Thanks goodness Clarissa is finally getting her due!

In series 18, I've missed Clarissa!

She's been relegated to throwaway lines on analysis and a few pointers at a computer screen.

But praise the lord and pass the whisky.

It was just great to see the old banter between Jack and Clarissa in evidence throughout "Circle." I've missed Clarissa busting Jack's knackers every chance she got.

But she got her digs in this time! It was great. Loved it. Great subtext in that Clarissa knew every single thing Jack was up to with Parks and was totally tuned in like she knows Jack so well, she reads his moods and mind.

Whereas Nikki, on Jack's team and is supposed to be so smart and intuitive, was playing catch-up on Jack's affair by being inquisitive long after Clarissa was much more hip to what was going on.

Oh Nikki! Do keep up!

Clarissa's throw-away lines, " Ah young love...great when it's yourself but..." haha

And "which bed?" "Your trousers....?"

God I love her. More please.
