Current Talk '13 I / Re: Discuss - Ep #0388

I am totally fascinated with the way Josette is being written lately. She’s so complex with so many possibilities to explain her actions. Pride, loyalty, lost love, shame, her true nature, stubbornness, defiance, the spell -- why is she acting this way and saying the things she is saying? Maybe she is just 'human'. Perhaps I am looking for rationale in an irrational situation. I was most impressed with the scene where Barn questions Josette. I have to admit, by scene's end I was scratching my head in confusion - but in a good way.
There’s so much going on in this episode. Nathan's integrity is tested, and his station threatened, both by Trask. Nathan updates Barn on Vicki's locale and wellbeing and admits that he is having second thoughts regarding protecting Vicki. Ange does her best to turn Barn against Vicki. Ange goes in for the kill (or kiss, lol) once she goads Barn into claiming he hates Josette (as much as he hates Jeremiah). Trask attempts to exorcise Josette of the evil spell he believes Vicki has cast upon her, much to the horror of Barn who stops it and dismisses Trask. Barn is now alone with Josette and unfortunately for the entire household, this leads to Barn eventually, and for the second time, rejecting Ange's love, and as we've come to expect, this causes Ange to go on the warpath -- this time setting her sights on another innocent, Sarah.
Random thoughts: Anyone think anything of the 'effect' of Trask through the flames? A not-so-subtle statement perhaps? I found it interesting. Is Trask's coercing of Nathan in this episode our first indication that he (Trask) will fight 'dirty' to get his way? I've always wondered if the pitchfork brand appearing and disappearing has any real significance. If not, then why bother? Parker turns in another outstanding performance.
