Question about Daemon's Roost.

Jonathan seemed to piece all the clues together when his wife showed him a photo of their friend and her husband and the scarecrow they'd built. How did he solve it from that?

Thanks!

By realising the handyman wasnt the friends husband, as he'd been assuming.

Why would he assume that? Was there a line of dialogue that said the friend's husband was a handyman that I missed?

There was a line at the beginning where she talked to Polly that her husband took a job there a few days ago. It's to let us all assume that her husband was the handyman whereas in fact he was the taxi driver. Jonathan didn't realize that until he saw the photo and realize that the handyman could be phony.

Ah, OK. Thanks! I really need to pay more attention to dialogue in shows, haha!

Also, we tend to assume that the black man must be the husband of the black woman, so it plays on our generally preconceived notions.
