    Summary

    Their eyes met across the restaurant, and Carol felt like a ship at sea in a maelstrom, that strains and tips and crashes with the waves and calls out, “All is lost!”—until, at the very last moment, the shard of the lighthouse’s lamp breaks through the storm, and offers a way home.

    Summary

    She doesn’t quite know what to do with the way that Alice is looking at her. Like she’s something sacred, something inescapable, one of the old gods that slumber in the centre of the earth—Alice’s eyes are their own kind of hunger, the ache of an empty belly, the dark comfort of dreaming and the soft light of coming awake.

    “Your life is your own, Narcissa,” she says.

    And oh, how badly Narcissa wishes that were true.

    Summary

    “It’s hardly an appropriate matter to discuss,” Serena asserts in hard-edged, bitten-off word shards. In that moment it’s not the voice of a pious freak-wife, June thinks, nor that of a right-wing crackpot, but the voice of a woman with a penchant for not acknowledging the elephant in the room.

    Takes place sometime during, or shortly after 2x05.
