And now we're back to the Alice and Thomas timeline for another visit to Alice's awkward college days. CW: Domestic violence, brief, and immediately squashed, but still present.
Alice is not enjoying her time in the halls of higher education.

In the 1950’s women were still often still essentially considered property, especially by someone with the kind of isolated upbringing Clark described. “Keeping you woman in line,” and “do not make me look/feel foolish” we’re perfectly common reasons to smack a date/wife. Alice was supposed to be cowed, and apologetic, making him feel powerful again. Did not work out for him.

This was glorious. Thank you. I miss Alice and Alexander Healy. Why did that twit hit her for spilling a drink? He's lucky she only knocked him out.

So, if Alice killed the lindworm and decided that there was no way that there were 2 of them, then why call grandad?
