Quentin's divorce: In the Collinwood universe, maybe divorce laws were different. I'm just as puzzled as you are, Lydia, because Q. could probably prove that Samantha had committed bigamy at least, if not outright adultery.

It was nice to see Barn so utterly bewildered at not finding Julia--although of course he will never admit to us, let alone to himself, why he feels that way. As for transfusing her, maybe Barnabas will simply give her the Collins Universal Restorative--a brandy.

The scene with Barn and Laszlo was fantastic!

And somehow Quentin's realization that Daphne is "the sister of Joanna Mills" has resulted in her suddenly wearing a new dress and a different hairstyle! 

Sounds great--thanks for the heads-up! But I hope you'll remind us more forgetful members....

Quentin actually puts down his drink when he runs out of the drawing room to help his father! 

We can see that Daphne is beginning to be distracted from her mission. It seems she is actually trying to understand Quentin and reacts to his parents' story with horror--even while still planning to kill him with her teeny little derringer.

Magnus, I do like your theory about the Quentins and love. Makes sense to me. Neither of them actually dumps the previous girlfriend but simply seems to forget her completely. And I do like that little bit of spooky music too.

The real casualty in all of this, of course, is poor Daniel--my heart goes out to him on account of Louis Edmonds' splendid portrayal. I wonder if Daniel ever had any real happiness in his life, aside from the time Ben coached him on what to take with him when running away from home--and that was way back in 1795/6/7....

It's too bad, too, that Storm and Vestoff's 1841 PT incarnations dropped out of sight after a couple of episodes.

Yes--I did love VV's pretty green frock. It really set off her hair and complexion.

Poor Julia! I'll bet she wishes she could dash in and out of the foyer instead of being Roxanne's victim. (BTW, Roxanne's feral beauty is stunning.) And no doubt she's remembering how parallel Angelique nearly killed her in parallel 1970.

Some episodes do seem to be more action packed than others, don't they? I suppose it depended on which day of the week they were aired, with Fridays and Mondays being busier than the mid-week days.

Poor Barn! He knows that staking Roxanne will give her peace, yet he can't bear the thought of it.

Whatever her faults, Samantha proves she is a loyal sister by refusing to let Trask give the eulogy at Roxanne's funeral.

Fabulous scene with Angelique/Valerie/Miranda versus Julia. Kudos to both ladies!

And special kudos to Donna Wandrey, who allowed Makeup to transform her into a vampire of unearthly beauty! (At least she isn't stuck wearing that hideous orange disaster.)

Daniel and Miranda don't seem to be in Ep. 1141--? But Gerard is really mean to poor little Carrie, isn't he.
