Hi, Ruth again, adding my opinion that Spike's crime was girl-related,
again. May I remind you all of the conversation before the bit Nick
mentioned?
L: "Staying long? Or is this a flying visit?"
S: "Just the last four years."
L: "Don't worry, you'll soon have learned the language."
S: "You know, Americans can speak English too."
L: "Really? Then why don't you?"
S: "I watch all the American cop shows to keep up the accent. Which is
fine until halfway through a conversation I frisk someone."
(At this point Lynda remembers the school dance scandal and Spike's
connection, and continues "Aren't you.....etc.)
I have never had the pleasure of seeing the episode, the conversation
above was written from my memories of reading the books. Considering the
Moffat brothers wrote the books and the series, between them they would
have had a good idea of what it was Spike actually did, and so were able
to add people's reactions accordingly. In the book, between Spike's
'cop show' reply and Lynda's recall, it says that the way Spike said the
word 'frisk' that caused Lynda to remember that Spike was the culprit.
Until then she hadn't thought of it.
Considering this, doesn't it seem logical that 'frisking' had something
to do with the infamous school dance affair?
Feedback on my theory would be great.
Bye for now!
Ruth
