[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great episode.  Each story line took place in a confined, airless, claustrophobic space (locked room, elevator, tiny apartment) which gradually heightened the tension until the end when windows were opened and wind and rain were let in.  It felt like a relief.

Nicole Kidman's character seemed at the beginning to have some redeeming qualities.  She had at least learned a few phrases to do her errands and [b]chided one of her friends over the way the talked about the "helpers."  [/b]But it's obvious now that she's entitled and horrible.  Essie must be grieving as much as she is, given that she's the one who was mothering that little boy.

She criticized another woman for how she spoke to their helper, but then said Essie was "family." It was sanctimonious and false-- these women are being paid to wait in them. And it was obvious Margaret resented how much Gus loved Essie, which is why she was auditioning Mercy as a sitter and took the kids out without Essie.

Margaret was always ruled by her emotions and lacked sensible boundaries with Essie and Mercy, even before Gus was taken. Her distress since he went missing us totally understandable, but some of the underlying problems with her behavior were there before it happened.[/quote]
