He asks her to read the paper and it turns out to be his obituary. However, this act. Joan of Arcadia is a drama that follows a typical family facing atypical situations, not the least of which is their teenage daughters conversations with God. Watch Joan Of Arcadia Season 1 Episode 6The kindly detective is of the opinion that. Possible culprits abound. Political activist Cuthbert Mukamba Charles Babalola is protesting against Richardsons possible involvement in importing prohibited Rhodesian goods, giving him a plausible motive for transforming peaceful protest into terrorism. Store manager Ivor Maddox Chris Larkin has a difficult history with his employer. His grandfather was a co owner of the firm, which was founded on staunch Quaker principles, until his pacifist beliefs conflicted with his partners decision to supply the army with provisions during WWI. It soon emerges that Richardsons has been the target of a blackmailer for some time. Its owner was content to dismiss the letters as the work of a crank, but the kidnap of his daughter Verity Gala Gordon proves that those responsible mean business. When the kidnapper calls to demand. As one familiar face departs, a new character is introduced. Jakes life has been transformed by a whirlwind romance with an American student and an unplanned pregnancy. Much to his own surprise, Jakes is delighted to be settling down, though it wont be in Oxford. He and his bride to be are moving across the Atlantic to live in her home state of Wyoming. Morse has forged a strong friendship with his former rival since the revelation of Jakes horrendous years at the Blenheim Vale boys home, and is saddened to be losing a colleague whose acerbic wit kept him on his toes. New recruit WPC Shirley Trewlove Dakota Blue Richards looks set to be a fine addition to Thursdays team, however. Morse is impressed by her powers of observation, while she appears to have been rather taken by him. The young detective is a popular man this week, in fact, as he struggles to resist temptation in the shape of the glamorous and persistent Annette Richardson. Joan Thursday Sara Vickers is also still hoping that Morse will take a hint, as is the audience, despite our knowledge that a happy home life is destined always to be beyond poor Endeavours grasp. After the literary allusions and complicated twists of last weeks episode, Arcadia is a return to the suburban drama more typical of Endeavour. Lovers of retro trappings will be entranced by Richardsons, with its pastel colours and Green Shield stamps, while those with a long term investment in Morses world will savour some lovely character moments. Jakes was a prickly presence in earlier series, but his relationship with Morse has softened into something rather touching in recent episodes, and their final farewell gives both Jack Laskey and Shaun Evans a chance to shine. Another highlight is Morses brief discussion of his late mother, herself a devout Quaker, with Maddoxs wife Prudence Joanna Roth, which sheds a little more light upon his sad past. Abigail Thaw makes a welcome appearance as Morses old pal in the press, Dorothea Frazil, who has helpful information regarding the history of the beleaguered store. New character dynamics look set to provide interesting developments as this series continues. WPC Trewlove is a bright and likeable addition to the group, while her arrival seems to herald a new era for Chief Superintendent Bright, whos mellowed considerably in this series. By contrast, DI Thursday has become rather withdrawn. Despite his insistence to Morse that hed been comfortable with returning to the force after the horrifying events at the end of series two, were left to wonder whether his brush with death has left deeper scars than hes willing to admit. The theme of past trauma haunting those who have lived through it has loomed large so far this season, and it doesnt appear to be going anywhere fast.
