I find it chilling that Lachlan comes after Keith just after Keith has said 'God help me!', as if Lachlan is God's answer to Keith's dilemma!

Oh, I didn't notice that! It is chilling... Keith calls on God for help and this is the best that God can do for him.

Ewen is going to eat his words about women and food when he finally shuts up and eats the food that Alison prepares for him. I predict he will suddenly realize that he's famished (probably hasn't eaten properly for days in between the ocean voyage/his grief over Keith) and eat up practically everything in the house.
