Hug Analysis

I rewatched “The Doll’s House” episode recently and the moment when Rose rushes to Unity and throws her arms around her? GOD. That embrace means so much to both of them.

Rose has Lyta and a seemingly strong social network, which I’m so glad she has, but at the same time I still get the sense that she felt anchorless after the death of her mother, and perhaps an aspect of her desperation to find Jed was she needed someone to call home. And in the midst of her search for him, suddenly she has Unity, too, who’s so ready to take Rose into her life.

And Unity? Who does she have? Maybe some of the nursing home staff who were kind to her and welcoming when she awoke? Her damn solicitor Mr. Holdaway??? Everyone she knew and loved, all her family and friends, are long dead. When she woke up and realised how utterly alone she was in the world…I would have been terrified.

She was so nervous about meeting Rose: you could see it in her body language, the way she holds herself, the restrained excitement and anxiety in her voice. Unity practically radiates warmth, and her family seems to have been a pretty affectionate one—I think Unity was absolutely starving for someone to love.

And she found that person in Rose.
