Maggie is still stuck in the damn diner, taking orders for
hamburgers, questioning anyone and everyone about Burke Devlin because she
senses that he is connected to her pops. Constable Jonas Carter, Carolyn,
anybody that enters the Collins Port Inn Diner who might can offer insight. Joe
is absolutely fed up with Devlin and has damn near given up on marrying
Carolyn. He is excited about purchasing a new boat; it should take a few months
(…the poor guy can’t even buy a twenty year old boat in need of repairs). I
cracked up when Joe found out through Maggie that Burke needed Carolyn to come
up to his room (…for important details in regards to his visit with Elizabeth
and Roger) in which he snaps, “He what?!?!” As usual, Burke is center of the
universe and everything about the show revolves around him. He talks with
Carter about being found near Roger’s car; what I love about the Burke
character is he isn’t intimidated by nobody. You can wear a badge, be from the
town’s most important family, or a key witness that might implicate you for a
crime, but Burke Devlin will not be shaken easily. You can see, despite his
smile and resolve that fingers pointed at him constantly, his character
questioned, and attempts at provoking his anger: all of it is starting to piss
him off. He claims that he came to town to visit, on business, but no one believes
him. Carolyn, you can tell, wants to believe he’s legit; Burke’s interest in
her, whatever it may be, intrigues me.
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...
