We never do learn the names of Edith's son and daughter-in-law, who were Judith, Quentin, Edward, and Carl's parents. They seem to have died quite a long time ago, maybe when the four sibs were children.
[spoiler]Interesting question about 1840 Edith and Gabriel. I suspect that after murdering his wife, poor 1840 Daniel was too insane to tell anyone anything.[/spoiler]
Here's what I have on Quentin's rooms as they were in 1897: In the bedroom, i.e., the inner room, Quentin grips the will in one hand and the not yet antique phone in the other. [In those days, they had only party lines, so anyone in town could have listened in!] Can you talk? he asks Evan. [Yup, he actually says it!] I have the will--and I get nothing, he says in disgust. The gypsy was right. You must alert your man tonight so we can get started, he insists. Barnabas knocks on the outer door and identifies himself. Quentin tells Evan he has to go, hangs up and pockets the will. He walks from the bedroom into the former storage room. Now, in 1897, it’s a kind of library with bookcases along the walls and a table in the middle--and lets Barnabas in.
Barn tells Quentin, I think Edith is still here on this earth, Barnabas replies. Where I come from [Does he mean 1795? Or 1968?], there's a theory that when someone dies with business unfinished, their spirit lingers to finish it.
Barn meets Rachel and is captivated by yet another likeness of Josette. He tells about the "original" Barn, Josette, and Jeremiah, although he keeps his face turned from Rachel.
Quentin's rooms are trashed and he blames Barnabas by saying that Barn did more than a ghost should. Quentin knows this how? And do we ever find out who actually did the trashing? If it was Edith, she has acquired quite a bit of energy in the afterlife!
Dirk and Beth have another fight. Gosh, is he a boor. Was DC trying for a bit of Lady Chatterley's Lover?
Quentin hears the heartbeat.
