Yes! The first contact has been made! In the second half of this episode, Marius and Cosette finally managed to meet again, and they actually talked to each other! Let the romance finally begin! *ahem* Now that that’s out, I obviously liked this episode because of that scene. Eponine has now officially lost, and I can’t wait for her reaction when she finds out. The rest of the episode spent its time building up; both for this, and the general plot as well. Les Amis return again, helping Marius overcome his worries, and they propose to write a love letter to Cosette. Another pair that returns is Shushu and Gavroche. Cosette actualy sees Shushu at one point, though fails to recognize it. At least she did get a déja-vu feeling. Jean, meanwhile, digs up the last bits of his money, with the intention of using it to pay for Cosette’s university, so that she can keep learning. He’s also scared by a random chimney, mistaking it for Javert’s head. ^^; Eponine, meanwhile, is getting worse. That idiot of a Montparnasse keeps bugging her into helping him, and now he’s starting to offer bread, a tempting option to someone who’ll probably never find a job again. Especially since her only other alternative would be Cosette. Things are promising to become even worse for her, seeing as the end of the episode features one of Thenardier’s henchmen escaping from prison. She’ll be in really deep troubles if she’s still seeing Montparnasse when Thenardier himself escapes, because he can, and something tells me that he will force her to become involved in his shady businesses!]]>
So he’s really running out of money? Weird; in the book she and Marius inherit about half a million from him. And university? For a girl in the 1820s/1830s? Not that likely.
Well, the amount of money he pulls out is a rather large pack of 1000 Franc bills, and I wonder why else he’d dig up such a thing. I may also have misunderstood the university-part, but it seemed that he wanted Cosette to study somewhere.
Looks like Gavroche’s brothers next episode. The boys in the preview looked like fellow Thénardiers, whom I consider a race of their own.
And Thénardier in the preview continues to be hot, maybe even hotter.
This episode….where do I begin? Awesome, big time. Montparnasse is an arse, for one, to Emonine (intentional). And the scene where Marius and Cosette found out each others’ names was awesome!
And, the paintings of the sky are awesome. Just a random thought…
