This just was not Barnabas' night, was it?
Plans A (Jamison will be convinced to not believe what Dirk told him),
B (Beth will prevent Jamison from telling the secret to Edward),
C (Dirk will stay on the sofa until he can recover his strength),
D (Dirk will be kept under the vampire's control),
E (Dirk will tell Jamison he was lying),
F (Dirk will recover his strength in the secret room),
G (Edward will be convinced to not believe Jamison),
H (Beth will sit with Dirk until his death) and
I (Dirk will be under Barnabas' supervision when he rises as a vampire) did not come to pass.
Since according to Barnabas, Dirk had to "do what I ask you to do," I sure wish the vampire had asked him to stop overacting. Sheesh.
Jamison said a few eps ago that he liked to play in the Old House basement, yet the way he looked over it here seemed to not gibe with that.
Beth: "He's going to die. ... Oh no."
Was she really grieving for Dirk, as Barnabas said? Or was she troubled that his death would mess up Barnabas' plan? Because I would swear that in the last ep, she said she was okay with Barnabas doing
whatever he needed to do to stop Dirk from talking.
Interesting that a servant would refer to the Collinwood drawing room as the "living room."
Barnabas: "I don't know what to say, Jamison."
Well, for starters you could call him Edward, cuz that's who's in the room with you.
I wonder if David H was supposed to fall coming up the cellar steps??
He slid his foot backwards right after taking a step with it and dropped where he stood, so yes, the fall was intentional.
I LOVE that couch that Dirk is on.
I like that the seats on the ends slant inward. If DS' set choices are any indication, the Victorians were very adept at designing furniture that promoted conversation.
Poor Beth wrapped up in all these crazy shenanigans!
Speaking of Beth wrapped up (bad segue, I know), there's a terrible storm out and the best coverup she can find is a shawl?
Seems that chomping on the kid for some reason never crosses Barn’s mind. Odd, since he was all gung ho to kill David before the 1795 time travel intervened.
Noooo. Jamison is key to the future of the Collins family. And, prior to Vicki's trip into the past, Barnabas was not the self-appointed family protector.
