The cinematography is different in these scenes. There are a lot of shadows and muted colours. It looks quite art house. In-keeping with this is angst and pain. It’s not a happy time. Sarah is greeted by René’s sister,  Adele Duval, who asks forgiveness for keeping Rene from her:René himself is shown to be a broken man, and catatonic. He doesn’t speak to, nor even appear to be aware of Sarah. And he doesn’t respond to her contact. There’s one scene in which his hand reaches out towards hers, which is on the table. Sarah holds her hand out in return, then realises he’s reaching for the food she has prepared. He eats without any recognition that she is present. Sarah’s decision is to ask Adele for permission to take René to Inverness to recuperate. But she later finds Adele crying:Sarah spends the night on the bed with René, and it’s implied - though not confirmed - that she’s saying  her goodbye to him. But when she starts to leave the room, René turns and calls her name. Which could change everything.Furious at her grandmother, Anna has moved in with Carolyn. I’m not clear if Jack is living there, but he’s certainly there a great deal of the time, so they’ve become a little family unit. And Anna’s been putting more pieces of the puzzle together. After a run in with Elizabeth she ended up in a heated exchange with Jack, filled with overlapping dialogue:For a second, I  thought Jack was going to do a  Kat Slater in response to Anna’s suggestion that he wasn’t her father (“Yes I aaaaaaaaaaammmmm”). He managed to restrain himself, but too late, because Anna saw that flicker in his eyes. And it was enough for her to confront Carolyn:And so there’s a father/daughter reunion. This happens just as Anna’s other father is in danger of going off the rails. George has been drinking heavily (something Anna had been witness to), and there’s distance there. But this storyline has given Brett Climo his strongest scenes yet as he rails at Elizabeth, cries to himself in the car and falls into a pit of depression, from which he’s just beginning to emerge. He also has words for Regina:But, thick-skinned as ever, she’s bought the old Walker/Polsen place and is hanging round like a bad smell.</blockquote>
