This ep ends the first half of the 1897 story. Yay, the halfway point. And arguably, with the introduction of Aristede, it also marks a major turning point-- one that many fans might consider the point at witch the storyline starts to collapse under its own weight.
It also has the final appearance of Minerva. Clarice's future appearances will be too few and far between.
A camera is visible behind Evan in the drawing room.
Edward needs to stay at home more. I'm just sayin'.
A gun totin' Reverend!
Minerva: "Does this bustle make my butt look big?"
J/K
Gregory to Evan: "Master of Collinwood. With this paper, no one can dispute it."
later: "I am ... sole guardian of the estate. Unless your paper has a loophole in it."
Judith was under the influence of a fast-acting sedative when she signed-- one that Greg administered. I don't know about 1897, but nowadays that contract wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on.
I think the voice that says "Jesus" belongs to Jerry Lacy. And I hear at least one other female voice and it sounds an awful lot to me like Joan Bennett.
As Judith is led to the tower room, she's hearing voices. But how interesting that although she mistakes the conjured Minerva for a servant, she believes the woman is warning her to beware of early Spring berries because they might be poisonous. Since nightshade berries are most poisonous while they're unripe (did not know that til I just now looked it up), is Judith recalling what the real specter of Minerva previously told her, or is the real Minerva still getting through to her now?
Replay of Quentin entering Collinwood through a wide open front door. Unlocked is bad enough, but wide open?
Hmm, I'm sure Quentin opened it himself both times.
Did anyone else notice he reversed the lyrics? He said calling me to you, not calling you to me.
Thanks! I noticed it didn't rhyme with
falling silently and thought WTH?
Hmm, that line of hers, “she thinks I stole from her”. Apparently she thinks she stole Minerva’s husband – or she may just be remembering Jenny’s green dress.
LOL I'm glad the voiceover explained that Judith "has a name she feels no right to." Thank you, Vi.
And Sy Thomashoff is apparently taking a break, replaced by John Dapper.
