And the more I watch POTTR the more I think it’s the best Melinda Clarke performance as Lady Heather. I love her in the other two episodes and I wish there was more Gill/Lady Heather scenes in the same vein as the those episodes.. but as a single performance it's brilliant.
Welcome newbies
I love the tone of
her voice. She's so in control especially during
this scene:
***************
(Lady Heather and Robbins stand aside the open morgue table with Zoe's body. There's an eerie moment of silence as Lady Heather stares at her daughter on the table.)
LADY HEATHER: What happened to her?
ROBBINS: We're trying to find out.
LADY HEATHER: May I touch her?
ROBBINS: Go ahead.
(She reaches out and gently places the palm of her hand against her daughter's cheek. She slowly runs her hand down her daughter's face to her shoulders to her upper arm. She finds the branding.)
LADY HEATHER: This required skill ... and the infliction of pain. Did you shave her head?
(She doesn't look at Robbins; her eyes are on her daughter.)
ROBBINS: No, she was found like this.
LADY HEATHER: Can you tell if she's ever given birth?
ROBBINS: There was some scarring on her pelvic bones, but given the condition of the body, it's hard to say for sure.
LADY HEATHER: She always wore her grandmother's ring on her right hand. (She looks at Robbins.) Did you find it?
*****************
Wow! It's too bad we didn't get to know her daughter.
I loved how Heather said to Grissom that Zoe was
"A lot like him. Thoughtful, pragmatic, patient."
