Rachel and Heidi broke me with this episode. Brilliantly twisted, this episode brought out so many emotions. The authors drew me in so well, by the end I could feel the despair and hopelessness in the pit of my stomach.That evil puppet master Nikolai has come up with a horrifyingly brilliant plan to ensure the bonds between Mat and Dougie are broken and it hinges on him finally convincing Mat to let go for Dougie's own good. Just when I think there can't be anything worse in store for these two, the authors prove just how wrong I am. It is a testament of Mat's love for Dougie that he goes along with Nikolai's plan and sees it through to the end.
At this point I don't know how the authors can bring these boys back, but I'm compelled to read on.
