Findings

Bomb Girls night again -- last week was all about people finding things.

  • Marco found his dad had developed Fascist tendencies during his internment (which will now probably last for the duration, what with old Mr. Moretti throwing his arm up and yelling "Viva Il Duce!" in front of the guards).
  • Kate found a bottle of booze in the desk in the warehouse.
  • Betty found God. (But I hope Leon's not turning into a Magical Negro.)
  • Lorna found that, as she told Mr. Aikins, "Witham and Moretti both booked off without permission." Also, nobody liked her "life skills seminar" (did they even use those words back then?) on how to grind up beef tongue into your meatloaf and pass it off as sirloin.
  • Vera found that there were soldiers even she wouldn't want to go with. Or, at least, that she'd feel sorry she'd gone with.
  • Bob found a new career as an entrepreneur.
  • One of Bob and Lorna's sons found his way home on a war bond tour.
  • I found out why Gladys went with Marco and his mama to the internment camp: They needed her to drive them.
Now -- who was that "some guy" who interrogated Marco all night, then let him go after getting a phone call? Anyone we'd recognize? Not Gladys' fiancé, he's American -- maybe her other fiancé?
