Do not fret my fellow Siegfried x Audrey fans out there. If anything, the episode proved that Siegfried had forgotten other women even existed ever since he realised things were serious between Audrey and Gerald. These two things coincided, let's not forget. It also proves that he hates for his reputation as being habile with the ladies to be questioned or for Tristan to have one over him so he has to overcompensate. And lastly it made a point of showing us what really matters to him at the end. Not the book and therefore the potential romance with this woman, but the nurturance and care for his family. Hence why he dropped the damned thing and instead chose to go to the pub. Look at her face of disapproval when Siegfried first declined to go for a pint.
It's also very deliberate on the writers' part to have Audrey ask about said book, only for him to instantly dismiss it as a tedious read.
To me, it's obvious that it was about showing what a true pair bond looks like. Showing Audrey dutifully listening to Siegfried's concerns, offering advice which he immediately finds enlightening and useful? And both of them listening in on Richard's conversation over the phone with matching looks of fondness on their face? What was it that Carmody said? Ah yes:
"Humans generally thrive in pair bonds".
It is not as overt as what we are used to seeing certainly, but that's what makes this show so delicious. It's all in the little things. The nuances and the unsaid which define human relationships. It's closer to life. In fact, Siegfried phrased it perfectly to Carmody:
"There is a pace at which these things are done. A subtlety."
Also, an episode called Pair Bond and this is how these two are framed in the shot?? HELLO!!
I think the context is also important to remember. She's his employee. It would have been considered outrageously scandalous within the local community, I assume, for a gentleman and his housekeeper to have a romantic relationship. I think Siegfried knows precisely what gem he has under his roof, and also that the last thing he wants is to bring shame and potential ruin on such a pious, saintly woman. He won't allow himself to go there.
It will take something even more Earth-shattering than her potential departure for him to finally acknowledge that he fancies the pants off of her. With the implicit fallout that he will inevitably have to face. I can't wait.
how many times siegfried needs to show audrey that he loves her

HE S CRYING WITH HERR
"... everybody deals with possible grief in their own way, and Siegfried has to try and be a shoulder to cry on if it's needed, and a hand to hold if one would help." Sam West
Can we talk about how Siegfried, who is a profoundly emotional being, became a beacon of steadfastness, a quiet presence ready to serve, keeping vigilent, swallowing his own fear so he could be there for her?
How he knew too much about war to offer hollow niceties and false hopes that would strike her down if proven untrue but braced himself to become the unfaltering force that would keep her upright if it came to it?
How he was grateful to Tristan for being the counterpoint to that and staying optimistic because he also knew it was what she needed?
How he crumbled with her when the coast was clear, therefore revealing how much he was affected all along because his own sense of self has long merged with her and if she falls he will hold her up but will be doing so on his knees because her pain is his pain?
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT?
love them 😭
EPISODES
eliza scarlet and patrick nash
Oh Lord.
Where to start?
Audrey clams up around everyone else, but directs her frustrations at Siegfried because he's the one she's closest to?
Siegfried saves the fox against his better judgement because that's what Audrey needed from him?? (Also continues the excellent theme of Siegfried saying no to her, and then doing it anyway. See James and Dash ...)
Siegfried listened without judgement or assumption when she was ready to open up???
She slept on the sofa while Siegfried looked after the fox her. The blanket tuck? I will never recover.
Extremely emotional Siegfried when they finally hear from Edward? He was living Audrey's turmoil and relief with her.
That awkward distance between them when the others immediately embrace Audrey on the stairs, but he hangs back???
That awkward pat on the arm when she's hugging Helen???? He's unsure of his place.
We may not have got to hear him say Audrey or give her a hug or even a hand hold. But what did get was delicious.
Besides this wasn't their episode. This was all about the remarkable Mrs Hall.
I don't agree with the last sentence. The rest is in point 🤣

thank you to maris, mel, and daphne for collectively putting niles crane through just the most harrowing romantic experiences. never has that man looked finer than when he's absolutely emotionally devastated.
Undoubtedly the best performance came from Anton Walbrook. Emeric had written the part of Lermontov, the autocratic impresario, with him in mind. He had a repressed, pent-up energy about him that was perfect for the part. Emeric thought that Lermontov was one of the best characters he ever created, but he was too readily accused of basing him on the tyrannical impresario par excellence, Sergei Diaghilev. Emeric denied the charge: ‘There is something of Diaghilev, something of Alex Korda, something of Michael and quite a bit of me’.

Is there any emotional impact when you hear Clara’s theme?
Something romantic….
Isn't there something morbid in burying one's heart with the dead?That's a strange thing for you to say. Your capacity for loving, your joy in living, is buried in a little space of time you've forgotten. In some vague way, I still have......hope? Yes, I suppose that's it. Have you, Charles? Do you feel that there... really is someone? That someday you may find her? You may have... come so near her, may even have brushed her on the street... You might even have met her, Charles. Met her and not known her. It might be someone you know, Charles. It might... it might even be me.

“I’m a police officer. I’m a police officer, and I want a cup of tea.”
A haunted look crosses his face. A memory impacting, sickeningly. He’s thinking about Clara’s death.
