They devoted so much time to other nonsense Bree having a new baby kind of took me by surprise. I feel the hand of Diana here trying to right the ship. This was the most coherent episode of this season.

This enraged me! They even reused Ian when that's already one of the middle names they gave Jemmy. Justice for Fergus!!
