Here's Liz's real problem: she's surrounded in her room by those totems of the supernatural, the Petofi Box (on the dresser?) and the brown afghan on the chair for bedside visitors. Is that the same gossipy MD from early episodes?
There's that TV cliche again, the declaration by a doctor that since his once over with a stethoscope revealed nothing, that means nothing physically is wrong... which he then contradicts in the same breath, by reccommending tests at a hospital.
I like the foreshadowing of Liz jerking upright to look at the still-empty visitor's chair, when we still don't know yet why she's doing it. Then later... Yes! Laura pops in!! These are my favorite moments with Laura. No sound, no evil cackle, no fanfare, she's already seated casually, as if it's all perfectly normal. When I backed up the disc, though, I did hear a small bit of scuffling as Millay got into position, and saw a shadow from her on the bed. Fortunately, you don't hear if you're not listening for it.
They apparently wanted the chair in a logical position for visitors, close to Liz, and Roger may have sat in it earlier. The chair may have already moved out of shot, though, by the time Liz jerks up and looks toward it. By the time Vicki leaves, though, the chair's been moved nearer to the foot of the bed, so that Millay can sneak in off-camera, while Moltke leaves.
The afghan (on the chair this time) may spontaneously generate supernatural foes.
