Very dramatic beginning to this episode, with Abigail and Trask in dramatic lighting against a stark black background in alternating rapid cuts.
And here beginneth Vicki's trial. Somehow she still thinks she will be acquitted. But she is horrified when Peter tells her about Josette's death--and how did he find out, I wonder?
Big mistakes by Vicki when she (1) tries to stop Peter from confessing that he let her out to go to Collinwood (to retrieve the Family History); and (2) begs the judges to spare him, exclaiming, I've already done enough! Of course, Trask jumps right on this.
Later, Vicki remembers that Ben told her he knew she wasn't the witch. She and Peter hope he might know who the real witch is--and that he'll testify.
Nice work by JL as the self-righteous, bullying Trask.

A. Moltke OVO - comforting.
Yeah, DarkLady, I agree, a very dramatic opening scene and as welcome as a new face. It was almost - 'artsy'. They both deserve the sinister underlighting. Vicki has quite the prison wardrobe, no? Practically a new dress everyday. That's a better average than she was hitting as Old House governess. Roger Davis has a nice ass. As for his performance - not so nice.
Countess - heart-shaped beauty mark - and according to the beauty mark chart (thanx, DL!) it proclaims that she is married.
Looks like the Peter & Vicki show is beginning. Honestly, I am okay with that, I totally ODed on Barnabas yesterday (a ghastly performance by Frid and horrible makeup). Clarice Blackburn stole this episode. The judges made me think of the Golden Girls.

Vickies cell contains part of the Collinwood basement that is already cracked. I guess it must be part of her magic. Peter reveals the trial begins today and Trask is acting like he is the D.A. I guess you can come to Collinsport and say you are qualified and everyone believes.

Lawyers didn't go to law school in those days. A young man (never a woman) who wanted to be a lawyer would more or less apprentice himself (for a hefty fee) to someone who already had a practice. That person would supervise his studies and would decide when he was qualified to practice law. I suppose that being poor, Peter couldn't afford to pay for an apprenticeship. He did the next best thing by becoming the jailer so he could work with suspects and read law in his spare time.

Thanks, DL.
