[spoiler]In the Collins universe at any rate, the apples didn't fall far from the tree!  [/spoiler]

Proper, indeed! Carolyn's mix of boldness and naivete is alarming.

Poor Sam freaks out when he phones Collinwood and realizes Burke is there.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth sends Carolyn to get cream for Burke's drink (a White Russian?), but she comes back with ice.

That's all I have for now.

Still haven't found what I went looking for!

Don't worry--it'll be in the last place you look! 

sometimes she had very elaborate eye makeup but she never wore lipstick either. always a nude lip.

If it had been a few years earlier, she would have worn white lipstick! 

Nice little exchange between Elizabeth and David on the subject of teacups and poltergeists:

Elizabeth: David, things don’t happen that way.
David: They do here. Lots of things happen here.

A few minutes later, she becomes his ally, hurrying to the rescue when Roger starts to shake David. Nothing daunted, Roger is already establishing the Collins tradition of heavy drinking.

And yes, I agree that the show is already edging toward the supernatural....

We may still be waiting for Vicki to say, I don't understand. But we are already up to our second Collinsport Fly, which lands on the back of the sofa in Burke's room! 

No switchboard operator indeed! I suppose poor Mr. Wells can't be everywhere at once. Maybe we should cut him a little slack. But the lack of a switchboard operator gives us the opportunity for (at last!) something like a cliffhanger ending!

Carolyn boasts to Vicki that Burke wanted to "paddle" her last night--oh, those 1960s manners and morals!

It seems that in the whole wide world, Bill Malloy is the only living person besides Roger who calls Elizabeth by her first name. That is certainly a measure of her isolation. Clearly (to me anyway) Bill is in love with the boss.

Meanwhile, Vicki still hasn't done one lick of governessing.

I find it amazing now that Joe will be earning a whole $25 more per week!   

Does anyone know what a "checker" did/does in the fleet office? I suppose this promotion is Elizabeth's way of keeping Joe on shore and out of danger. Ocean fishing is the most dangerous occupation--mining is no. 2.
