According to DS Wiki, Nancy Barrett reads the VO for this episode.
I also love PT Roger and Carolyn, especially that everything about PT Carolyn--hair, makeup, and especially wardrobe--is so different from RT Carolyn. I can imagine that everybody jumped at the chance to play different characters.
Presumably Sky continues to hang in the closet for the next few episodes--the writers seem to have forgotten about him.
Once again, Bruno proves that he's a nasty piece of work. I guess he's still hoping to become the Leviathan Supreme Being 3.0.
Lovely scene with RT Carolyn and Roger, who is actually very tender with her. He calls her "Kitten," probably for the last time.
Probably Bruno was wrong to lock Chris and Sabrina in the same room. Being together, even in danger of their lives, only makes them stronger. Chris looks out the (single-pane) window, hoping for some way to escape.
Roger is wowed by Barn's explanation of parallel time. Then Barn is wowed when he sees PT Carolyn and Roger. The music box theme turns out to be the notorious "Ode to Angelique," penned by-- wait and see. PT Roger addresses a soliloquy to Angelique's portrait, earning only hostility from PT Carolyn. And she's married to PT Will! She's come to get Will's book back. “The witch” stopped him from getting it for me, Carolyn says. (Presumably she means Hoffman.) A historical magazine wants to print a chapter from it, and that means money. She determinedly opens drawers in the main room and in the alcove, which we now see contains Angelique’s luxurious queen-size bed, while Roger follows her around trying to get her to stop. You would defile her room for money, wouldn’t you? he fumes. You would take her book for the two or three hundred dollars you might get? Quentin doesn’t keep us the way he keeps you, Carolyn shoots back. Stung, Roger orders her to get out. Not until I find it! she retorts, looking him in the eye. I won’t have you going through her things, Roger says, shaking with fury. I remember how she felt about you. Carolyn laughs scornfully. Stop shouting, she tells him. You make such a fool or yourself--not that that is unusual. I have no intention of leaving you alone in Angelique’s room, Roger huffs. It’s all right with me, Carolyn replies, then shuts the doors in Barnabas’s face. He calls her name and pounds on the doors but gets no answer. He opens the doors, but the room is bare and dark once more. Why does it disappear when they close the door? he wonders. Why? Is there never to be an explanation? Carolyn married to Willie, Roger in love with Angelique--even if he denies it. And Quentin--Quentin, the Master of Collinwood! What strange world have I discovered? What?
Pretty feeble escape attempt by Sabrina and Chris that results in Bruno stabbing Chris. At last Bruno wises up and takes Sabrina to another room. Carolyn (wearing her periwinkle blue dress) gets a phone call from Bruno. I’ve found a person who can make the shadow disappear, he tells her. Come to my house--without Jeb, because this person doesn’t like Jeb. You have to make this person care. I’ll be right over, Carolyn assures him. Don’t tell Jeb you’re coming, Bruno warns her. I’ll tell no one, Carolyn replies and hangs up. As she hurries into her coat, Roger comes downstairs and asks where she’s going. I’ll let you know when I come back, she says and dashes out the door. Roger asks her what happened, but she has already left.
Chris is in the room, searching for a way out or something to help him escape. He already looks like a creature in a trap. Bruno leans up against the other side of the door. Don’t cry out, he warns, even if you have the pain. Scream and Sabrina will pay! Carolyn arrives. Where is this person? she demands. I’m willing to pay you whatever it takes.
While Carolyn and Bruno are talking, the transformation begins. Chris writhes on the floor of his prison, desperately trying not to cry out.
Is this person Nicholas Blair? Carolyn asks. Nicholas could do nothing, Bruno replies. The person is in that room. It’s odd that you keep the room locked, Carolyn observes. It seemed wisest, Bruno replies, since _he_ didn’t seem to want to wait. He opens the door. Carolyn rushes to Chris as Bruno quietly shuts the door after her. Carolyn tries to lift Chris up. Get out! he screams at her and pushes her away. Pleased with his success so far, Bruno smiles as he waits outside. Jeb will have little reason to live now, he gloats. He starts to laugh as we hear Chris finally scream in pain.....
