Regarding Nancy's comments:

Baby Barnabas and the hills of Albania--now there's the makings of a story line! 

David and Roger arrived at Collinwood only recently, so David would hardly have known Bill at all. So the idea of Bill's death is probably fairly abstract for him, except for his hope that his father will be arrested.

On the other hand, Carolyn has lived her whole life at Collinwood, so Bill would have known her from the time she was an infant.

 

Maggie wears a different waitress cap, even though it's the same day.

The whole business of Burke's shocked reaction does seem contrived.

The sheriff gets interested in tidal charts.

Now Vicki suspects that Roger knows something about her past and doesn't want to tell her. Really, Vicki, it isn't ALL about you!

At the BW, Sam has whiskey with a beer chaser.

In Vicki's room, Carolyn tells Vicki that Bill's dream was to spend a month on a desert island, but now he'll never be able to. Elizabeth arrives to ask Carolyn to go into town to find Roger. Carolyn stops on her way out of the room to give her mother a hug. As the interaction between mother and daughter gets more emotional, poor, forgotten Vicki, who has turned away to give them privacy, seems to get smaller and smaller with painful loneliness--nice bit by Alexandra Moltke!

Once again, all by itself in the drawing room, the Collins Family History opens up to the page with Josette's picture. We can see that Josette is dressed in a vaguely 1830s style. Then the camera pulls back to show that Carolyn opened it!  

Today's statistic: There were 130 beds at the foundling home.

I'm sure poor Sam can't afford to have a lawyer, hence the hotel safe.

It would have been fun to have some outdoor action scenes on the show. Or even just one person wearing a wet slicker and a sou'wester.

I think that Elizabeth's first-name basis with the local constabulary is just an example of her high status as Mistress of Collinwood. They might even have been in grade school together, for all we know.
