Awesome, Lydia! Thanks! *bows low*
I don't think individual people are important to Josette. She may not care for David for his own sake but as the hope of future generations and the continuation of the Collins, um, bloodline.
When Laura first appears, she is wearing a long cloak, but later she wears a knee-length one.
When Dr. Guthrie arrives, he tells Mrs. Johnson, "I just escaped the rain," but his coat is perfectly dry. Mrs. J looks at his teeny reel-to-reel tape recorder as if she's never seen a tape recorder before.
As the séance begins, we get an unusual overhead shot of the table with everyone sitting around it (boy-girl-boy-girl). I don't remember ever seeing another overhead shot in the rest of the series, but I would be delighted to be wrong.
After all that build-up, the séance actually was pretty thrilling!
Josette has already displayed some interesting powers, so I'm sure she made it back to her portrait.
