling apart except George and Connie but Kitty finds out Frank did the dirty on her with Flick, as Flick lets slip on purpose that she didn't know Kitty would be so beautiful.  Well he should've been honest with Kitty or at least he shouldn't have let her anywhere near Flick.  Of course that's why Wynnstay invited her to the party, to make trouble and show Harry who's really boss.

Mae and Victor's singing, or rather miming was funny!  It was so obvious.

Ghost Adventures 12.1 "The Black Dahlia"

                                               Image result for ghost adventures black dahlia house
Watching 12.1 The Black Dahlia murder ep of Ghost Adventures and the murder of Elizabeth Short, whom the newspapers dubbed, 'The Black Dahlia.'  There were some similarities I noticed between James Ellroy who wrote his book, The Black Dahlia in September 1987 but which was an entirely fictionalized account of the murder and not based on the actual facts, though the real murder did inspire him to write it.  George Hodel didn't die until 1991.  In his book Ellroy used the phrase, bad "penny and "bright penny" a lot and during the seance, psychic medium, Patti, says that Zak is being taunted by George and doesn't like him.  Had the impression he was taunting and sending out such messages.  George could've read the book and made such a reference.  Which maybe does sound far fetched, but what better way to throw red herrings and manipulate.

However Ellroy was fascinated with the murder of his own mother, Geneva, who was murdered in 1958 when he was ten.  The book he wrote about her was called, My Dark Places: An LA Crime Memoir.  Her killer was never found and she was strangled, her body was found in El Monte, California.  She was also known as 'Jean.'  He was fascinated by the killing of the 'Black Dahlia' and drew some similarities between the bodies both being dumped by roadsides.  Although the murder of his mother didn't draw any massive media attention.  Not saying there's anything to this but it does make for a fascinating connection.  As Jean came up during the seance.
Of course, Penny and Jean could be actual murder victims of George.  Who knows?

The EVP burst session, with Zak and Aaron on the floor, the male voice says, "someone talk to it."

The spirit box session:
male voice; the first word sounds like "George," after Aaron asks what's your name.
female voice: "don't be so..." sounds like she's saying "polite??"...then says, "and come in." Sounds like she has an accent.
There seems to be some 'pleasurable' moaning too, like an 'hmm."  Sorry I'm not sure how else to put it, in the part where Aaron asks if it just said, 'ghost.'

I said the same thing as Zak about the anomaly on the SLS camera, not that he was conducting a procedure, but rather  he was dissecting a body.

On the plus side great seeing Devin Lawrence make a surprise appearance!

The Vampire Diaries 7.10 "Hell is Other People" Review

                                         Image result for the-vampire-diaries hell-is-other-people photos
Fall 1863
Confederate Front Line

Damon (Ian Somerhalder) wakes during the battle as a soldier calls out to him for help, he rescues Henry (Evan Gamble) from under the wagon and then he wakes up again back at the camp.  With Henry asking him how he's doing and calling him a hero.  Mail call and he receives a letter from Stefan (Paul Wesley) telling him of their father's drinking and of Valerie leaving him.  Damon needs to get home for Stefan and he asks for two weeks leave and he'll do anything.  Which means getting back two deserters hiding out at a farmhouse.  Henry accompanies him as he wants to see his girl, Olive and asks if Damon has a sweetheart.  At the farmhouse events go awry and Damon has to shoot the three women and the deserters too.  He then sees Lily (Annie Wersching) in the basement who tells him this isn't about remorse, it's about punishment.

He then wakes up back at Mystic Falls and Bonnie (Kat Graham) brought him back with a spell.  It took her three months as she had to go solo as it took three Heretics bought back Julian (Todd Lasance).  Stefan is in his room and she brought Damon back first.  When they get there they find a note mentioning a barbecue.  Matt (Zach Roerig) doesn't know where Stefan is and tells them he'll check the surveillance footage, but Damon wants her to do a locator spell.  She's too weak and her nose bleeds but he still wants it done.  Caroline (Candace King) tells him they bought him back first cos the longer he's in the stone, the more he loses his humanity.  There were lots of clues though as to why Damon wasn't really back, like asking if she wants a drink when she's pregnant.  He wouldn't ask her that cos he wouldn't want to hurt Alaric's babies.

