    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Margot (Summer Bishil) is talking with Eliza (Esmé Bianco) she mentions that there is "some kind of timey-wimey magic going on here". This is a reference to phrase the tenth Doctor (David Tennant), on the BBC show Doctor Who (2005), used to describe time in the 10th episode of the 3rd series Blink (2007), "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually - from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint- its more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey... stuff".

      Rabbit: At castle. Getting married.

      Eliot Waugh: Well, hello, there, little plot development.

      Rabbit: At castle. Getting married.

      Eliot Waugh: Does that sound like Margo to you?

      Quentin Coldwater: Uh...

      Rabbit: Need help now, dickwads.

      Eliot Waugh: Definitely Bambi.

    A must watch episode.
    It is always a wonder to me how much story can be told with almost no dialogue. A truly well written episode.
