Turning The Tables

Something is wrong with Doug. It's not his health he's worried about, or that of a family member or work or money. Moll knew because she'd asked him and believed his answers. She believed him too when he said there wasn't anyone else on his mind, but not when he claimed everything was fine. So why wasn't he enjoying their trip to Skye as much as she was? It should have been ideal for him, but the more she tries to cheer him up by making it the kind of trip she's sure he wants, the more unhappy he becomes.
