SCANDAL bedroom scenes

In SCANDAL, we are introduced to Sherlock's bedroom for the first time. Funnily enough, Irene enters it through the window. Twice (what else? ). And sleeps in Sherlock's bed voluntarily. (I've always wondered why she did so!)



On the other hand, Sherlock enters Irene's bedroom through the door. Once. And "sleeps" on the floor  - not quite voluntarily.



Oh, and each time John is present.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

I think she'd been on the run, was tired and needed a safe haven.

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

Another one of your great observations, Tobe!  So many things are going in parallel ways for them - and Sherlock's actions seem more or less awkward compared to Irene's. "More" here, for sure!  Less when they look at each other's pictures, somewhat in the dressing up scenes.

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

Oh and of course Sherlock looking at Irene's pix and Irene looking at his phone pix...do we count Sherlock in a sheet as = to Irene naked?!

In this scene, she is dressed and wearing her hair in a rather harmless, normal looking way, as opposed to their first meeting. And she is (at least pretending to be) sleeping. She is in danger and hoping for Sherlock to help her, or at least that is the impression she wants to give him. And in case Sherlock doesn't understand it, considering his lack of sentiment, she makes sure that John is also present?

Irene seems to prefer using windows instead of doors. She also leaves her own bedroom through the window in the other scene.

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

Just supposed to make her look a woman of action I suppose...or to emphasise her being on the run.

No, I think Sherlock in his white sheet = Irene in her white dress
Irene naked = Sherlock all in black without his vicar dog collar (= defrocked)

Yes, that sounds reasonable. It is the quickest and easiest way to enter or leave the bedroom without having to walk through the whole house. That's Irene: Always going straight into the bedroom.

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

I would think that Irene being asleep like that in Sherlock's bed, hair down, jumper on makes her seem quite ordinary and somewhat vunerable. She looks like a girl asleep (waiting for a prince to awaken her with a kiss perhaps?)

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Total agreement Davina.  Irene is quite calculating and here she's going for the vulnerable little girl look. (The sex godess look didn't work on Sherlock so she's thinking the innocent look might).  It's her ploy to get a knight in shining armour to rescue her and give her the secret of the code she needs.

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

Is that another door right beside the door John is standing in front of?  What is it - a bathroom, a closet?  Seems kind of see-throughy......

Re: SCANDAL bedroom scenes

It's the bathroom, there is also another door to it(for John) from the hallway.

I think she is exactly where she wants to be  , by the way I always wondered if that green shirt belongs to Sherlock, that she put it on purposely.
