Ettie was still whittering on about Perry Mason, and thinking she was in a time warp. No wonder - with every youth she shares a scene with dressed as a punk rocker, she must think it's still the late-1970s. I was impressed with the incredibly fast legal system, with her initial court appearance happening the very next day after her arrest.
Pippa and her hairdo were still doing wonders for kimono sales, while she bristled like some prickly poisonous shrub, and I loved the scene with Ann, Pippa and her boyfriend Simon, where Pippa sulked and Ann unintentionally p*ssed her off by appearing to like him. Very satisfying!
Romance seemed to be everywhere. Now Meg had another marriage proposal to add to her collection, after Dennis popped the question on the floral print sofa. Although I must admit it all felt a bit unpleasant and incestuous, being the goody-goody twins. Oh well, it's been a while since the Wentworth man-magnet had a bloke falling for her or marrying her, so I guess I should have expected it by now.
Meanwhile, the waiter in the restaurant said something very interesting, I thought, to Joyce. "Has madam decided what she'd like?" Indeed. Actually, it looked as though she might have by then. Mervin said to her, "I'd like to take you one day." And it looks as though he did, with naughty Joycie sneaking in during Meg and Dennis' cosy breakfast. Most amusing line for me was when Joyce told Mervin she'd have to watch her figure from now on, and Mervin replied that that was his job (if she'd let him of course).