Bonnie locates Julian on I29 and he wants Damon to join him for food as he questions him about what happened in the stone.  He's poured gas over Stefan so he can light him up.  Julian telling him of how he was affected by Lily and he had to kill her over and over for centuries.  He then sets Stefan on fire. As Lily appears and Damon finds himself back at the battlefield.  What follows are plenty of versions of Damon's hellish groundhog day and in each one the people at the farmhouse always die. He must stop this and each time he tries to stop a scenario, it doesn't make any difference.  Finally he gives up and says he's heading straight home and deserting too, leaving a grenade behind and killing Henry most likely.  However the compass leads him back at the farmhouse, no matter which way he travels the woods.

Lily opens the door and tells him she's been waiting for him and he should hide in the basement since they're looking for him.  Here he sees Stefan and he tells him this is about Damon not accepting his emotions and how he doesn't feel anything for innocent people dying.  He unveils Elena's coffin and asks what Elena would think of him doing all of this.  He's not doing this in Elena's name but he's bad when she's not around.  That he shouldn't need to ask what Elena would want him to do, but should already know.  Upstairs Lily is shot and Damon still doesn't feel sorry for her.

He wakes up at the battle again and this time Lily's stuck under the wagon and begs for help.  He tells her he lost her three times, once to consumption, once to his other family and when she died again. He hates her cos she left him for her other family.  He wanted to tell her how he really feels but she was too weak to leave their father.  He just wanted a chance to tell her everything he wanted and that he loves her.  She dies and he wakes up, saying he needs to go back.  That this isn't real.  Damon loses it in wanting to go back to her and stakes Stefan and Caroline, killing Matt and Bonnie too.  But he doesn't go back.

I enjoyed this episode and it probably was the best one so far of this season, maybe the Heretics not being in there made it more so, but probably cos it was Damon-centric and focused on his shortcomings still and his humanity.  He was right to have such feelings for Lily and he was right, she did leave them and didn't come back when she could, that she was weak in not leaving their father and he shouldn't feel guilt in having these emotions.  But deep down he is sad for losing her and he won't admit it cos well, he's just Damon.  It'll show his weakness when he says all he ever wanted was his mother.  She should've been more of a mother and not find herself a new family, even if she was trapped in that other time and place.  Though they had to mention Elena again.

I have to say Damon is his own person and shouldn't and doesn't need Elena to make him whole or better, he has a mind of his own, which shouldn't revolve around needing other people, or for Elena to be his conscience.  The title being correct of course, hell is other people and what they put him through.  Let's have some more Damon eps!  Oh but that wig Damon!! ha.  Kind of strange that Damon fought for the Confederates back then, I know they were in the South and everything but he didn't have to, cos they're not into that belief system of slavery etc.  Though he did say he only joined to make their father proud, but still.  He could've got revenge on his father by joining the Union instead.

Mr Selfridge Series 4 Episode 4 Review


Biarritz, France

Harry (Jeremy Piven) chooses the lavish resort to hold his press conference regarding the acquisition of another five provincial stores and merging with Selfridges.  The press wants to know why he chose France to announce it and maybe he's trying to curry favour and the female reporter, Felicity 'Flic' Jenner (Joanna Bobin) asks why Gordon (Greg Austin) isn't here.  Harry fobs her off saying first things first and to the answer of them being here he responds, "why not."  They're both very inquisitive and as she gives her story over the phone, Frank (Samuel West) informs them Harry's got a tab and they're also having drinks too.  Clearly she's a gossip columnist and knows about the exploits of Serge de Bolatoff.  But she tells him Lord Wynnstay's (Robert Pugh) been ordering her not to blab, of course as with all things press related, truth or gossip even, will out.

Harry however continues to spend on the Dolly sisters, raking up a huge tab and also more lavish expenses.  They've got a movie audition the next day and he also gives them both a necklace, pearls and diamonds for Rosie (Emma Hamilton).  Jenny (Zoe Richards) does a dance on the poker table showing off her undies and Rosie is clearly jealous as she pulls her pearls from her neck.  Harry tells them he'll get them both matching necklaces.  Mae (Katherine Kelly) is there to support Harry and also with Jimmy (Sacha Dhawan) who gets racist jibes from the 'playboys' there and makes trouble for him.  Jimmy can't take it anymore as they tell him to clean his shoes, get them a drink and also how this must be an "exotic holiday" for Mae.  He loses it and punches one, Frank also gets elbowed whilst trying to stop it.  Frank later gets drunk and Flic tells him to come into her room.

