Looking back at these sixth episode installments – it’s curious to see how these moments (almost every one) play into the overall plot in one form or another by the end of the season. Well played, writers, well played. Which was the most subtle, but on reflection – most “of course!” for you? Which was the biggest shock? Your favourite? Finally – which was the most fun of the episode six collection? For me, it’s a tight race, but I have a special place in my heart for “Ask Jeeves” because it’s just so much fun to watch – especially the ladies fawning over Sam.

Reflect, reminisce and share below!
