I kind of like the way Alejandra left the series.  She literally "exited stage left," never to be seen again.  Sad though.

Wow, you can sure feel "transition" written all over this episode, with an old storyline wrapping up and a new one just beginning to unwrap.  Also, I counted no fewer than nine names in the closing credits today.  Is that a record for never-more-than-five-actors-at-a-time Dan Curtis?

Once again, a character is able to singlehandedly lift a coffin out of a 6-foot deep hole, after of course digging through all that dirt with a simple shovel.

Did I mishear or did the jailor call her Gloria Winters?

That line about trees losing their leaves in the fall struck me as strange since that never seemed to happen to the trees in Collinsport.  Despite their being in Maine, the trees seemed to hang onto their leaves year-round.

I'm a bit confused as to why we were led to believe that Barnabas and Julia were at the Old House when they were in the main house all along.  At first, I thought Julia's room might have been Barnabas' at the OH.  I'm just not sure why the writers wrote it that way since it really didn't add anything to the story and, in fact,  added a note of unnecessary confusion to the whole scenario.

The scene with Adam listening behind the door was well played, on the part of both Adam and Carolyn. 

I wonder how the other actors felt when one of the cast obviously hadn't studied the script sufficiently the night before.  After all, it wasn't as if the unschooled one was going down in flames alone.  I can imagine an always-prepared Astredo thinking to himself in a scene such as this one, "Why do I have to be surrounded by such rank amateurs?  It's my reputation, too, they're bringing down with them in this scene, dammit!".

Nancy Barrett does some of her best acting in this episode.  I love her coolness in her scenes with Barnabas - forceful yet understated at one and the same time.
