Ah, I must have missed that last time. Thanks for that

Although...how would the storage man know that? Didn't he call the police on the basis of that name? I clearly wasn't paying that much attention at this point!

[Reo]

I think it was the same man and storage that she used last time.

And he was there when Peter and Claire searched it.

Thanks Reo

When we caught that little teaser that she's alive in the hospital, I thought they'd call her Eve, but nope. They're seriously unprofessional - you don't call a serial killer by the name of one of their victims.

So true! And as they are so concerned with nobody finding out she's back, referring to "Eve" would not provoke the reaction that "Zoe" would if overheard. Peter made me laugh when he claimed the police were "one step ahead" of her. Three steps behind is more like it. I don't think they'll be able to keep it secret much longer.

I'm not sure what to think about Macca - the violence did seem unlike him. If I were Matilda, I'd talk to Martha.

I like how it's all getting to Peter and he's not coping with it, I think it's good seeing how it's affecting him personally.

I thought the Macca stuff was good but Matilda should have talked more to Cassie rather than just going off in a huff.

I think Kate Ritchie's acting was good when she dropped the light bulb and was just sat in shock. Maybe it's going to hit her that Flynn's not around to help her through it this time...

[Bay_Mad]

Aww I miss Flynn 2

And I though Sharni's acting yesterday was brilliant, I've never really liked Cassies character much but I thought how they dealt with Macca hitting her was really well done, that is until she got back with him!! You just wouldn't!!

Oh and can I just say..run Peter run!!!!! The poor guys gona give himself a heart attack!

[Frankie]

Well this is what I said about when it aired in Oz ...I feel pretty much the same.... It was such a sad episode...I had the kleenex on hand...and I cried at exactly the same point asI did last time I saw it.

Well this was certainly an episode of contrasts!

Lets start with Peter, who has to be dumb cop(f) personified.... When they mentioned Wal Harrise and anagrams 99% of the viewers immediately spotted it...but did Peter?...NO!...nor did even dumber cop Jack......TT is the only one staying calm. I do like how we don't get to see Zoe though, that is actually quite effective. The Summer Bay residents are not seeing her, neither are we. We know she is there, and so do some of them...but no one sees her..it is evoking just the right feeling of uncertainty and supense! If we or they saw her it would not be the same.

Sally and the Zoe stuff was good, Sally saved all the Peter scenes she was in.

Which leaves Barry. It wasnt overly sentimental, for which I am grateful. I think if they had gone too OTT on the sloppy stuff it wouldnt have worked and it would not have been true to the characters concerned. Chris looked genuinely choked when Kim was saying goodbye to his Dad. Kim also made his annoyance at Irene's intransigence abundently clear. For a moment there, I almost thought she was not going to read that letter.

The reactions of other people were what I would expect. Colleen as always was judgemental with arms akimbo, Beth was understanding, and Alf was blustery. The friendship between Barry and Morag is an odd one, and shows a side to her that we do not often see.

The letter to Irene was lovely, and Barry's voice does leave you feeling a bit goose pimpley ....The use of the photograph was a nice touch and the note from Irene at the end, was just right. The look on his face when he read that was lovely..... he was so happy to get it and looked as if he anted to show them all...that's when I needed the tissues.....my Mum was already a goner when Irene was reading the letter...

It was a sad episode, but it did not end on a sour note, and hopefully it has left the door open for the future. I really hope that somehow Barry can be brought back.

Peter on the other hand...someone give me a gun...

[Tulip]

I thought for a moment in the police station Barry looked like he was going to kiss Morag and I thought nooooooo the writers are going to make Irene walk in, how trashy. Glad they didn't though.

Peter pressurising Rachel and that guy was so mean though.

Tracey is strange, I don't like her. bring back Clare!!

[buffygirl]

OMG..The mere thought of Barry kissing Morag sends me to the nearest sick bucket.

We'll apart from the revelation of Zoe revelation , what on earth did Peter expect our Sally to do keep hum..wakeup big boy Peter.

The scenes between Father and son were done emotionally well..for once Chris really looked choked by his das parting..i loved it when he told Irene ..do what you want i could'nt careless anymore.

The scenes at the beech..the photo was a good as to their past. Barrys (Ivars over voice)..was nicely done , you got to appreciate that voice of his..

The letter he got you could see the realisation on his face in aknowledgement that Irene read his letter..it gave tham both a sort of closure..but the doors left open for him!

[katya]

I thought the Macca stuff was good but Matilda should have talked more to Cassie rather than just going off in a huff.

I think Matilda was absolutely bewildered by Cassie's decision to give things with Macca another go, and was probably too shocked to put up a good argument. I think a lot of people would react in that way.

I think Kate Ritchie's acting was good when she dropped the light bulb and was just sat in shock. Maybe it's going to hit her that Flynn's not around to help her through it this time...

I agree about the Flynn thing. Although it's sad, it's quite a nice touch, and very true to life. I miss Flynn!
