This was one of those rare voiceovers that was part recap, in case the excitement of the previous day's events caused us to forget? Anyway, it explained that Victor Fenn-GibbonS (!) revealed at the Old House that Aristede had been acting as his agent, and when Magda truthfully revealed that the hand was missing, an angry Aristede was sent from the house.
BTW, the
DS Program Guide states that the previous day's show was preempted on 7/21/69 for the Apollo 11 Splashdown. The splashdown, really??! (It also lists an incorrect tape date for this ep, sigh.)
Quentin threatened the murder of 3 people in this ep; that has to be a record!...
Q to Petofi: "How were you cured? Tell me if you want to live!"
Q to Magda: "You stole the hand and you brought him here. I should kill you for that."
Then, Q to Evan (about who possessed the hand): "Tell me, or I'll kill you right here, tonight!"
It always amazes me that spellcasters on DS can recall any needed incantation at the drop of a pointy hat, but does Quentin really expect Petofi to remember details of how the old gypsy cured him 100 years ago? (Julianka already told Quentin in #796 that Petofi paid for her great-grandmother's werewolf cure with his hand, so Magda's telling of all this to Quentin shouldn't have been necessary.)
If he needs a reason to kill Magda, shouldn't it be for putting the curse on him in the first place rather than for stealing the hand in order to help him?
As to killing Evan... oh, just do it. Please.
I'm guessing that the popular Quentin 5X7 postcards were photographed right around this time. The hair and sideburns look the same, and in one of the images he's wearing the same coat worn in this ep.
It was fantastic when Quentin realized that Count Petofi was telling the truth when Petofi mentioned that he felt great sadness when he woke up in the morning and discovered that the wolf had killed his prized unicorn.
Actually, it made Quentin realize that Victor was
lying about not being Count Petofi. Only someone with intimate knowledge of what it's like being a werewolf would know that they wake with no memory of what occurred during the transformation. This mistake forced Victor to finally admit that he really was the Count.
I notice, too, that Petofi lifted his suitcase with his "bad" hand. Interesting.
I thought that was deliberate. Wasn't it? It happened after Jamison had kissed him and became possessed by his spirit. If Jamison adopted Petofi's disability, then it's possible that Petofi took on one of Jamison's abilities. No?
