Sunday Bit of Ballyk
They aired The Reckoning and Amongst Friends twice this week!
I have a few questions, please feel free to answer any or all, or none lol
a) What is “the truth” Assumpta refers to? Sure, this may be rhetorical but indulge me lol
b) What was Brian coming over for? He’d gone to the pub first and Assumpta wasn’t there so he went to the next likely location?
c) What did Ambrose hope to accomplish by serving summons? If the case hadn’t been dismissed he was putting Assumpta’s license at risk, condemning them all to community service…what? Surely the risk of them all facing legal prosecution wouldn’t be worth stroking his ego.
d) How did they collectively decide Padraig should represent them? Why not Brendan, Brain or Siobhan?
e) They all arrived to court together but left in different directions? Courtesy of my husband going “Where are they all going, they came together” lol
f) Did everyone wonder where Peter and Assumpta had gone off to? Clearly they all seemed to split after leaving the courthouse, maybe for lunch or whatnot. But if everyone made it back to town and they didn’t…the looks!
g) Is Brian’s restaurant ever mentioned after Amongst Friends? The seasons after 3 did not receive my undivided attention lts
h) How long would it have taken Fr. Mac and Kathleen to realize they were the only ones not invited to the wake? Eamon even asks about Shamie lol
***We don’t get to see exactly how much Peter told Fr. Mac. How would he have approached this? Maybe Fr. Mac would have spared him and made implications which Peter could not deny? I would have liked to see this conversation, as when they walk out of St. Joseph’s Fr. Mac does not appear immediately annoyed, maybe even a bit disheartened.
