Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Perdita]

Is Erik not visiting David at all and could Vic not get a message to David that way? Why does everything always have to be so contrived in soapland :(

[lizann]

does jacob still live with david? does meena ever work?

[Dennis tanner]

Is Erik not visiting David at all and could Vic not get a message to David that way? Why does everything always have to be so contrived in soapland :(

Well said. Speak to Eric, Victora

[Dennis tanner]

I read the meals on the Woolpack Menu board. Very interesting albeit a bit expensive

[Dennis tanner]

David needs to keep a close eye on Jacob. He seems to be very keen on Meena

[Son of Cain]

Role reversal: - Now it is Will who is panicking and Harriet cool calm and collected.

Survival Challenge: - Civilized style, toasting marshmallows and sing song round the camp fire.

Quick recovery: - Meena says David needs to stay in bed and rest, but still he is fit enough for hanky lanky? - Now after recently taking a shotgun blast to the abdomen which should have removed half of his insides, he is fit enough for camping in the woods and taking part in a boot camp? - It is ridiculus, British Army could do with a few Davids.

The usual soapland super fast recovery ...

[lizann]

im going with andrea dead by meena but kim blamed

[Dennis tanner]

Who knew that Home Farm was so big that it stretched all the way to North Yorkshire

[Perdita]

im going with andrea dead by meena but kim blamed

I know Meena does not really need a reason but why would she kill Andrea?

[Dennis tanner]

I know Meena does not really need a reason but why would she kill Andrea?

Just so that her sister could be with Charles.

I have just realised that Jai and Manpret were brother and sister in Corrie a few years ago. Does Rishi know this ?

[Son of Cain]

"Survival Challenge" - Are they meaning "Relationship Survival" because so far all that seems to have happened is that couples have been walking about the woods discussing their relationships. After saying how important this "Boot Camp" is and how they need to impress Kim, Priya and Ellis seem more focussed on outdoor hanky panky. So far Manpreet is the only one to have carried out an activity.

Someone should call Moira to investigate if sufficient Health and Safety Risk Assessment has been carried out on that rope bridge. When Charles says it is only meant to have two people on it, it is normal practice, I am sure, to test it to double the load, and that would meant at least four BIG people.

And electric lights and piped music in a Boot Camp - Really? - Not exactly roughing it..

I would also have thought that those going over the bridge should have worn life jackets seeing they would fall into water?? And I thought it was supposed to be team work, so why are none of the others around apart from those in a relationship or wanting to be in one?

[Snagglepus]

If Charles says there are only meant to be two people on the bridge then why was he lingering on it for that long, he and Manpreet should have moved to let others cross.

[Son of Cain]

If they had not stopped in the middle and lingered then they would not have been able to fall in the water.

Altho Ellis had been prattling on about boot camps and survival challenges, there seems no organization, the whole endevour is a shambles. Not like any boot camp I have seen. No shouty Sergeant major type urging them on. Paddy and Marlon did not even turn up for the camp and are now lost and wandering about on their own with no contact at all with the others.

They will never be able to walk from Home farm woods to North Yorkshire

[Perdita]

But then no drama .. :nono:

[lizann]

where and when did the river and waterfall on home farm come about

[Son of Cain]

At the rate Victoria and David are going they are going to finish up in the Noth Sea, that will be well dramatic. I do not think the reviews on the "Survival Challenge will be favourable. That rope bridge was definitely a bit moth eaten.

It's a pity that Kirk didn't make it to the bridge.

It's a good job that David has totally recovered from that shotgun blast in his stomach

Rather than take weight off what was left of the bridge, Victoria declined to get to the top of the cliff and climbed down so they could drop at the same time

[lizann]

vic should have thought of her child, saved herself, feck dim wit dope david

Dangling over a cliff hanging onto a broken rope bridge, does not seem to be the place for a long drawn out discussion on what to do next. If Victoria had climbed up David would probably have been able to pull himself up and climb up after her. Extending the time he was hanging there just meant he was getting weaker, I don't think taking Victoria's hand would have helped much.

[alan45]

Manpreet is a great advert for waterproof mascara

I agree. It didn't help at all

[Dennis tanner]

Another daft episode. Those two in the tent were totally unprofessional.

Why would you provoke someone who you think is a killer and why would you run into a maze ?

There was a nurse present but the most she could do to help the sick patient was to run off. Nobody will remember her very strange behaviour.

