I love that when Phryne is getting dressed specifically to go hunting for a ghost/murderer in a graveyard at midnight, she still wears something covered in spangles.

It was interesting seeing Jack's reaction to finding out that Phryne had slept with Warwick. I think this is the first time since his divorce became official/public that he's seen her with someone, and he did seem to be more jealous than previously.

I just don’t buy Aunt Prudence as a believer in spiritualism. I appreciate that Margolyes put in a good effort, but it just doesn’t seem to fit the character to me. She’s a bit silly about some things, but she’s never struck me as particularly faddish or credulous. I think the writers took the most believable tack they could with the character in her loyalty being the point that drew her in, but it still didn’t work for me.
