Short Synopsis: A Jean-episode. Will he really be able to give Cosette happiness with Javert after his head?
Good: The second half was as touching as usual.
Bad: The first half was rather quiet.
Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10
This episode was really meant to develop Jean some more. While Javert is searching all the roads leading to Paris, he and Cosette have taken a detour to a small city with a huge church, from which he plan to go to Paris. And this is the point where he starts to have his doubts. He’s got the police after him, so he’ll have to continue to hide for a long while. That’s not exactly the safest assurance of Cosette’s happiness, now is it? The first part of the episode mainly builds up for this.
Then the second, and far more enjoyable half comes, and shows that Jean may be worrying a bit too much, as he loses sight of Cosette when he desperately tries to find a guy from Montreil-sur-Mer, who can take care of her. That results in some very touching scenes, by the way. Cosette was so sad (I loved how she took off her shoes after so much walking). The policeman was also quite interesting, right before he reveal why he’s been following Cosette, I realized it as well. He never realized Jean was a fugitive, so Jean’s worries weren’t necessary. But then again, the possibility of the policeman recognizing him also exists. I’ll be looking forward to seeing how he’s going to solve this.]]>
