Yes! I really like the relationship between Lexie and Duncan too. In series 2 I think Duncan helps Lexie to develop and begin to care more for others. They have a lovely scene in series 3 episode 7. I watched series 2 episode 8 last night after reading your summary of Katrina and Archie. I don’t usually watch it as I was rooting for Archie and Lexie. I found Katrina really frustrating and I hated he said Katrina got to me first. I thought this was really insensitive. (He certainly paid for this comment !) Maybe it was meant to show he felt he could be honest. I’ve read your piece and think you have done a much better job than the writers at communicating what was going on his mind. I I’d never noticed that Archie asked Lexie if she was ok when she comes up. Really sweet. Made me like the episode a bit more. Archie does appear in love with Katrina at this point. He’s very smitten. I don’t think he ever seems smitten with Lexie like this, because they can be open and honest with each other unlike Katrina and Archie, therefore the dynamic is different. He does really fight to be with Lexie eg stopping the bus. You can see the impact of fergal and Archie’ rejections and stellas mind games really impact on Lexie’s self confidence. I really felt sorry for Lexie in series 3 episode 3, as in episode 2 Archie seemed to hint he was interested even if subconsciously eg the fight on the stairs, the killwillie kitchen scene and the party afterward. I don’t think molly would have encouraged Lexie if she thought it was hopeless eg taking the photo of them together. He seems very different this episode 3,3 to the one before and when he becomes jealous in 3,4. 3.3 is the last time Lexie really flirts in Archie’s face and shows her midriff. She seems to change at this point. What do you think?
