Please be aware that this discussion guide will contain spoilers!

1. One of the themes of No Mark upon Her is the notion of family - both the blood kind and the kind a person willingly creates on his own. How are these ideas of family manifested? Do you see one as being more important than the other? Can a person belong to two kinds of family at the same time?
   


2. Should Gemma have given more weight to her blood family's opinions, both in her marriage and in agreeing to foster Charlotte?
   


3. Talk about Gemma and Duncan. What are they like? How do their personalities work together? How have they changed over the series? Has getting married changed their relationship? How has being parents altered their lives and their outlook?
