I don't see the cogency of the "You could disappear at any time" argument that Tate used on Amanda. Anyone can die at anytime, and Quentin won't have to pay funeral expenses for Amanda. On the other hand, with the way people die and come back to life at the drop of a hat on Dark Shadows, maybe Tate's not being so terribly silly after all. You can't bring back to life a body that isn't there. By the way, if you prick Amanda, does she bleed? Or does she have no insides because a painting doesn't have insides? Except of course, for Quentin's bleeding portrait.
I think Tim is the best of the threesome of Quentin, Charles, and Tim. Unlike Quentin, Tim will be a good provider, and as soon as he learned Amanda was in danger at Collinwood, he dropped everything to run and tell her to forget about his big plan and get out. And he's more fun than Tate.
Amanda's room didn't look as though it belonged at Collinwood. When she and Tim were talking, I kept wondering if he had summoned her to the Collinsport Inn, and then reminding myself that she had told him at the beginning of the conversation that it wasn't a good idea for him to be at Collinwood. The comforter on her bed looked familiar, however, though I can't remember where we've seen it before.
