Ep. 89 Death of a Spy

"This war with the Greeks has been going on for ten long years! And frankly, we're very bored with being penned up here."

   This continues to be great.  Everything that worked in the last episode carried over into this one and we got to "see" the initial courtship of Vicki (Cressida) and Troilius. 
   That, of course, means that we will be soon saying goodbye to Vicki.  It's a shame, too.  There were some stretches where she wasn't that well used, but she was given a LOT more to work with than Susan and she really came into her own once she was paired opposite Steven.
   I'm not thrilled with the trend that started with Susan of the young female companion falling in love and staying behind to be with him.  On the other hand, I have to give credit to the writer and actors who made this infatuation believable. 
    Find this story on CD or the internet and listen to it.  It's worth it.
