With reference to the point I made yesterday about how it's sometimes interesting how certain elements of the stories either reference things that had happened the previous year or compare/contrast with previous events, what I found most interesting about eps #263 and #524 was how in ep #263, when Vicki asks Sam if she can help him dispose of Maggie's things, he explains that he prefers to keep all of her stuff just as it is, and then in ep #524 Maggie says the exact same thing with regard to Sam's things. Of course, the reason Sam doesn't want to dispose of Maggie's things is because she isn't really dead and only sequestered away at Windcliff. But even so, watching the two eps one after the other somehow seems to make Maggie's real reaction that much more touching.
And thankfully today not only did Liz offer tea to both Vicki and Carolyn in ep #2, but Joe shares his coffee with Carolyn in ep #263 and Maggie offers to make coffee for Joe in ep #524. My faith in the residents of Collinsport's polite amenities has been restored!
(Though one does wonder why Maggie and Joe would have
wanted to drink coffee just before going to bed?!
But who knows, maybe Maggie served Sanka?
