DarkLady, I think Mrs. Johnson goes, or else plans to go, to stay with her daughter for a while in 1968, when she's feeling stressed by [spoiler]the dream curse.[/spoiler]
Mrs. Johnson was quite two-faced today – one face for Mrs. Stoddard and one for Burke Devlin. I did wonder, though, if she exaggerated her negative feelings about Mrs. Stoddard and Collinwood in order to placate Burke.
Once Mrs. Johnson settles in at Collinwood, we could have some fine coffee-and-cigarette-break conversations between her and Matthew. Will they end up as allies or rivals?
