Re: When do they decide?

Elliott might not have had a lot of false pride (as far as you know), but that public scene where Beau gives him such a dressing down might have helped too. But you're probably right.

Re: When do they decide?

One of the most dramatic decision-to-kill scenes is in "Make me a perfect murder". We knew Kay was ******* he had told her about his plans to leave without her much earlier in the fairly long scene. But the moment when she actually made the decision was when he gave her the car keys. At that point her "murder music" comes on, and as she is hugging him goodbye, she fixes her gaze on the gun he had thrown on the bed.

A funny one is in "Double Exposure", after the blackmailer Roger leaves Dr. Keppel's office, Keppel gives an annoyed sigh, as if to say "now I have to kill him too."

Re: When do they decide?

hah That is pretty funny, Clay - I hadn't thought about that before, but you are right! A murderer's work is never done... :P
