Ah, the old rotary-dial phones! And the old exchanges YUkon 8 and LExington 2, with words instead of prosaic numbers. Those really take me back.

From these early days on, Carolyn's most striking piece of jewelry is a cameo pendant, which I believe she wears throughout the run of the show.

Despite Burke's excited phone call to his subordinate, it's hard to see that anything is actually happening.

Thanks!

Roger has taken the painkillers Dr. Reeves gave him. But being a Collins, he has a drink the moment he enters the house.

Elizabeth loved her father very much and he died over twenty years ago about the time Vickie was born.  Could there be a connection?  So Roger was probably a minor when his father died, but apparently left him no money or if he did it was gone by the time Liz had to pension him off to Augusta ten years ago.

Another interesting connection with Elizabeth and twenty years ago.

Roger did have money, but at one point [spoiler]he confesses that he frittered it all away. I think we're meant to infer that that's partly why he came back to Collinwood--he's basically broke[/spoiler].

It's pretty clear (to me anyway) that Elizabeth's prime directive has always been her love for Carolyn. She will do ANYTHING to protect her, even at a terrible cost to herself. I think Elizabeth also loves Roger, but if he was away at school they probably aren't all that close. But she's definitely in older sister mode!

Ah, yes, the famous Wilhelm scream! Even though we don't hear it on the show, [spoiler]there's plenty of screaming to come[/spoiler]. 

In their first conversation after introducing themselves, "Miss Winters" and "Mr. Haskell" discuss ghosts.

The Petofi box is still on the chest in the hallway, probably with no inkling of its future glory.

When preparing to go out with Joe, Carolyn decides her dress is too long and schoolgirlish and changes to a tighter, shorter, sleeveless dress. Maybe that's what rattled Joe so much that when they arrive at the BW, he's forgotten the umbrella he brought to Collinwood.

The West Wing! The West Wing!!!
