Digressing from the theme of the slideshow but still in keeping with the screen capture for Sunday's quote and the one on July 24th, I don't believe we've ever talked about Angelique's wedding gown, or rather the one that Naomi provides Angelique with after her encounter with Jeremiah's ghost ruins her original gown:
Does it look familiar? It should because it's the same gown that during the Barnabas kidnapping Maggie plot we were led to believe was Josette's wedding gown and we often saw Maggie dressed in it.
It's so funny when Angelique comments to Naomi about how plain the gown is when it was supposed to be so magnificent when we saw Maggie wearing it. Magnificent enough that Josette even wears it in her portrait.
One has to wonder what Angelique would have thought if she had known the gown was supposedly what Josette was going to wear to marry Barnabas. Would she have been horrified? Or would she have felt it was perfect poetic justice that she should wear it to marry Barnabas? Though, of course, Angelique hadn't seen Josette's portrait before she married Barnabas because it hadn't arrived yet (despite the fact that we mistakenly see it hanging over the mantle in Josette's room when we first see the room in 1795 in Ep #374, but thankfully it's been replaced when next Josette's room is seen in Ep #377 and in subsequent eps
). Plus, despite how we were led to believe it had been Josette's wedding gown, when Josette dresses for her rushed marriage to Barnabas she wears an entirely different gown.
But of course I presume we're not supposed to notice that. And given what DC thought of the audience, no doubt he thought everyone in the audience was too dumb to notice the difference, if he even thought of it at all!
Though the fact that Josette did wear a different gown is a perfect reason why it never would have entered Angelique's mind that Naomi had presented her with what was supposedly Josette's wedding gown...
