Ed Riley is a trooper for spending as much time as he did under the peat moss.
Sandor, I hear you and though we jest, I think the only thing creepier than zombie Davenport was the possibility that there could be oceans of creatures just like him. His appearance saved the ep from being a total snoozefest.
Jeb reanimates Davenport, sends him to Collinwood, then shows up on the scene himself to talk crazy talk to Carolyn about their marriage tomorrow. What's Davenport there for, to carry Carolyn away in case she refuses? He seems stuck there with nothing to do.
I don't think Davenport was sent there. We saw him rise and just start walking, ending up at Collinwood and hiding when he heard Carolyn, and then, perhaps instinctively, he followed Jeb back to the Antique Shop where he was greeted and instructed for what seemed like the first time.
When Carolyn was hostile to Jeb on the terrace, did he by any chance think to himself, "Barnabas may not have been entirely incorrect in his reasoning when he said Friday was too soon for the wedding"? No, of course he didn't.
I'm still trying to get past the fact that he never once considered that he was the one responsible for Carolyn's mental state.
and I doubt that Barnabas consulted with Julia, either.
I assumed it was where he got the poison, since Magda is no longer around to serve that purpose.
No stopper on the crystal decanter?
