What challenges do John and Arthur face upon returning to Arkham?
Dad, if you're going to refuse to get an apartment, at least sleep on the couch. Arthur, Faroe, she's... And don't leave the window wide open. It's October, Dad. You're going to catch a cold.
What are you... Faroe, she's... What are you doing here? Faroe is hugging us.
Are you... Shh, just hug me.
I was up late writing Arthur the typewriter result on the desk, as well as the notes we copied from the file folder to the chalkboard. Faroe is... Well, that was nice, but what was that for? Faroe tosses the newspaper she had tucked under her arm before us on the desk and walks toward the sink.
How does Faroe's arrival impact the dynamics between the characters?
Oh, what is... The headline reads, Robert Puckett, dead. Oh, honey, I... She's leaning against one of the cabinets, arms folded, a scowl on her face.
I'm sorry, I... I was halfway to the university when I saw that. You scared me nearly half to death.
I'm fine.
Really, I... Then you didn't answer your phone? What's the point of having one, Dad, if you're not going to answer it?
Arthur, I... I took it off the receiver last night to focus. I didn't think... I... I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I... I wasn't thinking.
What case do John and Arthur get involved in after reading the newspaper?
You sure weren't. But boy, am I glad you're okay.
Yeah. Her face relaxes. Her eyes brighten again as she uncrosses her arms and strolls back over to our desk. She turns the paper around so she can read it.
Hot burglary finds notorious businessman Robert Puckett dead. Dad, this is a real case they've got.
I guess you just got hired to solve it.
How on earth?
What details emerge about Robert Puckett's mysterious death?
Long story. Aren't you late for astrology?
Astronomy? Yeah. And I have a few. Just give it to me in PDQ. Yeah.
A packet was dead when I got there. Signs of forced entry. Pretty significant ones.
How do John and Arthur plan to investigate the case further?
And I ran into someone.
Looks like it. Did you stop him with your mug?
Hey, I got a few shots in as well. She sits on the desk and reaches over, touching the bruise on your forehead.
Must have been quite the goose to lay an egg that big.
I'm fine.
So, who hired you?
Better you not. No, love.
What insights do the characters share about trust and relationships?
Oh, really? You land what looks to be the hottest case in Arkham, and you want me to stay away?
She stood up, leafing through the papers on our desk. The ones from Sam's murder. The drawing I made of the tattoo.
Pucket of Sailor?
Actually, that's a different case.
Either of these pay ink, Dad?
What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, nothing.
What revelations are made about the nature of the Blackstone?
Just someone's got to make sure you're taking care of yourself.
As a matter of fact, the Pucket case will pay so well, the ones I did pro bono won't matter.
You are a big softie, Dad.
Is that a problem?
No.
She turns back and smiles.
I like it.
She turns around again coyly and looks at our chalkboard of notes transcribed from the files Jack gave us.
Hayes, McMahon, Fleming. A lot of names here, Dad.
How does the episode conclude with the characters' next steps?
Sure would be easier if you had another set of eyes.
No.
Why?
Not this one. Too dangerous. And besides, I thought you didn't want to play secretary anymore.
This isn't secretary. It's partner.
I had a partner. That didn't take long.
You want me to answer that?
Would you?
So I can answer phones, but I can't help you with it.
You gonna answer it? Yes.
Yes? I can?
No, not you.
Then who? Oh, stop. Are you done with this file?
Arthur Lester, private investigator. How can I help you? Arthur? Yes? Oscar. Oh! Oscar, hi. How are you? Good, good. I just wanted to discuss with you. I was thinking of coming to visit. Coming to visit? Well, that's an idea. Good idea. Have you read through these, Dad? What? Yes. Yes? No.
No?
Well, no, I think it's a good idea. Would be lovely to see you, Oscar. How are you?
No, to me?
You scamp, would you stop? Farrow sticks out her tongue and smiles innocently. Sorry, Oscar, it's not a great time. Of course, I'm sorry. No, no, no, let me call you back. But yes, for the record, I think it'd be a great time for you to visit. Would love to catch up. Wonderful. I'll let you go for now. Thank you, Oscar. Talk soon. My best of rule.
So, who is that?
Why are you torturing me?
For the torturous morning where I wasn't sure if you were okay.
Can we be even now?
Happily. But I am serious, Dad. I may be of help.
I have no doubt. But the people who hired me, the things Pocket was into, I'd rather keep you as far away as possible.
