David's Secret


I guess if one was to watch this particular episode he or she would be led to believe that the relationship between father Roger and son David is broken beyond repair. In the same room, the unease of just being near each other, the air of discontent and discomfort is transparent. This episode, 18, is a three actor affair with Roger requesting Victoria come with him to the police station to inform them of her encounter with Burke by his car the night of the wreck, while David tries, and fails, to tell Victoria about the bleeder valve, while also questioning the need to go to the authorities over the aforementioned crash. Tensions are high and poor Vicky is right in the middle of it; uncomfortable being stuck in the Devlin/Roger situation shows, while her attempts to reach out to David and get the boy to trust and confide in her continue to hit roadblock after roadblock. Roger has been pretty much from the very beginning a difficult person and practically everyone is agitated when around him. Hiding the bleeder valve in his top dresser drawer, David remains secretive about his role in its removal, so the question is will Burke be the fall guy for a crime he didn’t commit?

Early Exit

Burke interrupts what could have been a decent dinner between Maggie, her father, and Vicky, and he's sore, agenda-driven, and pointed in defending himself, while also demanding answers...answers Sam is willing to flee to protect. Sam's only link to Burke at all, besides Roger himself, is the letter he wrote to Maggie. He escapes out the back door while the others were in the living room and heads to Collins Port Inn where the letter is kept but the owner will not give it over to him. The letter is Maggie's and she will have to give permission before Sam can get his hands on it. Malloy's death looms large and will not go away--especially as long as Burke steamrolls throughout Collins Port, pissed off and unrestrained. He wants to know Sam's connection to the wrongful conviction and isn't about to just forget his presence at the meeting that night. Maggie just cannot believe that her father had anything at all to do with Malloy's death; Sam and Malloy were fr...

Keeping Quiet

Carolyn is all bent out of shape when she gets the phone call from Sheriff Patterson confirming the body found being Bill Malloy. Elizabeth wanted to tell her but Carolyn has a way of diverting a serious matter through evasion (in this case, not purposely). Carolyn gets all fatalistic and existential, how life is precious and could be taken away at any moment. A mourning period will now begin for Malloy, what he meant to those around him. At the Blue Whale, Sam is drinking heavily--no surprise--and Roger wants his assurance that the secret regarding Burke's manslaughter charge remain hidden. Both parties deny having anything to do with Malloy's demise but Sam is acting awfully strangely, especially when the topic of autopsy is brought up. Vickie plans to have dinner with Maggie and Sam, and is curious if Roger's reasons for her not meeting them might have something to do with her past. Vickie's past has been rather buried lately, with a few episodes finding a little roo...

A Dilemma

This isn't the name of Episode 62 but an actual problem I have. Currently two discs of Dark Shadows Collection 3 are not available on netflix to me so I will have to, seeing as I have not other way to avoid this, no alternative, skip certain episodes. I hate this as I want to stay in order and not have to miss huge gaps of story and character development. The only other choice I have is to buy the entire expensive set, and I just can't afford it. So, if you one or two people who have happened through my blog at some point, I want to apologize in advance.
