“Steed, have you been having hallucinations?”
There has to be a story behind this somewhere. She’s asking Steed if he’s having hallucinations as though it’s a come-on, or at least some sort of sexy inside joke they have. I want the story.
And I dare them to have their faces closer.
I think she’s reminding him that she’s not an hallucination. Pretty positive he leans towards her at the end of this scene, just before the cut.
This whole episode seems to be about them coming to terms with reality , ending with her departure. She has to go, but what they have is real and they remind each other of that at every turn. It’s like they know it’s all about to end.
OR: we can decide that Peel is an hallucination, that she never leaves, and that Tara is a bad dream. Let’s go with that.
…Both of those options depress me.
In the first one, Emma is real but she leaves. In the second, Emma stays, but only because she is a figment of Steed’s, apparently delusional, mind. Sounds like a lose-lose to me.
I propose a third option: She’s reminding Steed that she’s real, and not leaving. Because at this point they do not yet know of her departure. Which never happens anyway. It isn’t real.
I meant that it’s Peter who’s the hallucination - which actually has some credence, because it’s all from Steed’s perspective and he’s the one who sees not Peter, but a man who looks exactly like Steed driving off with Emma.
She comes back. Whatever happens, she comes back. That’s all.
OH! In that case, yes. Peel is a hallucination. Or a bad dream. Then Steed awakens upset, think Emma has left him, but then she’s right next to him in bed. She assures him she’ll never leave, and all is right with the world.
We’re over-thinking this scene. My interpretation is that since Emma’s short-term memory has been affected by the drug, she has no recollection of any current trouble lurking so now she can relax and enjoy some sex with Steed, hence the blatant body language.
Unfortunately, the censors are cruel enough to hide this from us. 8(
I think since Steed realizes that she’s been drugged, he politely and subtly refuses her advances. Because he’s too much of a gentleman to do anything that might be taking advantage of her. Also because he’s worried.
Let me have my fantasy ;)
I’m a fan of fantasies. ;)
