About the third time they viced the versa, I may have rolled my eyes a bit.

This episode was supposed to explain much about Abel and his relationship to the late Helena, but I pretty much glossed over it. Unrequited love, royal infidelity, elopement, burning at the stake, and all ties together with "Eden". Sometimes I'm just not gripped enough to really care, and that's a shame because I think this show deserves more out of its viewer. Maybe because Abel's been a mostly brooding blank slate of obsession with little character to intrigue, but at least his fifteen minutes in the spotlight are behind us now. The plot-convenient timing of deciphering of the next clue was more than slight serendipity.
