Thackery suffering withdrawal symptoms with the cocaine shortage looked obvious with the sweats but drinking a lot was a good cover and Typhoid Mary's trial was interesting

1x09 The Golden Lotus

Thackery getting arrested for breaking into a pharmacy was an all time low but Lucy going to the extremes to get drugs for him was surprising and Cornelia being pregnant with Algernon's baby could open a whole new can of worms but asking him to do the abortion was cruel

1x10 Crutchfield

You just knew Barrow would get in deeper with his creditors but making it look like Thackery has the problem to call in a favour was devious and Cornelia getting rid of the baby to try and save her marriage was the only thing she could do but the blood-transfusion not working was tragic

2x01 Ten Knots

Dr. Gallinger was an arrogant ass refusing to return as Edwards subordinate and Bertie refusing a birthday present was just rude but Dr. Thackery's boat ride seemed to have done more good than his treatment before and the fact there was no escape was an added bonus

2x02 You're No Rose

You have to feel sorry for Lucy as it was obvious she loved John but with him not being addicted to heroin he obviously didn't feel the same and looks like that electric ambulance is more trouble than it's worth, the results of Cornelia enlisting Cleary to do a dirty job of digging out the grave was surprising and Algernon almost allowing John to operate on his eye could of been a disaster

2x03 The Best with the Best to Get the Best

Lucy rejecting Robertson's advances was understandable but what a way to learn that confession isn't always good for the soul and I suppose the other doctors being racist should of been predictable for the era, Barrow is taking the piss with his alterations to the new hospital and Edwards dealing with a surprise visit from his wife was amusing

2x04 Wonderful Surprises

Thackery needing to test out his novel syphilis treatment on Abby with her worsening condition was risky but wanting to hit Lucy's father after seeing the bruise on her face was amusing, the way the doctor died in the operating theatre was surprising

2x05 Whiplash

How they handled the aftermath of the subway explosion was impressive and Thackery using the phone to find shrapnel was awesome but Cleary being out of pocket was amusing as he thought he could make easy money, Lucy taking advice from one of Ping Wu's girls was interesting as she could do so much more than what she does and Thackery brain surgery looked barbaric

2x06 There Are Rules

Lucy using what she learnt sexually was great as he's is able to use it on Henry as a way to wrap him around her finger and Bertie deciding to take matters into his own hands over his mothers throat cancer was to much of a risk but killing her was sad, Thackery taking an interest in the pair of conjoined twins was nice but being in a freak show was predictable

2x07 Williams and Walker

I was hopping everything would be OK with Thackery attempting to separate Zoya and Nika in front of a packed audience and Lucy attending the gala charity ball was predictable but her paying for her own dress when she has Henry in the palm of her hand was surprising

2x08 Not Well at All

Barrow's troubled marriage coming to a head thanks to the phone call was karma and Cornelia presenting evidence of the company's wrongdoing to Henry was interesting as her father could be responsible for the outbreak, Thackery about to perform plastic surgery on Abby was expected but what happened was a shock
