This episode just deals with reactions from those surrounding Vicky's brush with death, Matthew's mysterious death, the obvious attraction between Burke and Vicky, Elizabeth's worries concerning Vicky's never-ceasing troubles since coming to Collinwood, and the usual tensions between Burke and the Collins family.

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...
