Episode 119


Emotions are running high in Episode 119 as the gloves come off. Carolyn insists on continuing seeing Burke despite the pleas of both Elizabeth and a returning Roger who try to convince her of Devlin’s supposed true motives in using her to destroy the Collins family. Carolyn’s defiance troubles her family greatly. Burke and Joe return from a fruitless search and Roger’s snide remarks cause quite a bit of animosity. Roger is flat PMSing here, his disregard for Vicky’s safety, snotty comments aimed directly at Burke, his chastisement of Elizabeth for offering Devlin coffee. Carolyn and Joe have quite an ugly back-and-forth about their dissolving relationship, and it is pretty much clear that their time has passed, ending unpleasantly. It is time for Joe to move on and he even apologizes to Burke for slugging him, while Devlin realizes (and lets Joe know this) he isn’t completely over Carolyn. But that final argument relates to us that any sort of loving relationship is highly unlikely. Ultimately, the way Burke carries on about finding Vicky, Roger muses with an evil grin his interest in her safety. When Burke shoves Roger against a door, I imagine a lot of fans cheered; it was about time someone put him in his place. Logan’s Port is Burke’s so the business war is also on with Burke making a remark that he will own Collinwood soon, with Elizabeth warning him not to take her likely. This is one of those episodes where tensions ignite and those buried hostilities surface. Recommended viewing for Dark Shadows fans.

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.
