Episode 101

The ending is quite a stunner! Good job of the writers and performers building to it as well.

Roger knows Vicky places him at the scene of the crime regarding Lookout Point and Bill Malloy's death thanks to the fountain pen. Carolyn, David, and even Maggie are weaved into the plot through various means. Carolyn has no idea that her relating the fountain pen and Roger's connection to Vicky could threaten her life. Vicky needing to talk to Burke, whether requesting Carolyn to tell him to call her or even trying to use the Collinwood phone to get in touch with Devlin, these acts are questionable considering how they can tie the governess to the Collin's family #1 adversary. Maggie is uncomfortable when (after returning Vicky's purse to her after leaving it at Collins Port diner on accident) Vicky starts admitting she may know who killed Malloy and why because Sam could possibly be implicated somehow. David is always snooping, trying to always listen in on conversations. David actually lies to Roger when he asks if Vicky was around, the kid knowing she was in the living room, asking to go into the room in the old closed-off wing where Malloy's ghost was seen as reward. David shows a picture he drew of the person responsible for Malloy's death hanging for the crime to Roger! Roger and Carolyn's conversation about the date with Burke becomes less important when Vicky's knowledge of the fountain pen takes precedence over it. Vicky's actions are perhaps endangering her more than helping since she can't seem to keep from trying to talk about the fountain pen and knowing a secret that could place her in peril.

The close has a hiding Roger sneaking from behind Vicky as Maggie leaves, his hand over her mouth, telling her not to say a word!

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.
