ILB, I think Beth's aware of the risks from going off with a man who can't really be said to love her or anybody, really. She's sort of between the old rock and hard place, I think, since she loves him. I guess you can't completely choose these things.
Yes, Magda's being unfeeling about Quentin's offspring, but I suppose she expects the boys to be no-good chips off the old Collins block. You're leaving out what I think is the most callous part of this Curse-- all the innocent victims. Magda hopes it's just the Collins family who suffers, but she knows better.
I wonder what Edward told the law about how Jenny came to be at Collinwood, why no one ever saw her, etc.. This ep is all about waiting for the Curse. Beth sums up Quentin perfectly, maybe-- he can't stand to be alone, but doesn't actually care about the people holding his hand through life. He uses them and discards them. Good speech.
If Quentin had known Magda was waiting till the Moon was in the right place to cast the actual Curse, he could have found her and killed her too, beforehand. Quentin starts his first of many transformations. Shot of Moon, wolf howl! The end! We haven't heard one word about werewolves in 1897, I doubt it even came up in connection with Quentin in 1969, but the viewers know anyway, and the producers know they know! Was this the first hint for some viewers, though? Maybe a few were connecting the dots only now, saying oh THAT'S where Chris got it!! It's hereditary... So those babies led to Chris... I forget what it's like never to have known all this stuff. It may not be as obvious as I'm thinking.
