Saint, I wondered about Rachel Cutler too, i hope we find out next week.
And pure speculation, wouldn't it be a shock if there was an ole switcheroo in place for the season finale, Hal goes over to the dark side and Cutler steps into the light (or on the good side)....that would make things interesting for the fifth season (and there is me being super confident that the show WILL get a fifth season and not IF)

and trust me on that one, I would break my ole fan heart to see Hal going to the dark side but I see the logic in it; Hal is a time bomb waiting to explode
Culer becoming the nice vampire? doing a Mitchell: I choose them over the Old Ones; this team a very young- young for vampire- one; less knowledgable about the rules, but able because he is 'modern' to connect with our times
yet Cutler has the ambition, not the gravitas and despair of what we call 'good vampires'... hoping you are wrong, I want to keep my good Hal

Love these little insights and also love DM's real accent, shame he couldn't just be Irish as Hal (it wouldn't work nearly as well and clearly not an option after Mitchell but I love that accent!)
Watching that clip has just made me realise why I love the character of Hal so much, he actually really epitomises everything that I love about BH in general. He has a very dark side, a lot of personal demons and struggle, every minute it seems it could all go wrong with the most terrible consequences imaginable but at the same time he's hilariously funny and his way of dealing with everyday things is just so hilarious and cute you can't help but fall in love with him!

@Ruby, I've been thinking the same thing all morning - Hal and Cutler are going to swap sides in Series 5.
There will of course be a Series 5, either that or the Ö÷²¥´óÐã will have to deal with a lot of angry pitchfork and burning torch wielding fans.

If many of us are right about their past though I'm not sure Cutler would want to be on the opposite side to Hal, I reckon he might be pretty keen to impress him, if Hal went bad he'd probably love to join in!
I've been thinking the same about Annie, it just seems to be building up to something big for her, and she hasn't developed real friendship with Tom and Hal the way they have with each other.. All her time is devoted to Eve and while she likes having them around it seems she's still missing the others too much to really be ready to move on.. Wouldn't surprise me at all if she found her door at the end of this series :( If the baby has to go, it's possible she'll have to do that to save FW/Eve who could then become the new ghost.. apologies if others have speculated this already on here, I've been having trouble keeping up!

I'm know a lot of people on here have been looking forward to he Hal/Cutler meeting. I think we all just KNEW there was a bit of back story there! When H and A visited that journalists hotel room I was sure cutler would still be there.

So it looks like Hal falls off the wagon next week...well not completely off (as we don't actually see him physically killing someone) but he drinks a glass of blood and is being dragged along behind the wagon as he clings on with his fingertips!

I think you're thinking along the right lines....I can't help feeling that since FW now officially Eve has now contacted Annie, she will inevitably ask her to kill her baby self......and since Emrys told her that her "unfinished business " might not be a "good thing" she might be tempted. Because killing a baby obviously isn't a good thing but FWNOE would convince her it was for the "greater good". Even is this would cause more harm than good. I'm with you on the Baby's needing to die not being as simple as FW seems to think.

I've been really worried about Annie too, but for a different reason. She's changing. Back to Series 1 she'd have never dreamt of killing someone, she hadn't even been in a fight until one of the later S1 episodes. Now she can quite easily kill, and even wants to kill again which she admitted on Ep5. We know she's aware that it changes you from what she said to Tom in Ep6. I'm just worried we're losing Annie...she could be building up to something she does in the last episode of S4.
The theory of her passing over with baby Eve is indeed an interesting (if not scary) one as well.

First off, I LOVED this episode I am officially christening it my favourite of the series! The perfect balance of comedy and tragedy, and great great show for all -Hal, Annie and Tom(cus let's be honest it was kind of his episode)
I'm not going to try pick/list a favourite moment or it'll take you about 56minutes to read, but the line "Why have you put me in a cupboard?" absolutely broke me in half with laughter!
Never have I been more excited after seeing the "next time" trailer, quite concerned still for Alex's future, because I really liked her, really witty :D I actually think Hal did quite well to walk away from her, she was dangerously close to that dream woman, the willing victim "I won't even look you in the eye".
And I agree with the points ya'll have been making about Annie's journey maybe winding down :C I know it's too late because it's already been written and filmed but PLEASE LORD TOBY KEEP ANNIE A LITTLE LONGER! At least for some of the series 5 we *WILL* be getting :P
And is anybody else hoping that FW/Eve will mention Hal and Tom in the next episode? She called Annie "mum" I will dance the charleston if she calls Hal "dad" :D

@jimjam
the purpose of the Emrys story is to remind Annie that killing somebody beside being addictive is in fact a very sad event. Most people do not do it on purpose, IT IS MORE ACCIDENTAL IN OUR SOCIETIES, yet one feels resp0onsible as one does and certainly not addicted or elated. I see Emrys as a sober reminder to keep our Annie the nice person she is. one has the right to play with matches; matches may burn your fingers and better a blister on one's finger than becoming an arsonist.

completely unrelated - does anyone know the name of the song that was playing at the end when Tom and Allison are saying goodbye?It were well good.

For example my flatmate is french and she just didn't get it...apparently it's almost unheard of in France. Obviously it's not just in Scotland that it happens but everyone here is pretty religious about it. You don't just say "thanks", it's "thanks Driver" Haha. I go one step further when he/she is a tw*t, I don't ignore them....I do like saying it in a rather pointed and sarcastic way!

It's especially annoying because I live near a University campus, so naturally most of the buses go there, and I sometimes go onto the campus in order to catch a bus. And the drivers refuse to believe I stil qualify for a child ticket, coz they assume I'm a student :( very annoying

when it comes to buses, i remind you of a bus controller for Hogwarts school looking uncannily like Edgar Wyndham; one of his descendants probably

His upbringing would mean that he might struggle and be a little behind when it came to that. It's a fine line though, as Tom certainly isn't stupid, his difficulty roots from his nurture not his nature. I think they have handled this very well in that sense.

We have really long buses here, with at least three, sometimes four doors, so you're not even allowed to leave through the door at the front, it's just for people getting on the bus.
The only time we ever say thank you is when the bus driver nicely opens up the front door to let you out when you're sitting right in the front and can't be bothered to walk to one of the other doors to get off. *lol*

Hal and Cutler switching, interesting theory but I can't see it happening. Think Cutlers going to suck up to Hal and try to impress him.
FW clothes, it's obvious isn't it? She's a woman, you would want to look your best.
Always thank bus drivers, only once haven't thanked and that was cause he didn't believe I was 15, I wasn't but still thats not the point!

What did everyone think of the Character Alex?
I loved Kate Bracken's performance, but was Alex really that desperate that she came back to the cafe after being humiliated the first time?

It makes the character even more likeable. He's a cold blooded killer of vampires but we feel more empathy towards him than most.
It's funny, I was thinking you hardly hear that many Welsh accents in the show.Then up pops a Scottish girl. It was good to hear Kate Bracken keep her accent, i half expected her to sound English.
Not that there's anything wrong with English accents. I think Hal's posh accent is brilliant!

It might sounds ok to a non Scot, but it will almost certainly render something too painful to watch as a Scot if you have someone doing an accent. Isla Fisher (even though she is technically Scottish) in Burke and Hare and Catherine Zeta Jones in that rubbish about Harry Houdini are two good examples! Doesn't seem to be quite so true for male characters. Johnny Lee Miller's Sick Boy being an example.
