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.
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...
