Here are my two issues with this episode:
1. If they are staying with this woman at Rose cottage, where is Sarah? With her being so inquisitive and romantic and nature I would think she would be totally into this mystery.
2. Gus’s “talk” with Felicity is too abrupt, he doesn’t make a “move” sexually on her ever, and their goodbye kisses were tepid at best. Innocence is fine and it’s one of the things I love about this show, but they are both young and in good health. Gus is a sailor. I find it hard to believe he wouldn’t try anything with Felicity. Though it begs the question: is Gus a Virgin when he does marry Felicity?

Honestly, this take is absurd. Gus never cheated. Nor even came close. No one did. It was simply a matter of the writers originally having a different story line, and then deciding to change it, (thank goodness!) and therefore, having it come out a bit confused. Charlotte Aims was married to someone else, Gus was staying with them, and that is ALL. There was no 'hanky panky'. Felicity was just meant to think there was, so that she got mad and stormed out, only to find out later that there was nothing to it, because she never met Charlotte's husband, as she left in a huff. I did find the character of Charlotte annoying and a little too friendly, but again, I think that was just due to a change in the story line. Imo, Felicity was the only one that was being a total brat, as she strung Gus along for such a long time, and played Gus against Arthur. That was mean AND disloyal. Yet Gus kept holding on.
Then she also nearly married someone else, until she discovered Gus was still alive. I always thought that Gus was too nice for her until she finally matured. Gus was never unfaithful in any way, he was completely devoted to Felicity (which is part of the reason so many women had a bad crush on that character, such devotion is rare) and proposed how many times? before she finally realised, only after she thought he was dead mind you, how much he really meant to her! Gus was never involved with Suzette either! She kept making advances on Gus, and he turned her down. That was always very clear. and Suzette caused a rift and helped push Felicity to Arthur. Now, this trope is annoyingly viewed as 'feminist' 'strong female' which this actual feminist calls nonsense on. It's not Ok for women or men to play with people's feelings, be disloyal, or date more than one person at a time. Yes, I'm 'old fashioned' and proud of that. Feminism was never supposed to be about women being as disloyal, shallow and sexist as they complained about men being. Only thing that did annoy me was the actor of Gus apparently bailing on the series, wanting to make it in Hollywood. So I heard anyway. Hopefully he realised what a cesspool Hollyweird actually is. Wholesome series like this should be the norm, not seen as outdated and needing to look for roles that are more 'gritty or edgy' which just translates into - trashy. As for why Gus did not make a move 'sexually' lol, obviously because that was not allowed back then till you were married one, and Gus WAS a gentleman. Unlike Arthur who wanted Felicity to be more 'modern'. And two, these are shows for kids also. Glad it didn't have sexual things in it thank you very much.
