Wow, it appears Julia really did decide to stay in the empty PT room forever.
Angelique clearly loves her son, in a good way. She had a lovely smile on her face as Daniel talked about hearing his mother whispering in the conch shell. What did she want for him? He's a very nice kid around her, but he wasn't a very nice kid at all around Maggie. He's got some of his mother's meanness. Is that something Angelique would encourage in him?
Based on the dream Daniel had in which he kept begging his mother to not laugh at him (#991), I'm assuming that he was the target of some of her meanness while she was alive.
Ah, so that's where Jeremiah's portrait has been-- hanging over the fireplace in Loomis House. We know that PT Jeremiah and Josette didn't marry, but since his painting doesn't have the preeminent location it had in RT (over the drawing room fireplace), does this mean that Jeremiah also had absolutely nothing to do with building Collinwood?
Okay, taking advantage of the closeup of the new portrait, here is a screen capture of the missing painting from late in Leviathans next to a cap from this episode:

I think the original resembles JF more.
Hoffman: "I can't!" (before fleeing the seance)
I thought that was a clever way to remove the character from the cliffhanger since she doesn't appear in the next ep.
Anthony Sacco played the caped guest at the seance, though his full head of hair did not match the actor he was standing in for. I think he also stood in as Peter Bradford's ghost; maybe they should have put a sombrero on him in this ep too. ;)
