This was an episode where he not only had to deal with the three women who have been a part of his life but he had to also cope with watching Win (trying to cope with agoraphobia) and especially Fred Thursday to appear frail and finding it hard to keep a grip on their sanity. Endeavour had to endure a myriad of emotions unlike anything he has had to deal with any previous episode. Russell Lewis, the writer of the Endeavour series, created an episode that pushed Shaun Evans every acting sinew to almost breaking point. It was a bravo performance from both Sara Vickers and Shaun Evans.

The scene was voyeuristically unnerving as we watched Endeavour trying to control his strong feelings while Joan Thursday one felt was strongly attempting to control and bury any feelings she had for Morse. The scene was a mesmerising catalogue of feelings an embarrassed, taciturn, emotionally crippled Morse with a brassy, unapologetic, obstinate Joan. The ‘girlfriend’ of the future was of course Joan Thursday, tracked down by Endeavour, (all rather too easily) to a flat in Leamington. Monica left Endeavour with the wise words, “Treat the next one better”. (I also believe Russell Lewis never finished Endeavour and Monica’s relationship satisfactorily).

Endeavour seemed uncomfortable talking to Monica and so he should be after the slipshod way he treated her. Endeavour and Monica’s scene was all too short. The girlfriend of the (recent) past was the nurse, Monica Hicks played by Shvorne Marks. With the onslaught of Mrs Bryce Morgan’s withering poisonous remarks about Endeavour’s lack of success in his life we saw poor Morse visibly shrink as each verbal blow rained down on his already dented psyche. The introduction of the unrelenting seemingly unemotional Mrs Bryce Morgan gave us another reason why Morse’s relationship with Susan failed Mrs Bryce Morgan was never going to allow her daughter to marry a ‘failure’ like Endeavour. Though we didn’t get to meet Susan we certainly got to make the acquaintance of her mother, Caroline Bryce Morgan played exquisitely by Phoebe Nicholls. The girlfriend of the past was of course Susan (Wendy in Dexter’s books) who though only seen briefly haunted the episode like the first Mrs de Winter in Daphne du Maurier’s novel, ‘Rebecca’. Poor Morse has to contend with the ghosts girlfriends of Christmas past, present and (possibly) future. Russell Lewis the writer is back on form with a episode that not only put Endeavour through the emotional wringer but the viewers as well. ReviewīORING! BORING! BORING!
