I also think the sentence from the plea bargain is far too harsh for a woman with post-partem depression. It brings me to tears every time.
"Why don't these people let me rest my folder on the desk,
"See, I can fit inside. Just."
See what you do to your shoes by all that crouching down, Bobby?
As if the hands in the pockets were not enough...
...he then has to give us a glimpse of his tubby tum.
Oh, those arms...
...and those curls.
Emotion in every pore.
"Now THAT'S affect."
i know what you mean about that episode.i suffered very badly from post-natal depression after the boys were born. i really felt for the mum and how awful the illness is.x
ReplyDeleteI always remember Kate Erbe saying this episode was so tough to film because of the storyline, and because Vincent was so ill :(
ReplyDeleteshades, belly and curls... heavenly.
ReplyDeleteone can't see that he was ill, he just looked great as always.
It was a very emotional episode. One of my favorites, none-the-less. I wanted to strangle the father, too. What a horrible man.
ReplyDeletethat poor woman needed help and they put her away... call that a justice system... I don't think so
ReplyDeletethis episode was horrendously painful on so many levels and not one I care to watch too often
even so, Val, your caps and captions are great as always
Even ill I'd take him......WOOF
ReplyDeleteYes, this was a gut-wrenching episode ... but as painful as it is, I give the eppy a big thumbs up: because not every story has a happy or "just" ending ... a hard and bitter pill to swallow. That is the "art" of this episode, as opposed to the "entertainment." Television, when it is at its best, is both.
ReplyDeleteI used this episode as the starting off point for one of the best fics I've ever written (sorry to bang my own drum, but I'm very proud of it)
ReplyDeleteI love his tum - it's part of him! Not an episode I seek out to watch tho'....
ReplyDeleteIn that last picture, after reading your caption, I fully expected Bobby to stick his tongue out.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the curls.
