Maybe she didn’t want to know about the ghost, about Myrddin’s widow, about whatever secrets Ianto was hiding. It was all tangled up like catch in a fishing net, nearly dead things thrashing as they choked on air. Maybe Preston was right about why people believed in magic. The truth was an ugly, dangerous thing. “Well,” Effy said, “I’ll try my best to stay out of your mother’s way.”
Whyy (I ask again for the third time)? Obviously she knows something. Even if Effy doesn't realize who she actually is, she should assume the person closest to Myrddin would *know something* !!
This poor plot contrivance is killing me.
