Whoops, I did mean Will, of course! But I agree that this storyline started out with incredible promise that was squandered because they filmed HoDS at the same time. One wonders what might have been if they hadn't done the movie--or at least not then.

So I guess we can safely (as it were) assume that the yellow tent dress (also called a caftan) was one of those "fashions courtesy of Ohrbach's." Oy, oy, oy!

I loved that black-velvet-and-pearls look for Elizabeth. I was always happy when they brought something back that resembed that gown in the first two episodes.

I think David is treating himself to milk AND pie because he's so pleased with how cleverly he has managed to dispose of Vicki.

For the first time, Elizabeth is wearing that awful yellow hostess gown that will figure so prominently--and in color, no less--in HoDS. Her hair looks great, though. When she worries about David and Vicki, Carolyn tells her not to get one of her premonitions--this is the first and last we hear that Elizabeth has them!

Elizabeth reminisces about the parties at Collinwood when she was young--presumably they were hosted by [spoiler]her father, Jamison[/spoiler]. No doubt he enjoyed the treasure hunts in all the rooms of the West Wing before the rooms were closed off fifty years ago. [spoiler]I never thought about it before, but maybe he closed them off as a cost-saving measure--maybe after the crash of 1929?[/spoiler]

Speaking of fifty years ago, David entertains Vicki with a story of a girl who was trapped in the West Wing and not found for fifty years. He gloats, By then she was dead bones!

When Vicki is gazing out the french windows at the storm, David comes in and tells her that his father has gone out and they are alone in the house. Where can Elizabeth possibly be??!!

Later in the episode, Joe "resigns from being an idiot" and gets ready for his dinner date with Maggie.

David is stunned that his father lied for him to Vicki. Later, though when he (D.) declares his intention of getting revenge, Roger says merely, That’s a matter that should be settled between the two of you. He thereby throws Vicki on David’s tender mercies, and David takes that as license to do whatever he wants. Evidently Roger is still afraid she’ll blab about The PEN and may be hoping that his charming son will scare her into leaving and save him from having to bribe her into a quick departure.

I suppose Roger was surveying the grounds of the real Seaview. Once again, he is wearing his Inverness cape.

Later, he buries The PEN in a shallow grave.

Maggie invites Joe over for dinner. He says he'll think about it. What's to think about??!! Later, he teasingly tells Maggie that the deserted part of Collinwood--mentioned here for the first time!--is teeming with ghosts, dark corridors and dead people.

So guess where David wants to take Vicki?
 

I ackowledge the wisdom of those who are more knowledgeable than I am. I hope Mrs. J's daughter didn't marry someone like her brother.
