The evidence strongly indicates that Chris was involved in the event that left Sabrina in a long-term state of shock, and Ned has been living with that reality for two years. (Can Sabrina feed herself?)
I wonder what Ned could be guessing that Chris did to put her in a catatonic state or possibly knows. I can't comment on the super sudden white hair because, short of putting chemicals on her hair or radiating it, it's just not possible. Oh wait, I just did.
It's no wonder he's so unpleasant to Chris.
That's a very kind way of describing it. What we've seen so far seems more like the behavior of a brazen stalker.
I suppose that, even though I don't like Chris much, he is given a consistent characterization: forever incapable of decisive action.
Good point about his indecisiveness. But I love Chris, and appreciate Don Briscoe's skills more with every viewing. And any view of him is something to appreciate, too.
If Angelique had turned Barnabas into a werewolf instead of a vampire, he would have responded differently to the situation from the way Chris did.
With that scenario, at least Barnabas would know the cause of his painful transformations. Maybe one of the reasons Chris is wobbly is that he's suffering from a huge case of "Why me?" He's baffled about why they started, why they're now happening randomly, and why someone wants to kill him. And Barnabas had Ben and later Willie, and Quentin had Beth. Chris had no one to confide in or help him until Barnabas and Julia came into his life. Or perhaps he did and eventually ate them.
This ep is a huge letdown for me after the last one, but fortunately there's lots there to talk about.
