The picture of Brady standing in front of a black and white photograph (and a safe), reminded me of this post:

"If every episode pays homage to a famous painting..."

...could the silver bells be a homage to Sir Charles Bell?

Bell (1774-1842), a surgeon and atanomist, was an artist as well. He treated wounded soldiers at Waterloo and documented the incredible cruelty of war in his drawings with a lot of detail. Reminds me of Jacks drawings.

Another parallel to Sir Charles Bell could be his work about the philosophy and anatomy of expression [of a mad man]. After reading about it I couldn't help myself but going through the cast and their wrinkles. Might be nothing, but with all we know (after ep7)....well, good job on casting the mother, someone with no wrinkles - botox?, keeping up appearances.

Now, with Sir Bell's 'moving record of the horrific wounds [...]'*, maybe that's what this show is for us, more than just a "whodunnit", a depiction of a family's mental record and how their wounds are passed on from one generation to the next.
There's the grandmother, Cam&Jack and now Tessa might start worrying about her unborns future.

Hence Silver Bells = Homage to Sir Charles Bell, my guess :-)

I might be overshooting here, but I would love this show to have more hidden details, hints, going even further. Your thoughts?!??


Eastlin, you may have something there, considering Jack seems to have an (abnormal?) obsession with anatomy, science (and causes of death!).

The black and white photograph on the wall appears to be two men helping another, who seems to have a head injury (although I'm not sure if this implies a war related injury or a battlefield).

But I thought it was interesting and it reminded me of your post.
