Well…some unexpected highlights for the rest of the episode.
I’ve not yet read through the previous posts, so I’ll take a peek soon.
But what a pair, without judging too harshly people I don’t know, it seems that they brought out the very worst in each other.
He a raging self obsessed, self serving narcissist. The irony of his self inflicted injuries almost mirroring those of baby Teddie’s was not lost on me - of all the ways to commit suicide, he chose to inflict fatal brutal force on himself.
I found her eerily cold & indifferent to her children, as well as her attitude to her own safely. Alas, we do hear that people think that DA in the home does not affect children as they were in another room, despite all the evidence, anecdote & livid experience that says otherwise. The only thing that seemed to upset her was the news that baby Teddie was not his, & that was momentary. She wears a mask so she is hard to read but her actions say that she did not protect that child by denying what was going on.
I found the child’s testimony horribly sad. I assume that her three other children have remained with their father as their mother failed to protect them & she was convicted of neglect. Yes the house looked nice & tidy, but neglect was well established.
I was impressed by the intelligence, compassion, integrity, hard work & professionalism of the police team.
Off to read what you’ve all said.
