I heard Kathryn Leigh Scott's voice on the beginning voiceover, and thought, "Ooh, goody, another set-to between Willie and Maggie!" And lo and behold, we got one. The best is yet to be, but today's was good.
We got a rarity today: a close-up of the coffin pedestal in the secret room of the mausoleum. We get to see coffin pedestals so seldom that I was sort of figuring they were all pretty basic – a couple of crates or something. But this one was quite nice – carved stone. Or carved styrofoam pasted onto a couple of crates or something.
Adam still can't think about anybody but himself. He recognizes that something must have been desperately wrong for Barnabas to have risked his own life in an effort to abandon his body and inhabit a new one, but that doesn't make Adam start thinking about what problems Barnabas might have had and might still have. Nor does it occur to Adam that his initial grievance - "You made me as I am, and so my unhappiness is all your fault" – is no longer an entirely fair assessment of the situation. Instead, Adam simply persists in his demand that a mate be created for him.
