Oh no. Poor Joe's crazy now. But Crothers does it so well. I was trying to imagine what it was like accepting easily that witnessing a werewolf transformation could drive you mad. I thought it might have been that in the 60s, we weren't bombarded with CGI effects, and didn't have that kind of fantasy imagery in our heads all the time. Seeing it in person, for real, when you don't even go to see those kinds of movies where it's a bad special effect (millions of people were too "normal" to be interested in horror/sci-fi etc), this could be a shock.
Carolyn gets caught up on what happened to Vicki, and is most alarmed about Elizabeth, though it's nothing new by now, her fears. Where was Carolyn? Liz has a dream in which Cassandra appears, seemingly an implanted interactive image of her, since Angelique is long gone. Very strange. I don't think Ang cares enough to give Liz such ongoing personal attention.
Julia takes charge, very sensibly and competently, except when she warns Carolyn to avoid expressing emotion to her own mother. Cassandra then appears to Liz in her room for real, which I consider impossible, and sends her into the long-anticipated coma, and once again, Julia promptly declares her dead right away.
Joe meanwhile has been semi-crazy in the foyer after failing to kidnap Amy, and while Julia's up dealing with Liz, Joe stumbles out the door for who knows where. Crothers was really good. Was that Cassandra's discarded hot-green dress on Liz's hearth, while she was comatose? Everyone has a fire going tonight...
