Poor Tessie from New Bedford (doesn't a Forum cousin live there?) had to do the replay without her plum-colored lipstick. Oh the horror!
There's no sign of a redeemed Quentin here. The werewolf sought to mutilate her, but it was a human Quentin that left her in the woods, bleeding and exposed to the elements, and that delayed her much-needed medical attention. The wolf did the mauling, but couldn't it be said that Quentin I-didn't-do-it-it-wasn't-me Collins was responsible for her death? And as if that's not bad enough, he terrorized Charity to prevent her from speaking about what happened and threatened to kill her if she told his secret.
The presence of a phone on the drawing room table lets us know that a telephone will become important in the ep. (!) Charity was understandably upset over the idea of marrying Quentin, but the sobbing and hysteria seemed a bit much for someone who is desperate to keep the truth hidden.
And Gregory was suspicious of Quentin's involvement (with good reason!) yet he left him alone with Tessie.
I'm guessing that her death was from traumatic shock. But I'm surprised that no mention was made of a transfusion to replace her blood loss. (Not that transfusions had been made safe yet, but they didn't even try.)
Charity to Quentin, at the start of the ep: "I know. I know."
Same people, but at the end: "You killed her. You killed her. I'm going to tell. I'm going to tell Father everything. Everything."

In the reenactment Charity is standing right over Quentin and doesn't seem to see him. The jam faced girl now speaks and says Quentin.
on the jam face. Both things happened at the end of the previous ep, btw.
Did Nancy Barrett have a "screaming clause" in her contract while she was playing Charity or what? I swear, everytime she comes on the screen I have to lower the volume so my neighbors won't think something untoward is happening in my house and sic the cops on me!
LOL This time I let my dog outside first, heh.
