Again, I read straight through the episode without stopping. I'm fascinated by the way Susan manages to further develop both the plot and Lirium's character with each episode. In this one, Lirium continues to mature, becoming both stronger and more vulnerable. His need to nurture and protect becomes more pronounced with each episode. His mother is no slouch, either - that lady has got some spine. While I think it's a good thing that Lirium realizes that he needs help, I found myself regarding his bean counter with some suspicion. We'll see if that works out.This is the next to last episode, and there is a lot of complicated things in play. Either the last episode will be a longer one, or - just maybe - there is more story needed. These nine episodes are the total of series 1, and it's just now occurring to me that perhaps not all will be neatly resolved in episode 9. So I'm now eyeing Susan with suspicion, too. :)