Mae is angry with Jimmy cos of his temper and that's all, she doesn't think he's just an exotic holiday and they're just stupid playboys.  Mae sees Harry and he says they forgot to eat and so they have breakfast at a quaint place Harry has found by the sea.  She tells him Gordon is conspicuously absent and everyone's noticed and Harry tells her he was invited.  She's worried about his throwing money around and she manages to put his nose out of joint. She apologizes but tells him that everyone's just taking his money and he's throwing it around.  They have friendships and people leave but at the end of the day family is all he has.  He should make up with Gordon, he's his son.  He's glad Mae is here. Flic gets into a tizzy about Frank who tells her he was just drunk and nothing more.  Obviously this'll lead to her publishing the story about Rosalie (Kara Tointon) and her marriage.

They leave for London and Rosalie ash organized a charity event at the store for the orphans where AA Milne (Daniel Betts) will read from his Winnie the Pooh book.  Gordon says Harry promised he'd be here and Lord Wynnstay is found out by AA Milne as being a softie.  Grove (Tom Goodman-Hill) returns to work much to the shock of Crab (Ron Cook) who tells him he should be at home, he convinces him he's okay and would rather muck in, leaving Crab no choice but to call Miss Mardle (Amanda Abbington) of course, as said.  She returns and is sad to see him but he doesn't want her pity.  He hasn't told the children and doesn't want a second opinion.  He doesn't even want her here, cos their time has passed.

Miss Mardle sees Meryl (Lottie Tolhurst) at the fashion department as she's been told to report there by Connie (Sacha Parkinson) after Tilly (Mimi Ndiweni) tells Meryl how to act in front of her.  She's surprised her father let her work here.  Miss Mardle says she's here on business and then she has tea with Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes).  Who tells her how the new shop girls always talk of her, she's a bit of a legend.  She tells her about New York and people just go for what they want, no regrets and they call it "moxy."  Kitty would fit right in.  Kitty saying Miss Mardle's the one with "moxy."  Later Miss Mardle pays a call on Grove and he doesn't want her here cos she left.  He doesn't want to see her watch him whither, shrivel and die.  Meryl overhears this and tells him he's lying, losing it.

The reading is a success and Harry makes it after the audition with Rosie is almost called off as Jenny doesn't show up. Harry tells the producer that Rosie and Jenny do the same thing and makes her perform in front of a mirror.  He tries to be civil with Gordon but they don't get anywhere and Grace (Amy Morgan) invites him to dinner at the Criterion, but Harry chooses to go home.  D'Ancona (Vincent Riotta) approaches Victor (Trystan Gravelle) and tells him about Harry and his debt.  Harry tells him he's got a banker's draft and calls D'Ancona to meet him at the club.  Where the producer tells him that the movie won't go ahead cos the investor's pulled out and Harry changes his mind and writes him the cheque instead, since Rosie deserves it.  D'Ancona arrives and finds Harry isn't there.

Lord Wynnstay shows Rosalie the newspaper story and tells her he didn't sanction it, with the headlines reading, 'the De Bolatoff marriage is in crisis'.  Harry is angry and rips up the newspaper, wanting Frank to cancel all the ads, as well as telling Frank he's probably  to blame cos of that newspaper woman, Flic and his being drunk, he asks if Frank slept with her too.  Surprised Kitty didn't hear that.  Especially also as Frank has a change of heart and says home and the heart is important and they should have children.

Kitty thinking giving him a copy of the New Yorker magazine would make him change his mind. Looks like Kitty will be making the move on her own, but Miss Mardle saying work isn't really important and she should've done things differently really didn't mean much of anything to Kitty.
It's only a matter of time before everything starts to unravel permanently for Harry but seems the same's happening to everyone else around him as well.  His empire on the brink of toppling kind of foreshadows everyone else's misfortune too in their personal lives.  Well Connie and George (Calum Callaghan) are doing okay, as are Grace and Gordon.  The grandeur won't last long.  Glad to see Mary Marston, er, Miss Mardle back again, she was an integral part of the show over the years!

The Vampire Diaries 7.1 "Day One of Twenty Two Thousand, Give or Take" Review

                                          Image result for the-vampire-diaries day-one-of-twenty-two-thousand-give-or-take photos
Three Years From Now
Brooklyn, New York
Stefan arrives to get Damon out of  his coffin.

