Sam's Torment: Episode 40


“I’m the only thing that stands between Roger Collins and a prison sentence.”

Malloy, I have to hand it to him, is a dogged fellow who sets his mind on something and gets to answers rather quickly. By the time he reaches Sam Evans, the guy is in shambles. Roger and Burke and the past have all wore him to the core. Malloy wants to know the truth about the death that sent Burke to prison. This has caused ten years of anguish, agony, torment, and guilt. So, Malloy is convinced Roger is the culprit and he will push and push and push until Sam delivers his head on a silver plate. Malloy liquors Sam up so he has no strength or willpower, nothing to hold the truth within. Roger is a busy man in this episode. In Sam’s house, at the Collins Port Inn café, and at home confronting Carolyn about leaving her ring for Burke to find it. Carolyn is persistent in going to Bangor with Burke despite his definitive answer of no. No matter what he does, Burke can’t shake her off. I wouldn’t because she’s a fox, but Burke has his reasons for denying her interest in him. Poor Joe, he’s a good guy, but his girl yearns for another man. When this relationship is over, Joe can move on to Maggie and I will be glad. Anyway, Malloy cracks Sam, Roger gets the ring from Burke but cannot coax “kitten” into not going after his arch nemesis, and Carolyn will drive to Bangor following behind Burke’s car so she can go with him regardless of his feelings on the matter.

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.
