Lovely comedy scene when Lexie, Myra and Judy were in Marlene's cell, trying to cheer her up:
Lexie: It's not our fault she's fat.
Myra: Lexie! I think we should say 'big boned' from now on.
Judy: Yeah, good idea.
Lexie: But she's fat!
Myra: Lexie!
Lexie: You mean to say, if she stays on this diet, her bones are going to get smaller..?
Another excellent scene with Anita, this time with Lexie talking about becoming a Catholic and then confessing about Frank, with believable and sympathetic performances by both actresses. Probably my favourite two actresses in the series at the moment. Lexie might not be likeable, but she's convincing as far as I'm concerned.
Poor Sheila/Shelly, with that unflattering camera angle of her looking like an Anchor Butter cow on the TV, with cheap disco lights moving past her in the background. Loved the hair and make-up - something I could only describe as Avon Lady's Revenge, with all that Disco Dazzle glitter and hairspray. "Sheila did write some music. But it was awful!" cried Judy, obviously an expert in popular music since she scaled new heights in mediocrity with Pixie's Song. Bet Celine Dion would have fought tooth and nail for the rights to perform it if she'd been around.
Poor Anita seemed to be getting all the amusing visitors these days. What a strange looking man that Father James was. And an Irish accent, of course (can't have a Catholic Father without an Irish accent). At least Anita has decided not to talk to the media. They only want stories like "Nun behind bars and rubbish like that," she said. Yes, hard to believe anyone would stoop to running a story like that.
"Oh Mrs Reynolds, I'm a bit confused," declared Joycie, not surprising a single viewer I imagine. But so was I at one point. One minute I caught a glimpse of Lexie pulling the mysterious pink thing out of the drier, and a few scenes later, I saw Lou putting it back into the washer. I guess that confirms that it's never worn, just washed, dried and repaired.
Loved Frank’s visual aid, to get the message across to Lou. A little shopping list of names, for who he's going to 'get' next, in nice big letters with the first one (FERGUSON) crossed out. Presumably he had to write the five names down in case he forgot one of them.
No wonder Marlene rushed out of the dining room clutching her stomach. When Lexie waved that big sausage covered in brown curry sauce, it didn't look so much like a sausage, if you catch my drift.
