My Review:

Only the mad would call this madness. Only the blind will look and not see.

The murderer in this installment is photographing the dead and sending the pictures to Nadine. The way Eve's mind works is fascinating. I was lost on this one. I had no idea who was killing these young people, even after Eve was able to piece together the likely why.

"Chipper's my middle name. I'm going out to spread joy and laughter to all of mankind."

It was just Eve's luck - the first time we witness her true joy and excitement, this time over Summerset's impending vacation, she completely jinxes herself by celebrating a tad too early. Oh Galahad, what have you done? 🤭

"I feel stupid."
"No, sweetheart. You feel married."

When Roarke shuts out Eve she's unsure how to react. What's wrong? Has she done something? Should she push? Thankfully, Mira's there to reassure her and set her on a path to answers. But, unsurprisingly, it's Feeney who gives her the conclusive push in the direction she's needed most -- to Dublin, with her man, who is digging into parts of his past he thought were closed to him forever.

There were some rollercoaster moments:
≈ Roarke's discoveries
≈ Peabody's taking the next step - personally & professionally
≈ Trueheart's close call
≈ Baxter's growth
≈ Eve's marriage rules

A very long time to wait! What the heck!? 🤞🏼