[lizann]

meena was singing staying alive

a maze, a waterfall, a lake, a river, caves and ravines on home farm bigger than disneyland

[Dennis tanner]

meena was singing staying alive

and Sam Dingle has to look after it all

[lizann]

and Sam Dingle has to look after it all

had sam still a job there with will estate manager, thought sam was on nate's farm

[Dennis tanner]

had sam still a job there with will estate manager, thought sam was on nate's farm

Is Nate still a farmer? He's as much a farmer as Kirk is a vet

[alan45]

Could this be the end of Andrea? She is pregnant in real life and going on Maternity Leave soon

[lizann]

a very badly done slasher horror

[Son of Cain]

This "Big Week" has been terrible. Characters running round screaming in a flaming "Maze of Maize" trying to find a way out. Anyone who had ever tried to set a bonfire in their back garden burning damp green leaves will know how hard it is to get them to burn. The maze is made of maize for goodness sake, you can just push your way through it, keep travelling in a straight line and you would be out in no time.

I am not refeering to Meena the murderer but somebody should be liable for criminal negligence/manslaughter

I do not believe that the Cook and the 'Vet' made that stretcher

[Son of Cain]

After going on about how important this trial run of the "Survival Challenge" Ellis and Priya have been absent for most of it, only turning up when everything had turned to chaos. There has been almost no supervision of the participants, with most of them wandering about the woods on their own. Not sure if the rope bridge was meant to be part of the challenge, if it wasn't, they should not have been allowed near it, if it was, surely one of the hapless supervisors should have been on duty there. And just leaving a flare gun around? Definitely no risk assessment done here.

There did not seem to be that much blood on Charlie's trouser leg considering he is supposed to be bleed to death.

Meena and Andrea, Longest murder attempt in history?

A lot of effort went into building that large stage just to place a pumpkin, a radio and a flare gun on it.

Particularly like how the corn is not actually burning, just the ground, especially the bit where the the fire is burning on the ground across the pathway.

Funniest part was, one of the tents was placed on a steep slope, wonder who slept in there.

But good to see David fully recovered from being shot.

[lizann]

where did priya go for champagne a shop in the maze

[Perdita]

where did priya go for champagne a shop in the maze

Thought she brought it from home???

Good summary.

[lizann]

Thought she brought it from home???

so went home for and returned by the maze

[lizann]

Could this be the end of Andrea? She is pregnant in real life and going on Maternity Leave soon

now kim gets millie, meena a hero keeps david, stupid over hyped super week where acres of extra home farm land magically appeared

[Snagglepus]

Do they know that Charity and Mack stole their phones?
No one was monitoring the walkie talkie channel.
No one now watching the camera footage.
Should be a claim going in for negligence.

[Son of Cain]

so went home for and returned by the maze

Pretty sure she had it in the tent.

[Son of Cain]

How did Priya get burned so badly, Ellis beat the flames out almost imediately. Her fleece looked quite thick, I am sure it would not have burned through that quick.

[tammyy2j]

How did Priya get burned so badly, Ellis beat the flames out almost imediately. Her fleece looked quite thick, I am sure it would not have burned through that quick.

Yes I thought the same and his jacket was wet, where was Priya going in the corn maize?

Overall a dull week for me

Did Andrea live with Wendy, I hope Andrea's family take Millie

[lizann]

Pretty sure she had it in the tent.

the tent did had nookie

[lizann]

not an ethan fan but surely he'd be contacted about his dad

[Dennis tanner]

not an ethan fan but surely he'd be contacted about his dad

Ethan is a very cold fish. I assume that Meena will delete any relevant footage

[Son of Cain]

the tent did had nookie

Yes.

[Son of Cain]

Do they know that Charity and Mack stole their phones?
No one was monitoring the walkie talkie channel.
No one now watching the camera footage.
Should be a claim going in for negligence.

Probably all will be forgotten about by next week, no consequences as usual
I really want to see Charity and Mack held to account for stealing the phones.
Surely they would have stopped the camera running when they left the room, it is the natural thing to do.
Priya and Ellis should end up in prison for organizing (or lack of organizing) such a shambles.
Strange no mention of the whirlwind which passed over the maze - otherwise how do you explain how the whole maze was ablaze? The fire started on one side of the centre space, and normally fire spreads in the direction the wind is blowing, so how did it spread to the other side? None of the corn stalks actually burned to the ground even though flames were raging everywhere, they were still standing. Was hoping we would be rid of a few more deadbeat characters like Mack and Charles.

