I think the writers suspected we wouldn't buy Fitz killing Verna because she was going to come clean and that everything would come out. That last mention of his father did it. They had already set up that Fitz reacts in the extreme when it comes to his father.Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-42759602554876427472013-02-10T01:34:20.456-05:002013-02-10T01:34:20.456-05:00Nice review, Sunbunny.

It was pretty much the perfect physical accompaniment to them telling each other the naked truth for the first time. :) And I was glad that Cyrus couldn't have James killed, even at the cost of the only thing in life that he wanted.<br /><br />And I'm very disappointed with Fitz. I sort of get it; the woman had just dashed his dreams, made his presidency a farce, and made him hate the love of his life -- plus she had ordered his assassination. And she was even on her death bed. Can we blame it on residual brain damage and lack of impulse control from the bullet in his brain?Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-16735949316210162522013-02-10T00:26:33.428-05:002013-02-10T00:26:33.428-05:00Now, that was a development I did not see coming! ...Now, that was a development I did not see coming! I'm not quite sure how I feel about it either. On the one hand, wow. Great character and story development. On the other hand, however, how do we continue to root for a guy who a) knows that the presidency is not his and b) just murdered someone?<br /><br />I'm with you on Harrison. His blind loyalty to Olivia can be disturbing and I found his little speech to Abby to be over the top, almost cult like. But, it worked. Abby ended up doing exactly what he wanted her to do and, I believe, broke her own heart by doing it.<br /><br />I just have to add how much I loved the Huck/Charlie/Hollis encounter. Hollis is a cool customer, even with two assassins pointing guns.<br /><br />Hope the talking animals helped! :-)ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
