Tim Stokes is sort of murky to me. There are lots of pieces that I haven't quite put together. Thayer David makes that a good thing.
So Tim made Q fall in love with A.... Does that mean if Q now knew for a fact that she was Ang, he'd be in love again?
That was an interesting statement, wasn't it? With no follow-up. I meant to see if Sam Hall wrote this episode, because that's the sort of thing he does - drop a bombshell and then ignore it - but then I forgot. Anyway, given how our-time Angelique's love spells worked, I'm guessing that the effects of this one were transient. But it may be that the reason Quentin's acting so irrationally these days is that the spell - or whatever it was - messed permanently with his brain.
Stokes says he - Stokes - is seedy. If I were seedy, I'd be in complete denial over it - so maybe I am indeed seedy. But the thought of embracing seediness as a lifestyle perplexes me.
Earlier, we were told that it was Step-Aunt Hannah who got Angelique interested in the occult, and now we've learned that Stepfather Tim is very heavily into it as well. What was the full story there? Was there one person who got Tim and Hannah interested when they were children?
Quentin seems all set to go the our-time Roger route: wife rides off into the sunset and he doesn't worry about a divorce or a death certificate. He should be congratulating himself that she apparently isn't looking for alimony. Meanwhile, I suppose Angelique doesn't care what the legal status of Quentin and Maggie is, as long as Maggie's out of the picture. If, however, she intends to become mistress of Collinwood again, as Stokes says she does - and she didn't deny it - then she should be doing some thinking, since I figure the easiest way for her to attain her goal is for her to marry Quentin as Alexis.
Gosh, poor Julia. She and Barnabas finally meet for the first time in weeks, and all he can think about is Maggie!
