You Ruined A Good Day – Leanne
With Dorothy’s return imminent, Leanne wanted everything to be nice. She was baking Dorothy’s favorite cake and getting flowers out of the car, but then she was attacked. This attack lasted long enough for the cake to be burnt, and Leanne had to use the vase the flowers were in to buy some time. But surviving this attack was a reminder that, even without her friends camped in the park, who failed her when she needed them, she’ll survive.
Welcome Home – Leanne, Dorothy, Sean, Julian
Dorothy’s return home is without fanfare. She is in a sullen mood and refuses to greet Leanne and Sean? He wants to keep the peace, so he keeps Leanne from Dorothy. As for Julian? Nothing has changed. He is annoyed by everything, drinking, and doesn’t seem to have the capacity for the cold war Dorothy is hellbent on raging.

Feeling Like We Don’t Have To Wait Till The End Of The Season For Something Notable To Happen
For most of the seasons “Servant” has presented thus far, it has all been about building up to the finale when Leanne gets attacked, something happens to Jericho, or, in the case of the last season, something happening to Dorothy. But, with Leanne attacked in the first episode, it seems the long put-off war to get her to come home has finally arrived, and the final season may compensate for the inconsistent quality of past seasons.
