Summary
'Chekhov's Gun' is a literary concept that says everything in a work must have a purpose: if it is shown early on, it should be used later. So something that was shown in S1E1 has been bothering us. We've been waiting and watching, but it was never used. Apparently. But maybe it was.

Re-imagined reconciliation scenes since actual ones were so lacking by constructivecritic71

Summary
I was so bewildered after the Season 6 Episode 8 starting from the library reconciliation scene of Mary and Henry: such wonderful characters, capable actors--why did the show mess it up so much when the rest of the episode was so much better? Bad writing, poor directing, just altogether wrong. First time I have ever felt so strongly that I felt compelled to write down what I thought should have been presented instead, if it had to be done in a few scenes within the episode, keeping the original lines I thought were salvageable. It wasn't until weeks later that I found this site and am now posting it. Late to the party, I know, but it was cathartic at the time. It is not brilliant writing, but is intended to portray elements that were missing in the reconciliation.
