 Character
present for only a few minutes, John is nevertheless an important
character because he allows to assure the presentation of the last
Capwell child to appear in 1984 : Eden, about whom we know the
importance she will take during the show.
While
the private jet (a Spectre 411) flies over the United States, Eden
(throughout the scene, her face remains hidden) and John spend a
pleasant moment. The characters share a moment of pleasure, and although
we see nothing of their lovemaking, these latter are clearly expressed
through allusions (mostly visuals).
During
a last flying over the Capwell mansion, John allows Eden to jump in
parachute and to book an appointment with her destiny (Eden wants to
make the surprise of her arrival at the occasion of C.C.’s birthday
party and lands in the Lockridge property).
During
this brief introduction scene, the character of Eden is presented to us
as a femme fatale to whom nothing or nobody seems to resist. She also
seems ready to everything to make a success (even if it means using her
charms if necessary), acting mostly without caring about the
consequences : only the fact of achieving her aim interests her (we can
then find resemblances between her character and the one of Fallon
Carrington in Dynasty).
It is however important to notice that the character of Eden will not
afterward hold together with the presentation which is made for us
during this episode. The writers having afterward chosen to go away from
this cliché of the rich young woman, daddy’s girl, who possesses no
moral barrier...
