History Recap / InspectorLynleyS04E04WordOfGod

* AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame: Among the fandom, this episode is "The One Where Lynley Shows Up At Barbara's Flat In The Middle Of The Night And Emotional Soul-Baring Ensues".

--> '''Havers''': ''[talking about the vellum]'' How did you know it was ancient Arabic?
--> '''Lynley''': Benefit of a liberal arts education.
--> '''Havers''': Which makes you an expert on everything.
--> '''Lynley''': Of course.

* IsThatWhatTheyAreCallingItNow: When Lynley tells Havers that he is going to have dinner with Christine Miller and "talk about work", Havers responds with this phrase.

* FriendshipMoment: The scene in Barbara's apartment is the mother of them all. She doesn't just offer him her sympathy; she ''listens'' to his troubles. That's something that neither Helen or his ReplacementLoveInterest Christine Miller think of doing.

* TheConfidant: Yet again, Havers steps up as this for Lynley. He cancels a date to turn up at her flat in the middle of the night to unload his overburdened chest, and it is painfully clear that he has absolutely nowhere else to go. Havers just gets him a brandy, listens to him vent, and gives the best advice and support she can. It's enough -- for now.

* LongingLook: Only an ambiguous one, but enough for a {{Squee}} When Havers recites the lines "There is no more you and I, only us," Lynley gives her a brief look, even though Havers doesn't notice. It doesn't help that the opening credits use this shot to make her look like a GaussianGirl who is ObliviousToLove -- or that the line in question is eerily applicable to the two's relationship with each other.

* BerserkButton: Hurting a pregnant woman will make Lynley ''mad'', as [[spoiler: Blackwell]] finds out at the end to his own detriment.

In the meantime, Lynley reaches a crisis in his personal life, and his foul mood gets in the way of his work. Havers does her best to keep him under control, but with mixed success. Will the investigation take too heavy a toll on Lynley?

* RageBreakingPoint: Seeing [[spoiler: Blackwell]] hurt a pregnant woman turns out to be the proverbial last straw for Lynley. It results in UnstoppableRage and severe consequences.

* WorthLivingFor: Lynley and Havers, for each other.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: "I'm sorry, Barbara," says Lynley to Havers, right before [[spoiler:he is arrested]].
