'The Durrells in Corfu': Season 3, Episode 3 Recap

As you may remember from last week's episode of The Durrells in Corfu, Aunt Hermione died rather unexpectedly, and it was decided that Louisa and Larry would accompany her body back to England. For a more details on the wacky funeral and Leslie’s latest (and quite significant) dating predicament, check out the full recap here.

So for the first time since we were introduced to the family over two seasons ago, a small contingent of Durrells have returned to their rainy, uninspiring hometown of Bournemouth in the Southwest of England. Louisa has made the journey out of duty, while Larry is hopeful that a change in venue will help jumpstart his writing career.

Meanwhile, the younger Durrells have stayed behind at their Corfu homestead, where they laze around the house and patently ignore all of their mother’s instructions. Leslie, as the oldest and a father-to-be, announces that he’s naturally in charge. Margo quickly installs another layer of hierarchy and places herself in charge of Gerry since he’s just a kid. So it is that poor Gerry finds himself at the bottom of the ladder; even his dog Roger won’t obey his commands.
