'Beecham House': Episode 5 Recap
In the penultimate episode of Beecham House, it’s more obvious than ever that someone somewhere expected this series to get another season. Because with just one more episode to go after this one, the show is busily expanding stories rather than wrapping them up, and it feels all the more frustrating because it’s so clear we’ll never see them all concluded satisfactorily.
On top of that, this hour is a fairly ridiculous mess, as John is arrested for the theft of the rare royal diamond the prince told him to sell last week. Despite the fact that Daniel and Chanchal slept together roughly 26 hours ago, her surprise pregnancy has already leveled up into violent morning sickness and vomiting into a series of random household receptacles. Hot Soldier Played by Gregory Fitoussi is secretly sleeping with the Empress. And poor Margaret Osborne remains the only character on this show with any sense, responding to John’s wild tale of murder and maharajahs by immediately leaving town.
Zero people are probably surprised that Chanchal is pregnant because every decision this series has made so far has been the most predictable one possible, but the idea that the entire household has already figured it out and is busily fighting over it is mildly ridiculous.
