Synopsis of The Greater Good S1E2
Relationships:
Lucien/Cec: have known each other since Lucien was five, Lucien is obviously fond of Cec and vice versa
Mattie/Danny: “sibling” sparring
Lucien/Alderton: old Army buddies that survived Japanese POW camp for 3.5 years HOWEVER seem to have taken different paths now
Lucien/Jean: Lucien is grumpy and insensitive at the beginning of the episode; Jean is cheeky and not afraid of speaking her mind but hurt by Lucien’s seeming disregard for her value as a housekeeper. HOWEVER, by the end of the episode he realizes that he needs/wants Jean’s presence in his life.
Regular/recurring characters introduced:
Bill Hobart, Derek Alderton, Sgt. Robert Hannam
New information in this episode:
Lucien’s wife and child have been missing since the fall of Singapore
Lucien’s daughter would now be 23 years old
Christopher Beazley died in the Solomons
Derek Alderton is devious and slimy
Fierce Jean is SOMETHING ELSE: “borrowing” evidence and then waving that gun at Hannam
Issues addressed:
Lucien’s drinking–Matthew addresses this with Lucien
Police brutality–Lucien addresses this with Matthew and Danny
Comparison between Lucien and his father–Jean in first episode and Matthew in this episode
Favorite scenes:
1. Lucien’s gentleness with the soldier with radiation poisoning
2. The bedroom conversation where Lucien stumbles and stutters (the man so sure of himself everywhere else) and finally manages to get across the point that he would like Jean to stay on.
3. Jean waving the gun and saving Lucien’s life
4. The hallway scene as Jean gets ready to march in the Anzac Day parade–Lucien chokes up and admits he is rather glad that Jean is not leaving and she responds sweetly.
(Feel free to correct any incorrect memories of the episode!!)
Questions for the TDBM fandom:
Did Alderton know that Mei Lin is still alive at this point? Or is this when he hatched his plan to find her and use her to trap Lucien?
Especially for @bkwormkate and @mandalamarigold

I find myself fascinated by the moments** before a romantic moment. In fact they are often my favorite cap over the actual event. These split seconds capture so much potential energy, so much unspoken passion, anything might happen next.
**I know the last cap is from a goofy outtake but it’s a perfect example. He drops his bags at her feet, he looks up, their eyes meet, and then…

The sexiest I’ve seen Jean.
The most clueless I’ve seen Lucien.
These two, I swear.

Thinking about how when Lucien and Jean run into Alice at the hospital after Matthew's accident Alice immediately greets Jean by name. But I'm pretty sure that's the first time they've ever been on screen together. So. There's just a whole world of "Alice and Jean getting to know each other" out there and I want it. I want introductions and maybe awkward dinners when Alice drops round (tho I'm not sure she ever did pre Mei Lin, her delight at being asked and immediate arrival at the house make the invitation seem like a novelty). Jean brings food to the boys when they've been working long hours; maybe she starts bringing a sandwich for Alice, too. And then!!! What the FUCK happened while Alice and Jean and Mei Lin were alone in the kitchen before Lucien got home?? There's just...so much...and I want it....
