Episode Recap
Taking Back Control: Dorothy, Natalie
With Dorothy going back to work, she feels that what Natalie once did for her, as a kinesiologist, is no longer needed. For now Dorothy thinks of herself as capable of self-healing. This perhaps is one of the factors leading to Natalie wanting to dig into the whole Jericho situation, alongside hearing about Leanne being hired.
A Dinner Party: Julian, Natalie, Sean, Leanne, Dorothy
Being that Dorothy wants to be liked and seen as friendly, she invites Natalie to dinner. Hoping that, ultimately, while no longer a client, they can be friends. But what complicates the proposed transition is Natalie making it clear Dorothy has to be confronted since she thinks Dorothy is still using that doll she gave her. This puts a bit of fear into Sean, and later Julian, for they aren’t sure how to convey the situation to Natalie, who happens to be one of their first calls when the original Jericho passed or whatever happened to him.
In fact, Natalie, when speaking to Leanne, who thought she was an intruder when they first met, almost reveals what happened the day Jericho died. However, Julian then pops up and ruins the reveal. Leaving us, ultimately, only knowing Julian remains haunted by what happened, and it has caused him multiple issues. The kind he, sarcastically, says should have led to him getting his own doll.
Sealed With a D**k: Julian, Natalie, Leanne
But, the issue remains of Natalie provoking Dorothy to recognize Jericho is dead, and so it seems Julian uses whatever latent feelings Natalie has for him to shut her up. However, while shutting up about Jericho is easy, shutting up about a dog she saw Julian bash in the head come back to life is a whole different thing.
Leaving you to wonder, will Leanne ever reveal her part in bringing things back to life?

Review
On The Fence
Still Being Strung Along & Now Wondering If The Line May Snap?
While the introduction of Natalie is welcomed, and further hints to what happened the day Jericho died, it is hard not to feel strung along and like we’re waiting for this big reveal that may never happen. For as much as you have to appreciate the hints and things of that nature, “Servant” continues to feel like a mini-series that is being dragged out. Especially due to it barely wanting to answer questions and more so presenting additional things you want to ask.
