I wanna say that the opening voice-over was a little corny but I don't remember it because this episode blew me away. It's my second favorite to date. It was exciting and engrossing. I don't think Carolyn is in love with Joe. Since last episode I've been wondering what Joe wanted to talk about. I figured it was Burke. I didn't remember it was about the promotion. Poor Joe, Carolyn cut him down at the knees twice. Third time's the charm as we'll learn in time. Joan has one of her better days if I remember correctly. She had nothing but great scenes to act today. I was on the edge of my seat. Especially when Joe told Liz about Burke Devlin. Now that we know she knows we want to know. Obviously Burke wants to know as well.

Another great opening voiceover. Having started watching during the Petofi period, seeing sets such as the kitchen (or is it more a ? ) and the basement is still a thrill for me. The storage room appears to have some great significance. We get a sense of the better/softer side of Liz in this episode. Her talk with David and Mathew's Liz speech make her out to be a good person with a bad secret or two. How can we not think Vicki is one of them. Of course she keeps denying it. And quite well to Vicki's face. Vicki and Carolyn have a conversation without Carolyn blowing up, lol. Apparently David & Roger hate each other. Come to think of it, no one likes Roger but Carolyn. What surprises me more than Mathew being unaware of Vicki's presence at Collinwood is that Vicki knows how to drive! Orphanage/NYC? Not likely.

I've never noticed before but this cover foto looks like it was taken during my fave Barn photo shoot at the Spratt Mansion!

Carolyn meets Vicki. I'm trying to decide if Carolyn is immature or bi-polar? Cute dialogue between the two. It's odd to me that Carolyn's never heard of Burke Devlin. It wouldn't be odd to learn that she'd been sheltered from the goings-on regarding the accident and trial. But unless it all happened over summer vacation surely school would have been abuzz with the gossip or at least whispers and finger pointing. Maggie certainly was aware it.
We meet Bill Malloy. I've never cared for this character. Good actor though. Joe gets to formally meet Burke and Burke sets his plan to destroy the Collins clan into action. I'd like to know who it was that called Burke to warn him that Malloy was on his way. I'm wondering if I'm watching edited episodes. Joe is coming across as a decent guy so far.
There's a word for people like Roger Collins but I can't seem to come up with it. He's certainly unlikable and untrustworthy. And I can't decide if Maggie doesn't like him or if she is just suspicious of him. I don't know if it's the acting or if the writing is to blame. Maybe it's me.
As stated above we now know Maggie's father figures into this mess between Burke and the Collins'. And he doesn't seem to fit into the good side of things.
I wonder at this point if we are supposed to wonder if it's a ghost or know that it's David. Carolyn makes it clear it's David at episode's end.

Excellent comments above...my thoughts exactly. Lol, MB, I smiled when Liz mentioned and then brought in tea. I was eager to mention that tea had been established as the house beverage in this episode though we see Roger's drink of choice is on the opposite end of the spectrum.
We meet Carolyn and Joe. Carolyn, unlikable as first soon earns our sympathy, poor little rich girl. Joe gets our sympathy from the get-go. The boy next door and the fire eater. The writing's on the wall there. Burke laughingly gets established as a real tough guy who needs but one glance to gain control over a bar fight. With powers like that and the money to back them up there's little doubt he'll be able to take down the mighty Collins family.
Collinwood has 40 rooms and no help to speak of. I hope Vicki likes housework. Vicki gets Liz's old room. I guess they don't make mattresses like they used to. It appears the drawing room looks out over the sea. I liked how they used Vicki looking out the window to segue into the opening title. Seeing Vicki on Widows Hill from below with Roger approaching is awesome. Vicki meets Roger. Great scene. Poor Liz obviously has her own demons.
