- Maud
might want to help Marianne because she recognizes her vulnerability
and pain in herself. Maybe herself before she found belief. Often it is this
simple ‘truth’ that gives people the evangelical desire to convert others.
- Marianne
and Maud face off with what seem irreconcilable viewpoints but the more they
look at each other the more Marianne recognizes that Maud possesses what she
needs; namely comfort, security, warmth, a conviction that things will be ok.
This attraction is not about God. It is an attraction to anything that can fulfill
those needs. It is more about need than belief.

- Host
- Weird, spiritual couple
- Peace-keeper 'Why don't we all just calm down'
- Gives hope to Joff and Marianne
- Makes them believe something, that their daughter can be 'healed', but much more
- The offering of the drugs to a susceptible Joff was always going
to be significant.
- It
is the need of Marianne and Joff that makes them engage and invest so heavily
in a world they have, up until this point, ridiculed. They need comfort. They
need to know that everything is not their fault. They need to find happiness
for themselves and for Grace. Maud and Ollie promise this. That has got to be
attractive!
