Oh no, oh hell... the baby is coming...

I lived the argument between Serena & Fred. It was so revealing, so filled with vitriol and resentment. They really dropped their usual ‘act’ of cool but polite and let go.

It is a strange dynamic but brilliant acting.

Uh-oh

Maybe that is the family summer house, and they live in the city for the winter.

Even in a beautifully written and well shot series like THT they still have no idea that women gradually go into labour instead of dropping to their knees and screaming after absolutely no sign of labour previously

Ooh, or perhaps Commander Mackensie was injured in the bomb, so the family are living elsewhere for his recovery.

Could it be any more hard for her

Serena and Fred really hate each other.

I think June might have been ignoring the earlier and less dramatic signs of her labour in this episode. I did wonder earlier if she had started to go into labour.

Beginning to drive me insane

I really wish the writers would give her a break

Oh god, now she needs help.

Do you think they might come back to search again?

The wolf is back. Is she imagining her?

I’m not surprised she’s contracting after all that stress and trying to lift garage doors!

I’m guessing it’s their Summer house

I think the shot when they arrived showing the tennis rackets and shoes was to show it is their summer house

So all that will happen this episode is find a car, pack up stuff have baby. There really had better be some sort of a conclusion to this series.

God that’s a lot of blood!

All that blood!

This is so awful.

Is there normally that much blood in labour????

Oh that’s a lot of blood! Has her labour stopped?

I think she's going to get help/ turn herself in to save the baby

Give her a break ffs

Poor Ofred. :(

No, that much blood is not good

Is she calling for help?
