This is really good stuff R.R. The characterizations are truer to the characters than the "real thing" if that's not getting too layered. I've liked the twists and turns, and their pacing. As a bit of an aside, because it's in the last episode, I'd really like to have been a fly on the wall when Ruby reveals her plan to Irene, just to get Irene's reaction, not because I want a spoiler for the next episode . Speaking of which, it's my New Year's resolution not to feel guilty when I can't stop myself reading spoilers.
Merry Christmas and All the Best.
