I never noticed before that Trask called Abigail by her first name on the very first day, so there I was today, happily imagining Abigail visiting godly friends in Salem in the summer of 1795 and making Trask's acquaintance. No wonder she was so eager to uncover a witch! What better way to impress a Reverend?
Oh, gosh, when Trask told Vicky to pray, would it have killed her to say the Lord's Prayer? You can bet she knows it, having grown up in a foundling home in the 1950's. And why didn't she ask Trask for a blanket or a cape if she was going to be left outside overnight? Collinwood is always eerily warm, but I wouldn't want to count on it if I were she.
It's interesting that the Tarot cards never warned Natalie of the presence of evil in the house when she was back in Martinique. Since Angelique was a lady's maid, I assume she would have been living in the main house, and not in separate servant's quarters on the estate. I was thinking that perhaps Angelique wasn't evil back in Martinique, and that she was a nice girl until Josette stole what Angelique believed to be her man - but then I remembered Angelique boasting to Ben, and so she must have been bad at home, too. It couldn't be that the Tarot cards are hogwash, could it?
I do like reverend Trask, even though he's quite extreme, I believe his heart is in the right place. He truly wants to find the witch, and if it would have been proved that Angelique was the witch, he would have behave towards her just as he did with vicki.
If he truly wants to find the witch, why is he so careless about it? He immediately leaps to the conclusion that Abigail has fingered the correct person. We know there's a witch, and we would love to have him catch her. He doesn't come close. At this point, there's no reason for anybody to suspect Angelique - but Trask isn't even running through a list of who lives in the house and who visits the house. It's his job to get rid of the witch, and he isn't even trying. He should be reported to the Better Business Bureau.
