When Burke went to visit Sam, Sam already had two cups ready for coffee--was he anticipating the visit?
Good old Dark Shadows. Happens all the time. I guess I can see the reason for it in this case, maybe: it might have diluted the tension if Burke had had to go to the kitchen to get himself a cup. On the other hand, Burke could have grabbed Sam's coffee cup from him and told him to go get his own damned cup. Meanwhile, I was trying to decide if those cups were the cups we see in some later episodes. It's hard for me to tell, because the later episodes are in color. The stripes looked the same, but these cups looked smaller.
Finally we get an idea of why Joe didn't dump Carolyn long ago, and we also get Burke showing his unpleasant side to Carolyn, so it seems to be less of a foregone conclusion that Joe and Carolyn will break up. Is this because of the new writer?
Two diners in the diner. Maggie might get some tips today.
Not if she's in the habit of abandoning her customers to go talk to her Pop.
Is the phone booth now a permanent resident in the coffeeshop? And will we ever see Mr. Wells again?
