I'm not a shipper, I may even be accurately termed an anti-shipper, but there is something in the frustrated longing of Jack Robinson that is my main motivation for continuing to watch this show. Hair jewelry and costumes aside, I really could care less who killed who for what, I just want to see if their relationship ever makes any progress.
And it's maddening.

I let out a literal shriek of agonized frustration when Aunt Prudence interrupted that almost-kiss. Is it possible to die of unresolved sexual tension?

Yep, yep. Half the time I notice I have no idea how the murder mystery all fits together. It's all sets, costumes, and Phryne & Jack for me. That's probably also why I'd missed that Jane went to Europe. I spent this entire season wondering if she just disappeared with no explanation.
This was the first episode where I felt like the investigation was a bit dumb. "The house is all locked up! I guess we're all safe!" and "Let's wander around separately in this mysterious tunnel the murderer is using to access the house!" No.

Agreed, this was a frustrating episode, both for maddening investigation choices and Phryne/Jack fizzling rather than smoldering. I also forgot entirely about poor Jane, glad I'm not alone!

The finale mystery seemed very Agatha Christie-ish. I think I found it pretty creepy, if convoluted, on the first run; I must admit to spacing out on it a bit in this re-watch. On the Jack/Phryne front, it was kind of anti-climactic to go from the smolder of "Let's Misbehave" to no-kiss under the mistletoe.