Today 
Caroline (Candace King) writes her diary as Elena asked her to so when she returns she won't have missed anything.  Er, not that she'd have much to miss with these Heretics around.  The most incessantly tedious characters this show has ever had.  Not to mention those Brit accents! Feel like screaming.  Lily (Annie Versching) and her brood have taken over the town and it seems Caroline and Bonnie )Kat Graham) aren't the only ones keeping diaries but Valerie (Elizabeth Blackmore) is too.  She doesn't want to be in Mystic Falls and she gets run over by a drugged up teen.  She gets up after they leave her there for dead and drive off.  So naturally she has to rant to the gruesome twosome of  Nora (Scarlett Byrne) and Mary Louise (Teressa Liane).

Matt's (Zach Roerig) about to graduate from the police academy and Caroline's mother has been given a park bench in her honour.  Stefan's (Paul Wesley) still around and he decides to apologize to Caroline for making things awkward and for what he said about his feelings for her, so they decide to be friends until they figure this out.  Alaric (Matt Davis) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are in Europe to help Alaric get over Jo, and Bonnie's there to keep an eye on them, though Caroline isn't sure who will keep an eye on Bonnie.

Amsterdam

Bonnie goes sight seeing cos she can't sit around and watch them both get drunk, as Damon still laments being without Elena and Alaric pretends to be drunk, as Bonnie tells Damon he's been drinking tea and not bourbon.  Alaric goes off in search of a stone and lo and behold it's the same stone Lily's looking for as she travels to New York to find Enzo (Michael Malarkey).  He tells her he may be the boy she saved and showed kindness to but he's not her errand boy, well that didn't last long as he returns to Mystic Falls and Caroline tells him to pick a side.  You see the Heretics go on the rampage after Stefan fails in his attempt to blow them up.  Yeah a bomb would really work on the undead who've been that way for centuries, really how amateurish was that plan and as I say, the best laid plans in Mystic Falls always go awry.   Back in Amsterdam Damon saves Bonnie from a van but she tells him it's three seconds in which he hesitated.  He seriously wasn't going to save her or so she thinks.  The sooner she dies, the sooner he'll get Elena back.  

Caroline helps Matt plant the bomb and though they think they've succeeded it's not the case at all. Lily telling him Stefan same thing.  So the threesome decide to exact revenge and kill everyone at Matt's graduation ceremony, his entire class, except for Matt.  Who becomes sheriff of Mystic Falls seeing as there's no one else left.  Stefan and Lily reach a truce whereby they will live with each other and the town will be evacuated on the basis of there being mining fires underneath the town.  Anyone who enters the town is fair game.  

Bonnie returns with the others and Matt tells her about losing his class all cos she betrayed Kye and got her revenge on him.  Again Bonnie saying this is her fault and everyone blames her, well if the shoe fits!  Damon heads to Whitmore cos he's got nowhere else to go cos part of Stefan's deal included giving their house to Lily, so he's peeved that some Heretic is clipping toe nails in his master bath, doubt they'd even bother!  Ha.  He tells Bonnie that he hesitated for three seconds, the first second he got Elena back, the second second (ha) he was kissing her and the third second he would've lost his best friend and he's stuck with her until Elena's back.  Bonnie's the only friend he's got, what happened to Alaric.  Who's tyring to bring Jo back from the dead and is keeping her body on ice at the morgue instead of burying her.  Bonnie says she wants to fight for their town and Damon and her kill Malcolm (Justice Leak).  Lily's eldest.

Stefan and Caroline finally kiss and decide they want each other, when Enzo tells her he's picked a side, but it's Lily's and not theirs, as he injects her.  Well obviously he'd pick the side of the woman he loves.  So his removing Caroline's mother's plaque from the bench was an empty gesture.  We also get to see Damon on the clock tower as Matt evacuates and patrols the town, which is where we saw him in the last episode of season 6.

Three Years From Now

Stefan wakes Damon and feeds him blood, telling him she's back and has found them.  His scar opened up so that's why he knew she's back.  It was meant to be setting the scene for some interesting plotlines but that just didn't happen.  This three years from now back and forth is really annoying and isn't suspenseful at all.  Just a funny thought if that was Elena stalking them, that'd put paid to Damon's woes about getting her back!  ha.

Mr Selfridge Series 4 Episode 3 Review

Harry (Jeremy Piven) spends the night with Rosie (Emma Hamilton) (how common was that name! Suppose it had nothing to do with his wife Rose and his daughter was Rosalie!!) With his mother buried only a week ago, he's not really much in acceptance yet and more in well, he'll think about it later/denial mode.  He doesn't even want to be with his family and help them sort out his mother's belongings.  That's understandable he doesn't have to do it but they do need each other.  He just goes partying some more with Jimmy (Sacha Dhawan) and the sisters and ends up throwing his money away and at them.  Without a care even if his debts are still mounting up.  He hasn't paid his gambling debt either and the club owner wasn't too happy with that.  "You'll be good for it when I get my money" he tells Harry.  He's not even getting on with Gordon (Greg Austin) and their relationship deteriorates even further as Harry enters a bit of a scam to fool the investors into buying shares in the provincial stores.