Biggest mystery of the whole episode - what happened to Paddy's gigantic rucksack,? When he left the woods with Marlon it was nowhere to seen.

[Snagglepus]

Will there now be coach parties coming to the Woolpack to have a meal cooked by the hero chef.

was the rucksack used to carry charles

[Son of Cain]

Will there now be coach parties coming to the Woolpack to have a meal cooked by the hero chef.

That should solve all their financial problems.

[lizann]

Yes.

so where was she going as they were in the tent

[lizann]

meena to blame or kill priya who wants al

[Son of Cain]

was the rucksack used to carry charles

I do not think so, they used a green groundsheet and a tartan travel blanket to make the stretcher.

[Snagglepus]

Never watched anything so stupid, can't wait for it to be over.
It's like the writers are trying a poor attempt to bring Hitchcock to a Yorkshire farming village.

[Dennis tanner]

I am tempted to stop watching untill The Awful Meena is caught or killed.

[Son of Cain]

Nurse "Are you a patient"
Meena "No, I am just on the school run in my jim jams"

[Son of Cain]

They say the NHS is short of money, but Charles, Priya, Victoria and Meena all have private rooms?

[Dennis tanner]

They say the NHS is short of money, but Charles, Priya, Victoria and Meena all have private rooms?

They are in the Emmerdale Wing, a private wing financed by ITV. The characters are taken straight there and bypass A&E.

[Son of Cain]

I do not understand why the police would think that Andrea was murdered. The most obvious conclusion to come to, even if it is wrong, is that Andrea was first to reach the maze, took the flare gun meaning to fire it in the air, to signal her success, but accidentally fired it into the corn, starting the fire. Her head injury could have been caused by being overcome by smoke and falling against the stage. The police were less quick to reach the conclusion that Leanne had been the victim of foul play.

Surely someone would notice Meena's obsession with David and the intense way she speaks.

[lizann]

jacob manipulated again by meena, is he her new fella

[lizann]

billy saved victoria not meena, victoria should show the police the voicemail

[Son of Cain]

jacob manipulated again by meena, is he her new fella

You would think after Maya, Jacob would steer clear of older women.

[Son of Cain]

billy saved victoria not meena, victoria should show the police the voicemail

Billy did not know that Meena was trying to drown Victoria so she could claim she was pulling her out of the river. Still puzzled why there was a camera there. Wasn't very clever of Meena to leave a voicemail like that.

Perhaps it's just her bad acting

[Dennis tanner]

You would think after Maya, Jacob would steer clear of older women.

I get really really annoyed by his total disrespect of David. You would think that after his total betrayal and David's forgiveness, he wouldn't be such a pratt.

[Snagglepus]

Why is Meena talking in a stupid voice?

[lizann]

Why is Meena talking in a stupid voice?

smoke from the fire

so kim is questioned on meena's knowledge

[Dennis tanner]

smoke from the fire

so kim is questioned on meena's knowledge

The Police should regard Meena as a suspect, not a witness. Same as anyone else who was in the maze

[Son of Cain]

im going with andrea dead by meena but kim blamed
Well done you! - you guessed right there.

[Dennis tanner]

Well done you! - you guessed right there.

Blamed but not prosecuted. The Police need to investigate properly. They could start by searching the property of all those that were known to be in that Maze

[Perdita]

Blamed but not prosecuted. The Police need to investigate properly. They could start by searching the property of all those that were known to be in that Maze

Meena still has Andrea's bracelet ... I wonder if someone will spot it on her or if she will put that into her first aid trophy box too :hmm:

[Son of Cain]

Blamed but not prosecuted. The Police need to investigate properly. They could start by searching the property of all those that were known to be in that Maze

I do not think the police can get a search warrant unless they have grounds for doing so.

[lizann]

kim has alibi unless hired an unknown killer is where police are going

[Dennis tanner]

I do not think the police can get a search warrant unless they have grounds for doing so.

The grounds would be that she was present at the scene of the crime.

[lizann]

sad to see diane leave, good scenes with her and kim, val remembered too, kim on to meena

[Perdita]

Bye Diane, happy life in Portugal ...

[Son of Cain]

The grounds would be that she was present at the scene of the crime.

