Amber (recently recast with Olivia Bernstone) is torn as her suspicions mount over some missing money. But when she points the finger wildly, it pushes her relationship with George to breaking point.
When Ruth confronts Leonard about his behaviour, he drops a huge bombshell.

Lot of sore throats about this time of year.
“I am in fact an unexploded WWII bomb.”
Oh please, make it so! That woman is so ghastly.
The bombshell was a total non-anything.
At least it had the merit of winding Ruth up. Shame Pip put her right on that so soon. And I did enjoy Leonard giving both Ruth and Pip a lecture on the way they were hovering about him and the way Ruth in particular wanted to know every detail of his life. Words that needed saying!
Odd that Pip thought Ruth had only just started to get - ‘curious’ was the word she used - nosy would be more to the point. Ruth has always been like that! But perhaps Pip is too self-absorbed to notice other people much.
Yes; prurience has certainly been one of Ruth’s characteristics for decades.
She makes my skin crawl when she’s doing her sympathetic listener act but in reality prying out the details of someone’s life. I sometimes wonder if it’s the actor’s sorely limited range that provokes this reaction. Is Ruth being written as actually being sympathetic and Felicity Finch can’t manage to get that across?
