So, several months after Marilyn announced she was going to die, she does.Kind of.There's a few decent scenes in here and a few appalling wrongs, with Marilyn making the same mistakes about Sid that she's been making since she first told him.Dexter is on brilliant form once again. The scene of Marilyn nearly getting run over seems to have been lifted straight from the first episode of Vic and Bob's Randall and Hopkirk. The scenes leading up to her accident are a bit contrived, relying on some extremely careless behaviour on the part of the unnamed mother and a massive leap of logic from Sid.
Elsewhere, we have some ongoing relationship story lines.Romeo's plan is, as Indigo points out, completely insane and the show could surely have come up with a better excuse for keeping him around?There are some nice scenes with Liam and Nicole as a result though.Jackson only seems to be in the episode because they couldn't be bothered to bring in a new character, serving purely as a plot device.Ruby, a character who is often totally unlikeable, is frustratingly rather good here.Okay, her plan is underhand and vaguely unpleasant and it's a relief Liam doesn't go for it but she is well-intentioned and her confrontation with Bianca is spot on.
