The Guilty


The truth comes out. Four people gather and address who removed the bleeder valve from Roger’s car. Sure Burke tries to cover up for David, but Victoria saw the valve in David’s drawer and that cannot be talked away. She’s fed up having her character assassinated, but David’s disdain for her will only grow, the little shit. David feared Roger would send him away. Roger acts an ass, only getting worse after finally becoming convinced that David, not Burke, is responsible for nearly killing him. Burke enjoying this also is projected during the episode. Burke buddies up with David and vice versa. David hates Victoria for “getting him in trouble” and he constantly proclaims she’s lying. Why would she lie? It doesn’t work. Burke tries to say that the valve was found on the road; he admits that David was in the inn room for a short while, but his lie about meeting the kid on the road is discovered by Roger. Roger’s ire is inflamed now that his nemesis is in the clear, and the idea of sending David away seems ideal considering his role in the car wreck. How will this all conclude? Will David get out of his jam? Will Roger send him away? Can Elizabeth rescue the little turd? Will Victoria have to keep eyes open for David as her telling on him perhaps endangers her? David did try to kill his father; what makes Victoria not likely to get “pushed out an open window”? How Burke finagled out of this one proves his mettle and resiliency. David is a lot like Burke, and Dark Shadows Creative went out of its way to produce quite the resourceful/clever kid who can think on his feet, in a hurry.

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.
