Loxley always there to foil Harry. This time Harry won. But we know that Harry makes disastrous financial gambles, and may not get bailed out this time. Will Loxley get the field for the aerodrome? Will Sergei tell Harry to jump in the lake even though Sergei is living in Harry's home? Will Loxley buy Sergei his own mansion? Maybe Sergei's mamma will move into Sergei's new home? Hope so. Anyway, I was always taught to boo and hiss the villain, and Loxley wins the prize for meanest boy on the playground.
Where is Lady Mae? I miss her. Loxley was a jerk who threw her to the floor. I finally started to like her personality and her interest in the store, but then Loxley went all ape-you-know-what on Mae and I really felt sorry for her. Did she throw Loxley in the pokey? Loxley could always bribe the warden to let him out.
Jane Webb is jumping in to rescue Harry from his financial acting-out, it looks like. Maybe she will bail him out with a ton of new British pounds; the bid was for way more than the bank was willing to loan Harry. Harry looks at Jane with puppy eyes because she reminds him of Rose in many ways. Spoilers say Harry gets much cozier with Jane as episodes continue. Are there wedding bells for Harry and Jane in the near future? I have not read enough of the real Harry's biography yet to find out, at least in the real life version of Harry Selfridge.
I like the famous real life people in this show. Louis Bleriot (famous aviator from my OSU Aviation History course), Sergei de Bolotoff (a real cad in this show), Anna Pavlova, famous Russian ballerina, Madame Jeanne-Marie de Lanvin, famous fashion designer and parfumier.
There were other stars of Harry's early shows, like Ellen Love (was she from real-life?). She was the cheesecake posing with Bleriot's famous airplane. Harry's real-life biography says he actually used Bleriot and his airplane inside the store, in order to draw huge publicity and ensuing buying crowds.
Too bad about Kitty. The actress should submit this scene for her Emmy reel (does this network qualify? I am not sure). I thought that Henri and Agnes would also get beaten up, but the suspense built and finally the bums/disgruntled war veterans beat up the loveliest of the two women (sorry, Agnes, I think you are very pretty, but Kitty is quite fashionable and wears the latest bring-out-your-beauty/lipstick-looked-like-a-tart makeup).
Henri, what's wrong with you? I know. PTSD/battle flashbacks. Plus, you are now an alcoholic and workaholic. You are quickly alienating the affections of your wife. Plus, Harry should bill you for all the broken decorations in the store window. See a shrink and get rid of all your angst.
Miss Mardle, too bad you had to lose Florian. I must have missed this, or it was offscreen between seasons. Also same for wedding of Frank and Kitty. I did the wedding of Sergei and Rosalie. SMH did I even see the quickie wedding of Henri and Agnes? It seems like Harry gave them time off to go to France (this doesn't sound right) for their honeymoon.
Miss Mardle, how can you stand there and make nice with your old boyfriend's wife who has now had five children with him? You shagged him for years, with no children to show for it. Florian was a welcome respite, and a real cutie. You need a new life, now.
Harry, get rid of the bums around the store. Kitty should have had an escort. The women should not be walking around unescorted. Besides, the bums blame the women for taking their old jobs. Also, Harry, wait until your fired delivery women start picketing the store to make you give all their old jobs back.