But she wasn't, she was with her solicitor, she was not seen at the maze when it was burning. She argued with Andrea at the camp and I think that was the previous evening.

[Dennis tanner]

But she wasn't, she was with her solicitor, she was not seen at the maze when it was burning. She argued with Andrea at the camp and I think that was the previous evening.

I was on about Meena who was certainly at the scene of the crime

[Snagglepus]

I hope that when it all comes out about what Meena has done she dies, then we won't have her come back in a year or so's time.

[Son of Cain]

Charity really should be trying to set Sarah straight instead of using her to plan a robbery on the house of Chloe's family. Sarah has no right to be trying to force friendship on the sister of her heart donor, especially when the family said they wanted no contact, and Charity should not be encouraging her to do so.
So far it looks like her and Mack have got away with stealing the phones, I wonder if they threw them away. I really hope they get brought to book for it.

[Perdita]

I hope that when it all comes out about what Meena has done she dies, then we won't have her come back in a year or so's time.

She should be in a mental home because that is where she belongs .. and stay there for the rest of her life and never come back .. but with scriptwriters desperate for drama, she will probably be back one day, she should not die, needs to do some time at least for what she has done

[Dennis tanner]

I would prefer time in normal prison. Actually she needs to die as she would be able to convince TBTB that she was cured and safe for release.

[johntrevor]

Meena still has Leanne's ring as well, and stuff from the "best friend" she killed before coming to Emmerdale.

[Son of Cain]

Meena still has Leanne's ring as well, and stuff from the "best friend" she killed before coming to Emmerdale.

One of the reasons I do not want her to die, beause if that stuff is not found no one may ever know she killed Leanna and her "best friend"

[Dennis tanner]

One of the reasons I do not want her to die, beause if that stuff is not found no one may ever know she killed Leanna and her "best friend"

There is no reason why she couldn't be killed after it all comes out.

[flappinfanny]

Sad to see Diane leave, one of the last true legends on the show. Elizabeth Estensen a class act.

[Son of Cain]

Is Charity the latest character to catch "thickness"? Her and Mack come to break in and rob the place, but it seems they are just able to walk in, and did not think it strange that the house was not locked up. Instead when Kerry, wearing a uniform and carrying a bog brush in her hand, finds them, she presumes that Kerry has broken in before them, even though she tells them she is the cleaner? I really do not like how crime is portrayed to be fun here, and only rarely does anyone get punished for it. Rhona on the other hand is to be punished for a "crime" that was as much Brenda's fault as hers.
Were the security asleep when Charity and Mack climbed over that wall.
I sense another silly story coming along.

They refered to it as a robbery but it was a burglary. They have to find them two something to do and I guess that crime is the only viable option that could be filmed.

I would like to see more of Kerry. I have forgotten what Rhona's crime was. Kirk appears to have given up being a vet, Nate appears to have given up being a farmer and Liam appears to have given up on being a doctor. Charles is a vicar in the village of the Godless and has nothing to do.

[Son of Cain]

Zack has a refined palate?

Restorative justice in a cafe? In public? - Better than a night watching telly.

[Snagglepus]

I would like to see Charity and Mack receive life changing injuries.

[Dennis tanner]

I would like to see Charity and Mack receive life changing injuries.

I disagree about Charity who has always been a firm favourite with me

[lizann]

jamie watching?

[Dennis tanner]

I appreciate that the church was totally packed out with about a dozen people but Vicar Charles should have noticed that nurse lady smirking on the rear row.

My question is, "Is the amateur gardener worth his 100K a year salary ?"

[Snagglepus]

I disagree about Charity who has always been a firm favourite with me

She would rob the pennys off a dead man's eyes.

[Dennis tanner]

She would rob the pennys off a dead man's eyes.

That doesn't make her a bad person.

[lizann]

harriet should have done the service not charles

[Perdita]

That doesn't make her a bad person.

No, quite normal behaviour from the general populus, I am sure

[Son of Cain]

She would rob the pennys off a dead man's eyes.

Probably after killing him.

[Son of Cain]

That doesn't make her a bad person.

She is a bad person and a terrible mother.

[lizann]

so jamie now has millie

[Snagglepus]

so jamie now has millie

Don't get this... Andrea's mother must know how Jamie cheated on her and how he treated her, why is she helping him?

