  1. I don't think Brett letting Eva go easily. He fought for her. Even after the brawl he went said on his interview that he just reconnected with her.from snippet 10 it shows he thinks he's got q chance. with good reason because Eva and Gideon are still publicly "broken up". So Brett will be a problem for Eva and Gideon.

  2. Just read just page 320 RIY

    '' They came out to the house-the shrink and the doctoral candidate she was supervising. It started out all right. They both were nice, attractive, patient. But soon the shrink was spending most of the time counselling my mother, who was having a difficult pregnancy in addition to two young boys who were out of control. I was left alone with him more and more frequently.''

     

    Gideon doesn't really say who, he keeps referring to the person as ''HIM''. My guess is Vidal.

  3. i haven't seen this discussed, yet (maybe i overlooked - apologies if that is the case), but i'm of the mind that gideon's prefernce for brunettes is not because of corinne, but because of his mother.  i'm sure freud would agree?  she denied him what he needed from a mother, and he's subconsciously seeking it from her in his affairs. 

     

    it's also crossed my mind that eva was right in the begining, that his mother did love him "too much", and that ireland might possibly be his daughter.  the math with the ages, and his statements thus far, do not support that theory, but he's been so cryptic it's hard to say anything is impossible. 

     

    the truth is that eva draws conclusions based on the crumbs of information gideon and others offer, and she's not always right.  i think that elizabeth's responce to eva's accusations seemed earnest, as through eva was way off base.  similarly with the doctor.  "you're wrong" and "you're clueless" are not how a person would react when faced with truth, especially when eva would have had the possibility to be informed by gideon, himself.  if she were right they would have responded with questions about why gideon told her, or why she was bringing it up, or attempts at defending themselves, or walking away. 

     

    gideon said his mom didn't believe him, but not about the abuse, per se.  elizabeth said she had him examined by 2 different doctors and found nothing, and that christopher was there as well, but is it possible that she was assuming eva to be speaking of another instance altogether?  perhaps those 2 doctors she speaks of are the ones that came to the house?  gideon never specifies who abused him, or even if it was that doctoral candidate that many assume, just that it was a "him".  the "him"s available in his life (that we know of) would include the doctoral candidate, christopher, vidal, and angus.

     

    i'm rambling, but my point is that we are getting this story from eva's pov, so we only have access to her truth.  i'm wary to accept anything she thinks or assumes, when she is obviously not well informed.

     

    Whoever abused Gideon is definitely not his mother. Gideon despises his mother because she never believed him. Possible she even kept his abuser around him. Vidal yes I do see it.
