Luciaphil, I agree with everything you say about this plot. I know they brought this in just to boost the sagging ratings (according to Grayson, the ratings were down in the latter months of 1897), but, not only does the story not make any sense, it's downright creepy to watch. The music and lighting and scripts help make it all seem extra creepy.
I don't think the DS writers ever really grasped what reincarnation means. A lot of Sixties writers adopted these concepts without properly researching them. Here they seem to confusing reincarnation with metempsychosis (i. e. Josette's soul is out there floating on the astral, waiting to take up residence in Kitty's body).
btw, warning that there is a CDT/Aristede scene coming up in a day or two that could make you seriously nauseous. Keeping your hand close to the fast foward button on the remote.
