I think this episode highlights how ignorant some people can be towards anyone who is "different" to them. And how those people can hold their own and refuse to be brought down by the likes of Cathy.
This episode also gives Doon Mackichan yet another chance to show off her immense range. Cathy has been on a downward spiral since the show started and at this point it is beyond obvious that she is a horribly jealous nasty alcoholic with a lot of issues. The writers (and Doon) have done a great job with Cathy who is actually a very dark, complex character once you get underneath the nasty comments and constant bragging. It was very satisfying to see Cathy get what was coming to her in this episode!
All the cast in Two Doors Down are excellent. Every character fully developed, believable, funny, engaging and played with gusto.
Hopefully there are more episodes on the horizon. It would be nice to see Christine's daughter back for an episode or two and a visit from Jaz would be most welcome. Beth's sister and eldest son from the pilot have never been mentioned or seen again and they could shake things up a bit too.
I can't wait to see the episode where Beth finally snaps and just loses it. It is bound to happen and is long overdue. The writers need to make that happen.
Oh, and will we ever get to meet "Pat from over the back"?! She's an invisible icon!
