It is interesting to see the change in Julien's relationships. Malcolm & Suzanne seem to really consider him a friend now and are willing to have him interact closely with the children. He has also created relationships with some of their other friends like Simon & Jeremy. Julien's relationship with Kitty has also grown. Her children seem to expect him to be around especially at dinner. I expected the relationship to be more in the shadows, but it isn't.

Some things haven't changed which is Julien & Kitty both keeping secrets from each other. Both seem to think they are protecting the other person.

Question: Does Kitty know Julien’s secret back story? I can’t remember...

Yes , a lot has shifted even from MIDWINTER'S. I think we can assume everyone interacted a lot over the holiays. Julien is now ":+Uncle Julien"
