So Jason thinks that Carolyn should be the least of Elizabeth's worries. Then he tells Carolyn to stop snooping or she may get her mother into trouble, not in as-a-concerned-friend-of-her-mother's-tone either, but rather in a I-just-may-be-the-one-who-will-get-her-there tone. I was really thinking of that song Cold-Hearted Snake and thinking how perfectly it fits Jason, especially watching him mercilessly manipulate the Stoddard women in here.
But as much as I hate Jason, Dennis Patrick does a great job in his portrayal with him. In here he concentrates more on Jason's true colors, rather than the charming irish rogue facade he portrays in front of others.
I do like the scene between Carolyn and Burke though. I think Burke did regret the way he treated Carolyn, though it might have been when he finally joined the right team in the Laura storyline when he finally realized how shabbily he was in the way he used her. And to think it was Joe of all people who got them together.
Can understand why Carolyn would be reluctant at first to accept Burke's apology, not only very hurt about how he used her but also embarrassed over the fact she ignored all warnings from her mother and uncle about how Burke would break her heart into pieces.
When this aired again a few years earlier, others said it felt more soapy, and while there is some truth to that, I still found it a good episode.
