(Its all about keeping up appearances, you see.)
Think of chloroform as our own Fort Sumnter, Hale tells Bullen.
Theirs is action that affects innocents, and once Foster gets wind of the plan, he turns irate.

This is her bitterness; a bitter drink which literally renders her drunk.
Here a bit of comedy ensues: Hastings is alternately vicious with Mary (Unhand me!
Ill not have your viper paws upon me!)
Also going off the deep end this episode?
You cannot create a union by force, she says, crying.
And where has Aurelia been this entire time, you ask?
Well, shes recovered yay!
Theres just the matter of getting the salary shes owed from Bullen.
(They eventually unspool a fuse for future detonation in the dentists office.)
One might almost envy Aurelia her calm assurance here.
(Smart and sexy?
Will this finally bring out the maturity that weve yet to see from Jimmy?
Thats abundantly clear to Mary, whos excused herself from the crowd greeting Lincoln by staying inside with Philip.
Hes dying, hallucinating that Mary is his dear wife Hetty, and Mary doesnt tell him otherwise.
This doesnt go unnoticed by Foster, who perhaps for the first time, fully understands Marys empathy.
You did all you could, he says, stroking away her tears, and then cupping her face.
Though PBS hasnt yet ordered a second season, theres definitely plenty of fodder to tackle in future episodes.
What kinds of activities will Alice become involved with as a member of the Knights?
Will Frank eventually tell Emma about his aborted assassination plan?
Will Emma ever get her audience with Lincoln?
Will the series see her fall in love with Chaplain Hopkins?
How will James Green fare in prison?
Will his sons actions help or hurt him?
And will the possibility of a romantic relationship help or hinder that goal?
There are so many lingering questions lets hope we fans get answers in the form of a season 2!