[lizann]

Don't get this... Andrea's mother must know how Jamie cheated on her and how he treated her, why is she helping him?

yes surprised me too

[Dennis tanner]

Don't get this... Andrea's mother must know how Jamie cheated on her and how he treated her, why is she helping him?

A flaw that's being ignored. It will all be sorted out when Jaimie is back with his mommy

[Dennis tanner]

So Kirk is going to get away with doping horses, theft of valuable horse and blackmail

[lizann]

has jamie money, is he paying andrea's mother or gave her the house

[Perdita]

has jamie money, is he paying andrea's mother or gave her the house

Jamie has money he stole from the vet account, substantial amount, apparently .. should be enough for him to find a new job somewhere else.. why are people thinking he is penniless?

[lizann]

Jamie has money he stole from the vet account, substantial amount, apparently .. should be enough for him to find a new job somewhere else.. why are people thinking he is penniless?

how did Kim's PI not find him, if he works elsewhere as a vet to show his qualifications he will have to use his name

[Dennis tanner]

how did Kim's PI not find him, if he works elsewhere as a vet to show his qualifications he will have to use his name

Andrea's mother's place should have been one of the first places the PI should have looked

[Dennis tanner]

Nate claims to be a farmer but he is always in the village
Kirk claims to be a Vet but he is always in the pub.

Ellis really doesn't accept that the chaos was his fault.

[Perdita]

how did Kim's PI not find him, if he works elsewhere as a vet to show his qualifications he will have to use his name

I would change my name by deed poll first if I were in Jamie's shoes....

[Son of Cain]

So Kirk is going to get away with doping horses, theft of valuable horse and blackmail

Kidnapping the horse - It was Kim's horse so, that does not matter, nor did the blackmail, crimes against Kim are a public service. I am puzzled how they got the horse to Moira's barn, presuming they stole it from Kim's yard, and neither Chastity or Paddy rode it did they lead it across country?

Doping the horse WAS bad, surely if a horse suddenly wins two races in a row, would it not be drug tested.

[Son of Cain]

Nate claims to be a farmer but he is always in the village
Kirk claims to be a Vet but he is always in the pub.

Ellis really doesn't accept that the chaos was his fault.

Ellis and Priya organized the event, so surely they should be held most responsible. I thought Ellis and Billy were a separate business from The Hop, and were freelancing, just hiring the use of the land. Ben is employed by The Hop, and seems to be getting all the blame. Was this bridge just built for the event, or was it always there. If it was always there, what measures were in place to make sure only two people went on it at a time. If it was built for the event, who installed it, surely not any of the stooges involved in the event. No mention about the missing phones, so guessing the Charity and Mack will get away with that. Now Nate seems to be worried he will get some blame, why? He made the maze, but was not there on the day. If blame is to be attached for the fire surely, Andrea would be held to blame for using the flare gun, even if it was not intentional.. Nothing about this has been credible, sometimes I wish we could return to the old days on "The Farm" when lambing was as exciting as it got, at least it was believable.

If blame is to be attached for the fire surely, Andrea would be held to blame for using the flare gun, even if it was not intentional.. Nothing about this has been credible, sometimes I wish we could return to the old days on "The Farm" when lambing was as exciting as it got, at least it was believable.

2 people on the bridge. Would that be two small people,two average size people or two big people ? Any bridge that collapses just because of a bit of extra weight on the odd occasion would never be safe for use. Ellis just dosn't understand that he is mainly to blame as he did no supervision at all.

[lizann]

ellis and priya were off getting it on, not supervising anyone

[Son of Cain]

This gets worse, where does Al think all these new customers, the younger crowd are going to come from? The Woolpack is a village pub, A SMALL VILLAGE, judging by the number of villagers we have seen. So are people going to drive out, to sample these fine ales, then drive back over the drink drive limit. Police would be lining up breathalizers in hand, or local taxi companies would be rubbing their hands in glee.

is chas after al again? nate cheated?

I will give you a clue. Nate has no morals

when did noah and chloe get together

when did noah and chloe get together

I feel sorry for Chloe but she needs to go home and leave Emmerdale residents alone.

She appears to have the finances and opportunites to leave alone any time she likes.

Looks like Meena will no longer be the suspect for the burglary.

[lizann]

meena just lets herself into any house

Large window left open and even after the burglary, the key was left under a plant pot

meena the frontline health care worker nurse who never works

She works very hard at getting what she wants.

