Episode 08
[ EPISODE EIGHTCOLD OPEN: Charls and Lennox making nice and chatting, nbd. And then suddenly someone shouting "IT'S A REAL FIIIGHT!" and then the camera cuts to the British diplomat and the German diplomat breakdance fighting. Camera awkwardly pans over everyone's unimpressed faces except for two dignitaries placing bets on the winner. ] [ OPENING CREDITS: Mixed bag edition! The usual opening music is instead intercut with Molly opening a sexy lingerie present slash owl onesie. Whatevs, you guys, it's totes the same thing. ] Transitioning into the first part of the episode, we cut to a shot of Morgan leaving a book on Jim's desk. It's probably Fifty Shades of Grey judging by her muttering to herself. On a less saucy note, the scene cuts to Martha doing some innocuous house-hunting. This is played in conjunction with a few voiceovers and scenes from her confessional. Particular emphasis on "Why am I not happy? …I'm paid to be happy. Or at least smiling. But it feels like I don't have a whole lot to be happy about… Maybe I'm just stuck in a rut and need to break myself out of it. Only thing is, is that I don't know how." Meanwhile, Mark doesn't seem too happy either. Interns, man. They mess everything up and can't get coffee right. Iona is similarly cynical and Judges You All. And she has the right to, given that she seems to be the only one doing work 'round here. So many Negative Nancies this fortnight, even the usually [ COMMERCIAL BREAK ] On the work front, we have Lennox discussing his prep for the conference. While Charls does one better and engages Fräu Ebner to chat with him and not have the conversation devolve to breakdance fighting! DIPLOMACY WIN. Speaking of diplomacy wins, Niall introduces himself wins hearts and schnitzels. /MICDROP LEAVES BUILDING Merlin, everyone's been such a downer. Except for Jamila, who can be counted on to see the bright side of things, especially now that everyone's back to their usual selves. Supercuts (supercutes amirite) of Jamila hugging people! And Lily's joining in on the being glad to be back bandwagon. Also a friendly reminder that: "Also bitches better know it is my birthday soon. This hot single Potter is turning twenty-one. If I carried about shit like drinking in the USA, but this is England so who gives a fuck what the drinking age in USA is." Apparently, the genderswap did have some positive effects. Roxanne enlightens the world: "Is it funny that it took being a bloke to really move me and Chance forward? Okay, news flash, I like Chance McGuire and he fancies me too and I think we're kind of an article, and if that's weird then I like weird!" The confessional is intercut with shots of them talking and then leaving work together. Oooooo. We bet they're getting boned on the reg. You know, with each other. And OH SNAP, you know what happened since that Witch Weekly feature on Gareth as an eligible bachelor? Stasi has news for you, ladies: YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE. What's this? Romance blooming between dashing young diplomat, Hawthorne Rosier, and Morgan Shacklebolt? Oh my. Who wouldn't like Morgan anyway? She is a delight and organising a bake sale for Tomorrow's Children. (Tomorrow's Children, TODAY.) Maybe that's why Hawthorne left a message for Gavin--pro tips for dating? But we also see Jamila giving him tea and hugs. What's happening there? INTRIGUE. After that, we cut to Joe talking to some dude. This is all shot from a distance and edited intentionally so we only hear snippets of the conversation. DOUBLE INTRIGUE. It seems like this is a week of announcements because Esperanza had something important to say too. The whole confessional plays in full and unedited. Cue touching music as we also cut to scenes of Viv sending out invites. Then later on sending Sam toothpaste while Jamila helpfully supplies toothbrushes. Sentimental pan over Sam's desk along with other birthday presents. Cut to Silas' own birthday haul, including this delightful plant pot from Lystrom and this card that we sadly cannot read. Blast. Awww, they all care about each other, see? [ END CREDITS ROLL OVER: Evelyn receiving sexy lingerie. One wonders where it's from. Maybe Ev's just a secret deviant, amirite? ] |
