Doctor Woodard is certainly a different kind of doctor. He not only makes house calls, he makes them against the patient's will, without being called first! So I wonder, who does he send the bill to? Can he force Willie to be examined, have a blood test AND pay for it?
<edited by mod.> Barn is always leaving Willie to look like the unreasonable nervous nit while he looks like the helpful one, when the problem is his own doing. I didn't like how Dr. Woodard asked Barnabas to use his influence with Willie as though Willie were not a grown man capable of deciding for himself. Supposedly Barnabas is only his employer, not his father and would have no right to tell Willie to do something this personal. He hypocritically says he can't force Willie to do this, and while we know just the opposite is true, it seemed to surprise Woodard that Barn doesn't exert this much jurisdiction over Willie's life. The nature of their relationship to the outside world is of employee/employer so why are others surprised that Barn would say Willie will decide this himself?
Oh, how romantic, Jason brings Liz flowers bought with her own money! He smoothly tells her he understands that she can't give him any more money and you know he has something else in mind. What a dirtly snake!
<edited> I guess Dr. W does not see Willie as an adult but as a kid who needs someone to tell him what to do. <edited> Liz says Barnabas should order Willie to do it, and I disagree, this goes beyond the employee/employer relationship unless it was a drug test and it isn't that.
Dr. Woodard is a good doctor though, he cares about Maggie and has to be going above and beyond the call of duty to work this hard on her case.
<edited> Barnabas' story of how he and Willie met concurs with Willie's but my question is, where is Barnabas' car? If Willie had fixed it there should be two vehicles at the Old House. Willie probably drives a truck since he is always having to pick up supplies in Bangor for his work on the Old House. Are we to assume Barn drives himself to and from Bangor every day? This could be easily checked out.
Jason asks a few more questions, makes a few more observations, and as he leaves, Barnabas looks after him, and I think he's wondering how much longer he will allow this inquisitive man to live.
<edited> They are going to get married! This is not a proposal or a suggestion but a done deed by his words!
