What I like about this episode is that we get to see just how close Barnabas and Jeremiah are. It's evident Jeremiah is very worried and distraught over Barnabas's strange affliction.

I liked Josette's lines at the beginning of the episode.   She didn't use contractions: she said "I cannot" instead of "I can't" and she said "I do not" instead of "I don't."  Kathryn Leigh Scott delivered the lines with notable clarity, so that, even without a French accent, the impression came across that English was a foreign language to her, and that she was making an effort to speak correctly. Then the contractions came in - "I don't understand" - and the illusion was lost.

I noticed the same thing, and thought it added to her character.

Angelique sounded very vicious in this episode when she whispered to herself for Josette to hold Barnabas close while she still can, because he won't be hers much longer. It gave me chills.

Also, I like this episode because we discover the tiniest bit about Barnabas's childhood, that he played with toy soldiers, and that they were his favorite toy to play with.

I felt a bit sorry for Angelique, having to walk quite some distance from the stalled carriage to the house with it storming so terribly. I realize she's a maid and that such menial tasks are expected of her, but I still felt a little bad for her.

I thought I should clarify my previous post. I don't feel sorry for Angelique as a person, but only because she was made to walk in such a storm. As for Angelique, no I don't feel sorry for her, after all, she brought so much grief to the Collins family.

All right, now I don't mean to be rude, but Vicki is acting really dumb in this episoe. I realize she's trying to reassure Barnabas by telling him that Josette will arrive safely, but come on, she's making herself look suspicious to say the least. She can't even offer Barnabas an explanation for her reasons.

I felt a bit sorry for Angelique, having to walk quite some distance from the stalled carriage to the house with it storming so terribly. I realize she's a maid and that such menial tasks are expected of her, but I still felt a little bad for her.

Joshua was so irritated by the countess, and I think Naomi's lack of reaction to her infuriated him all the more. The countess wouldn't be someone I'd want as a houseguest, pleasing her would be near to impossible.

Spoiler:

Upon seeing this for the first time, I really thought a relationship would develop between Jeremiah and Vicki. Alas, it wasn't to be.

I like how Jeremiah is so willing to help Vicki, even if he thinks she's a bit odd. Vicki did show some intelligence in this episode, when Jeremiah asks how she knew who he was, she comments that she heard Mrs. Collins mention him.

I thought it was extremely rude of Joshua to threaten to send Naomi to her room if she didn't stop talking disrespectfully to Abigail, as if she was a misbehaving child! Poor Naomi, married to Joshua, that's got to be miserable.

I can't imagine how how Vickie would have been so dumb.

I don't think at this point in the story Vicki is behaving "dumb". I mean, it isn't every day one gets transported back in to the past and confronted by total strangers who by all appearances should know you.

I thought it was rather amusing when Nathan tells Vicki he'll be Joe if that's who she wants him to be.  ;D

Many people say Vicki is much too nice and sweet, but she shows a bit of metal when she slaps Nathan for making improper advances towards her.

I wonder if the writers consciously chose the last names of the governesses, Vicki Winters and Philis Wick both beginning with W. If so, it sets the bewildered Vicki up nicely with an excuse,, Wick, Winters, they're easily confused if you've been in a carriage accident.

Roger laments to Liz that they shouldn't have brought David home. Well, what was he going to do, keep David in Boston indefinitely?

Roger is very undecided on his opinions on seances.

Spoiler:

When Barnabas hosts the costume party, Roger is quite eager to hold a seance.Now in this episode he claims he doesn't like seances. And yet again when Barnabas expresses his skepticism over having one, Roger admits that something interesting just might happen. I wish Roger would make up his mind, either he approves of seances, or he doesn't.  ;D

When Phillis Wick arrives, she asks if this is Collinwood, and Roger affirms that it is, and enlightened, she says she's the new governess to Sarah. But Collinwood was still in the latter stages of being built, so she couldn't have thought herself to be at Collinwood, she would have to be at the Old House.  ???

I love how N.B. and A.M. played the roles of Sarah so well.

This episode heralds all the fascinating events to come, the time traveling back to the past was an excellent idea!  8)
