s3e10: Coming Soon

Panic I watched the first few minutes of episode 10 when I came home at lunchtime, just to see if Alexandra Hedison was listed in the credits, as she was not in the guest stars I saw mentioned at MediaBlvd last night. Eric Mabius was listed first and it seemed to go in alphabetical order. I was starting to panic until I remembered that usually Alexandra Hedison is on top of Lauren Lee Smith (lucky Lauren!), who is definitely in this episode according to the trailer then I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I saw her name. Expectations There was absolutely nothing about Helena or Dylan in the preview for episode 10. All I know from various forums is that Peggy Peabody (Helena's mother) flies in to help her daughter. Consequently my expectations are pretty low, but I'm happy that there will be at least 1 new scene with Alexandra Hedison and the continuation of the Helena & Dylan storyline, even if it's not going the way I wished. It's often better to have low expectations, as high expectations are by their very nature much harder to meet. Though I have to say that I had high expectations for episode 8, and they were infinitely exceeded. As for the rest of the episode; please let Bette have some good scenes as she is wasted walking around in circles at a Buddhist retreat. I hope there's as little Max as possible, that the Dana/Alice storyline is handled well. I'm not sure what I hope for the Shane/Carmen storyline. Helena & the never arriving preview glimpse In the preview for episode 8, there was one short glimpse of Helena with her back against the wall looking worried. Unsurprisingly that scene was not in episode 8, as Helena looked far from worried the entire episode. The shot was also in the preview for episode 9, but again it was not in that episode either. The only time that Helena looked worried was in the final scene on the beach. This time it was not in the preview for episode 10, but judging by Helena's worried look, now seems like the time it is likely to be included, so I am betting that it actually is from episode 10. Only time will tell! Err... wrong! Maybe, it's in episode 11, although yet again it's not in the preview.