I would imagine that Nurse Meena would be off with anyone she didn't fancy.

Meanwhile Chas and her idiot husband discuss their clever plan in the middle of the village and just for once Al is not listening.

Why is Emmerdale's second vicar preparing a sermon that nobody will hear ?

For his Christmas present Liam asks Cain to take him on a robbery.

Who is going to clean up that broken bottle which had earlier been carefully not hidden in the kitchen bin

I guess it's in Meena's treasure trove.

With so many suspicious deaths and incidents, the Police would be justified in getting warrants to search every place in the village.

Nate the farmer who is never on the farm. He's supposed to be working for Moira but he spends all his time in the village. At a time of year when the hours of daylight are very few, You are supposed to spend those hours working.

Poor Lydia is crap at being a Dingle.

Wendy gathers her little group but fails to ask the big question. Of all the residents of the village, who is very strange????

Police, "Can you come down to the Police station for a chat?"
Liv "No"
Police " In that case I am arresting you etc "
Vinny " You can't do that.....(Idiot)

It's the same script we hear ever time someone is arrested.

[Son of Cain]

The Police at Hotten nick must be extremely busy if they cannot assign an inpector or senior officer to Ben's murder. This the second time that DS Rogers has been in charge of an investigation into a suspicious death. Although Leanne did get an inspector and her death was not a murder.

Yes Leanna's death was a murder, but the police were not aware of that, whereas Ben's death was obviously a murder from the start but was assigned to a detective sergeant. As was Andrea's death when they prematurely thought that was also a murder. I cannot remember if the HOP shooting was also investigated by him.

[lizann]

meena working finally but taking delight with struggling priya

I suppose it makes a change from PC Mike Swirling who seems to be involved in everything else. Bet they will be glad when Harriett returns to the force or should that be fArce

[Dennis tanner]

But Vinny now knows that the Police are allowed to arrest suspects.

Poor Manpreet. She has to pay Liam, pay a locum to cover for Liam, pay her lazy sister and pay Wendy overtime to cover for Meena.

Not much left for you Rishi.

Aaron puts in plenty of crying practice for the castle. He needs to get away from Liv but that wont be a problem untill Meena is locked up.

Yes - Sorry, I did mean Adam. - whether he applied for residency before or after Bexit, when his identity and details were checked out it is unlikely they would stand up.

I find it hard to believe that Bernice and Kim would be fighting over boring Will. When he ran off recently I thought we had seen the last of him, but NO, like the bad penny he was back.

[Son of Cain]

Is my mind playing tricks on me? - I seem to recall that restaurants use to wash their dishes by hand in the sink before dishwashers became common. Indeed I seem to remember actually doing this myself, when I lived in Jersey.

Have we ever seen Bernice with dirt under her fingernails.

Perhaps I posted too soon, there may not be dirt under her fingernails, but it is on her knees

Al is taking mind altering drugs isn't he? What on earth is he talking about building six new flats, for couples with disposable incomes, families and opportunities for local people to buy a property at a price lower than any house in the village. If they are that cheap how will he make any money. Increased income for local businesses? We are talking about maybe, a dozen adults and half a dozen children. He would need to build a tower block to make the riches he seems to be dreaming of.

[Son of Cain]

Still puzzled how priya got so badly burned, we saw Ellis brush the fire off her immediately, and it did not even seem to burn through her thick fleece. Most puzzling of all is, her lovely hair and thick eyebrows were not even singed. You only have to get too near a bonfire and the smell of singed hair is soon in the air.

Chas and her daft husband are broke but they can afford to go away for Christmas

According to IMDB, his was her first job on tv. The way she has performed, it could be her last

I watched todays episode on the ITV Hub and without wanting to spoil it for the rest of you I will just say that the Pantomime Villain that is Meena plumbs new depths of mediocrity. Her character is way OTT. The storyline is getting completely nonsense and totally unbelievable even for Emmerdale or indeed any soap.

Not a very good fire investigator. - Even in a very fierce fire there would evidence of the timer, the plastic would melt but the metal pins of the plug would still be in place in the wall socket. Likewise the gas taps on the cooker, the metal valve stems would be in the on position. I find it hard to believe they could not determine how it started, if there was no accelerant used, only gas could have cause such a large explosion.

Does Meena always carry a syringe full of some toxic substance, on the off chance she might need to finish someone off.
