I think you're right, Lydia! The mirror will return too.

Ha ha ha, Lydia!

The scene with Laura and Burke was great. I loved how her expression changed once Burke had left.

When Vicki leaves David's room, she locks the door behind her, even though she almost certainly knows that a mere lock won't keep Laura out.

A sign of things to come! [spoiler]In the foyer at Collinwood, the wall where the portrait of Barnabas soon will appear is now empty, with only the chair beneath it. (Until this episode it held a shield with two swords crossed behind it.)[/spoiler]

I don't know if I'll ever think of David as a standard-issue boy. When David decides to go away with his mother, Vicki is alarmed, and David complains, Everyone is always watching me! And whenever I come into a room, all the adults stop talking!

For once Roger and Burke agree that they must cooperate to get David away from his mother. David is ecstatic when Burke proposes a trip, via seaplane, to a lakeside cottage--with muskies (a kind of large, freshwater pike--I had to look them up) in the lake. Burke tousles David's hair to wish him goodnight. Roger doesn't touch his son--doesn't know how, I suppose--but very kindly wishes him a good night.

But while David is having pleasant dreams upstairs, Vicki makes a horrible discovery!

Welcome from me too, MS! I look forward to seeing more of your insightful and interesting comments.

Very interesting--and not too bad either!

Yes--very scary and convincing!
