Whew! I was going to start this recap with all of the witty things that happened in last night’s episode. Hugh (Hugo Johnstone-Burt) comparing a car to Dot’s (Ashleigh Cummings) sewing machine. Miss Fisher’s (Essie Davis) karate chop to the neck of a suspect. Dot pretending to be a Russian rally driver and her attempt at making up a magazine name ‘The Women’s Monthly’, was quite amusing indeed.
Then the moment between Jack (Nathan Page) and Phryne happened at the end!!
OMG women of the ABC!! There is nothing more to talk about in this recap except that moment. With Jack thinking that Phryne was in that car wreck, he realised he actually loves her! HE LOVES HER!! Did you see his eyes well up with tears when he said they couldn’t work together anymore? I was weeping like a little baby. Betty the cat left the room for a moment to compose herself. Poor Jack would rather ignore his feelings and push poor Phryne away than work with her and admit he loves her big time.
Jack was so cranky for the majority of the episode, I knew something was up. I was more hoping his ugly ex-wifey had died in a hideous drowning accident but alas, no luck on that front. Instead we see our beautiful Detective putting a little piece of his heart on the line. Ladies, (and Gentleman, there no limits on who our Jack’s fans are) this is part of a bigger picture we have been waiting for through one and a half seasons!!
I’ve seen the next episode. I can’t tell you anything. I know, I know, it’s a curse!!!
All we need to focus on now is that our delicious, teared up Det. Jack has taken the first steps in an admission to loving Miss Fisher. What a wonderful way to end the episode. Even Betty, a knower of all things Fishy didn’t guess how it would end! Now, all we need is Phryne to make the first move and we might finally get a glimpse of Det. Jack in his undergarments by the end of the season. And that, my dear ladies of the ABC, is certainly worth waiting for. (Please note Betty and author drooling at time of writing……)

I love your reviews! I hope we will all be satisfied by the end of the series!
You have seen the next episode-envious!
Phrack (ugh portmanteau names!) need to figure out how to get together. The moment did overshadow all the previous excellent parts of episode.
Phrack!! I love it!! Will steal this and give you full credit!!
Feel free to use!
Now I find that phrack is a hacker ezine and has philes. It was meant to be.
I’m here because I’m watching for the 5th or 6th time the series and just finished ep7s2 and I want other people that watch the series to tell me if I’m mistaken because English is my 2nd language and until now all times I watched it I didn’t hear the same thing I heard this time… I always thought after he agrees to her statement of “you won’t ask me to stop so you’re dropping me instead”, that she says “if you did that Jack I’d feel like you lying in that wreckage” and that’s understandable but now I’m going crazy because I’m hearing her say “if you did that Jack I’d feel like I WISH YOU lying in that wreckage” and what the absolute ffff. That’s a horrible horrible horrible thing to say, he didn’t kill her daughter, he admitted he can’t handle the possibility of losing her so he pushed her away, it’s not the nicest thing but not the worst either. I cannot handle that they wrote that line for her. Why would they write “wish” and if so why not say “wish I was lying in the wreckage”, why would she say she wishes he’d be dead to him saying he can’t handle if something happened to her. I don’t think I’ve ever been so sad to hear something from a character I love on screen.. BTW if I’m hearing it wrong please do say so. Otherwise lovely review, I agree with everything but now this episode leaves a very very bitter taste in my mouth
