Loved the scenes with Nicole and Father Eric today. Greg plays the part so well, I wonder what he did to prepare for the role. I’m not Catholic, but to me he seems like everything a priest should be sans the sex dream junk thrown in by the writers.
Ari played it where seemed like Nicole was a bit tentative and then just went all in to act as a substitute sister/comforter to the patient. I was happy to see that she came to the realization that Eric is where he should be and made the right decision in joining the priesthood. As much as I would be thrilled for Nicole to find true love, I don’t think it should be Eric.
I believe she finally accepts the fact that Eric embodies everything his vocation perceives him to be, and she even called him “Father.” I, too, would love to see Nicole find love, but not with Eric. However, that being said, if anything drives him away from the priesthood, it will be when or I should say if his memory fully returns and he decides that the shame of taking advantage of the forbidden fruit, albeit not through his own fault since he was the one taken advantage of, not the other way around, I do think he will feel that somehow he betrayed the God he so devoutly loves and cherishes, and will feel compelled to leave his calling. I hope I’m wrong, but then, and only then, will he feel free to move on with his life.
The scenes with the dying woman were more filler for me than anything else, and I wasn’t quite sure if Nicole stayed because of the woman or because of Eric, but either way it was a kind gesture on her part.
was to show Nicole beginning to appreciate just what Eric’s calling entails and to understand his dedication to it. And you could tell she is starting to appreciate just how he feels about all of this and how hard he’s trying to live up to his calling and convictions.
I thought the pub scene was very powerful. The hospital scene was only to lead up to their heart-to-heart. And I loved how Eric was holding her hand. We’ve never seen them have any bodily contact before and it showed just how much he cherishes her friendship.
