I lost my power for a while last night and look what I wake up to find - more story and even more story!
SPOILERSChapter 49:
Well, it looks like Paula and Henry are already getting hit hard with the reality of just how complex and sticky it can be to get romantically involved with some you also deal with professionally
Yikes - so many land mines here - especially since they moved things along so quickly on their first date. Paula's reaction was very human and realistic, being annoyed with herself for being annoyed!
But I can't see that she had any legitimate reason to accompany Henry to the hospital - she still needs to work on keeping her professional and personal emotions separate and I can see that's going to be even more challenging in light of the fact that she's seeing Henry
and that she can't seem to get Ellery off her mind.
Her thougths about Henry and confidentiality were astute - it's clear he isn't comfortable with subterfuge, which makes him a good forensic psychologist, but perhaps not the best person for Ellery to have confided in - imo, he may have already said too much to Paula about Ellery and now that Paula is going to bring up Hezekiah Waldrop, I'm wondering how and if they can "get it out of the way" and get to "dinner."
Chapter 50:
Wow - that is some chapter you wrote for the 50th! Holy crap. Not only set up but drugged, too. And now we have to wonder what other parts of this puzzle are still missing? Poor Ellery. Thank goodness we know that his Fearless Leader won't stop digging. That pay phone sure is getting use (makes me even more grateful for cell phones!). Thanks, Louise!