Gordon's not too happy with that either as they have so many staff and he built those stores up, so it'll be his reputation on the line, not Harry's.  He's too blinded by wealth though and Jimmy.  I mean he doesn't even know him.  Crab (Ron Cook) tells him they're "exploiting a legal loophole" and even Jimmy doesn't listen to Gordon and tells him to talk to Harry about the scheme with the trust cos he's not pulling out.  No wonder no one understood the scheme as Jimmy used it in the theatre where he sells shares to the trust, then the theatre keeps half and buys them back or something.  Essentially it's where the theatre sells the shares it already owns to the trust, the trust splits the shares in two and sells the shares at the price of the old ones, selling half the shares and keeping the other half.

Trading on the stock market is huge as the shares pick up value.  But it won't last.  Harry throws another party and the Dolly sisters are there as usual making a spectacle of themselves, and Violette (Hannah Tointon) is disgusted with them and Harry's behaviour, she asks him what their grandmother would think of his 'friends.' She leaves and returns to Paris, not even wanting to stay with the family when he needs them the most.

Elizabeth Arden (Madeleine Potter) a friend of Harry's pays a visit and wants Kitty to run the concessions at the store.  Complaining about the pink which is the wrong shade of pink for her display and getting Lyons (Sam Swann) to change it before the store opens.  She also gives a press conference and she is quizzed by a woman from the Christian Herald about not having children, working and why she isn't there to greet her husband when he returns home in her pink negligee!! She lies and tells her she can't have children, telling Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes) that women will always make those sorts of judgements.

She's not much of a positive influence on Kitty as she calls her up in the middle of the night needing help.  Elizabeth shows her photos the PI took of her husband and his mistress, much younger and she's probably giving him a whole family.  She takes sleeping pills and drinks and wants Kitty to stay until she falls asleep.  Kitty tells Frank (Samuel West) and he tells her he'll always be here for her. Not really as Elizabeth's stirring up trouble in paradise there as she offers Kitty a job in New York with her own apartment and good pay.  She tells Frank he can stop his chasing around and she can support them both and he'll be able to write.   He replies he didn't know she didn't think much of what he does.

Elsewhere Grove (Tom Goodman-Hill) has a fall on the stairs at home and his leg is seriously bruised.  At the hospital he must await his test results and has to stay at home.  Crab brings him a transmitter kit to assemble with Earnest and the rest of the children are reminded of Doris as her favourite song plays, "Where did you get that hat?"  He also buys a car and they go driving in it.  His test results show he has a brain tumour which has spread to his lungs and his liver and that's why his leg wasn't healing.  He doesn't have much time left and chooses to spend it with his family, as they go driving again.  Meryl (Lottie Tolhurst) thinks her father as manager should show some favourtism and put her back on the shop floor instead of the storeroom.  She'll have her work cut out for her as she will need to look after the family.  Does this spell the return of Miss Mardle?

Tilly (Mimi Ndiweni) is still being singled out for racist treatment at work and Ellis (Ria Zmitrowicz) doesn't let her attend the party like the other girls, sending her to dispatch packages instead even if it's after hours.  Meryl brings her back some canopies but she's caught eating and can't afford the luxury of not being able to work.  Rosalie (Kara Tointon) drops into a church to light a candle and finds Lord Wynnstay (Robert Pugh) there.  He's the patron of their orphanage and he lost his son in the war so started the orphanage for the war orphans.  Rosalie thinks they can raise funds at the store for the orphans.  He doesn't want anyone to know what he does.

Although Harry originally had an affair with Rosie, it was Jenny (Zoe Richards) that he actually wanted , so much for her saying to him that he chose Rosie over her.  Harry visits his mother's grave and cries.  Not much else to add on this as we know where things are headed, as said before.  So much for Gordon telling Harry he's "in danger of losing everyone who truly cares about you."  Well the dice have already been cast for his downfall.  Signifying his addiction to gambling and not just with money but also with lives.  Wynnstay also telling him how the day of the salesman is over with the death of John Lewis and he's the only one left.  "How does it feel to be a dinosaur Harry?"
