I'm grateful that the cast and crew got their shit together and produced a far superior show than the last episode. Not the best but certainly nowhere near the bottom of the heap.
Blackburn had the juicest role to play today followed by Ford, IMO, though it's almost a toss-up. Both deliciously written if not well executed -- sufficient, yet lacking. You'd think that when Angelique recounted her ordeal with Abigail to Barnabas, that he would have taken note to how much sense Abigail made. People make comments to the earth's end about how stupid or dumb Vicki is but Barnabas is as much an idiot as any other clueless character on the show. The Dumbass list is quite long, IMO.
With all due respect to DarkLady's memory, for me the exchange between Lt. Saus...I mean, Nathan & Barn was filler as it seemed to serve no real purpose at all and it also wasn't that well executed - geez - did I use the word superior in reference to this episode?
MT, yeah, you'd think that it would behoove Ange to give the witchcraft a rest, but Ange's still using witchcraft in the new house does seem to still be working to her advantage, as Ange is on her way to getting everything she's been witching so hard to get. Silly witch.
Random notes: Sausage fest indeed, MT, (you had me rollin'!) and might I add that Jerimiah made out a lot better in death than life in that department. I don't know if Barns room is Carolyn's but that's a pretty snazzy fireplace, especially for a bedroom. Why the hell are the duPres still there? Does anyone think that the character of Joshua still thinks he will get the sugar cane contract from the duPres? I know he mentioned that Jerimiah's fortune now belongs to Josette, but...I don't know, I would think the duPres would have hightailed it out of there. I mean as far as they're concerned their bad luck started after they arrived at the Collins' estate. (And you'd think that Andre would have thrown a 'back attcha' in Abigail's face.) Ange seems to fear Abigail more than anyone else to date, lol. Any guesses as to why Jerimiah doesn't physically speak as opposed to mental telepathy speaking?
