DISSOLVE TO:
176 INT - COTTAGE LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 176
The room is in darkness except for the glowing embers
in the fireplace. CAMERA SLOWLY PANS THE ROOM, then
starts to TRUCK DOWN THE HALLWAY. Through the open
bedroom door at the end of the hall, Claire and Alex
can be seen sleeping in their twin beds. CAMERA
CONTINUES TO TRUCK, ENTERING THE ROOM.

And when we first see the cottage living room in Scene 176, the room isn't in darkness except for the glowing embers in the fireplace because the light is on -
- however, soon the light slowlys dims until the room actually is in darkness -
- and Alex begins to toss and turn -
- until we actually see Angelique's spirit -
- come down the corridor - approach -
- Alex - and then turn into -
- the mist-like vapor that envelopes Alex' body. So, the camera doesn't actually do a slow pan of the living room because, as we could see in the above captures, the camera actually remains stationary and focused on Alex asleep on the couch - and the camera also doesn't do a truck down the hallway, and we never actually see Claire and Alex through the bedroom door and asleep in their twin(!) beds (especially considering we've already seen Alex asleep on the couch in the living room) - and the camera doesn't continue to truck in as it enters the room.

Catherine sits in Collinwood's drawing room, exhausted. Morgan enters. Catherine calls him "darling." A horse is missing from the stables, reveals Morgan--I think Gabriel has gone into town, and I'm going after him. Catherine stops him--be careful--in his condition, there's no telling what Gabriel will do to you. I can handle him, he assures her. That poor, poor man, she laments--I just feel so sorry for him. Start feeling sorry for both of us, advises Morgan--if I can't bring Gabriel back, one of us might have to go into the room--I'm going to leave. Darling, please be careful, she begs, hugging and kissing him. I'm sorry for being abrupt, he says. It's all right, she says--You have every reason to act this way--and I'm sure you will find Gabriel. I must, says Morgan, and he must go into that room tonight. He goes.
Moving through the next three scenes as scripted:
DISSOLVE TO:
175 EXT - COTTAGE - NIGHT - WIDE ANGLE 175
It is later now. The house is in darkness. The
jeep is no longer there. HOLD FOR A MOMENT, then
start a VERY SLOW ZOOM IN.

And as far as the differences in the descriptions and directions go:
It's interesting that for Scene 175 there's a reference to a jeep (presumably actually Gerard's truck) no longer being there when DC actually had to add to his script that Gerard was watching Claire and Alex in Scene 173. Apparently Gerard watching must have been a part of the script but was accidentally left out somewhere along the way.
...
...
And it must have been left out at least as early as the March 10th version of the script because DC's added reference to Gerard watching doesn't appear in Grayson's copy of the script either...

Today as I was thinking about the painting with Charles, something I've very rarely ever thought about, I began wondering if Charles included his horse Dubloon (at least, presumably it's Dubloon) because, with the exception of Angelique, Dubloon was the only other living thing that Charles cared for/loved? And that would be particularly interesting if the painting the Jenkins come across is a self-portrait.
(Click here for a 818X706 version)
And if that is the case, it could make one wonder if there wasn't more to Gabriel having Dubloon killed after Charles is sealed in the basement room? Could Gabriel have had more motive than the fact that Dubloon was involved in Strack's death? Previously I've question if that was simply Gabriel's motive. But might it have been far more personal for Gabriel, like he felt Charles cared for/loved his horse more than he did his own brother? I mean, if you care for/love your brother, do you have an affair with his wife? Not likely. So maybe Gabriel's ultimate revenge against Charles simply had to include dispatching of Dubloon as well because Gabriel was just that insanely jealous. It's too bad at this point that, if Chris Pennock ever gave any analysis as to justify why Gabriel had Dubloon killed, we can no longer ask him what might have been his conclusion...
... after Alex says that if Quentin had the same scar on his cheek, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and Charles, Claire says, "I still don't see how showing him that is gonna make him leave here" - and the subtitles reflect that line as delivered - but the closed captioning has -
- and to that Alex first replies, "Honey, I gotta break through to him some way." - and the subtitles reflect that line as delivered - but the closed captioning has -
- and Alex continues his reasoning with, "If I can just get him to admit that it's at least more than a coincidence, we got a shot" - but the subtitles have
- with "at least" dropped for some reason - and the closed captioning goes even more afield with -
- before both do conclude with, "we got a shot."
