Wow, what a great episode. I was totally engrossed. At this point, Natalie's sarcasm towards Vicki seems a bit misplaced. Natalie & Josette browse the family history. The all-wise Natalie rationalizes as she reads so as not to upset Josette. Josette ends up freaked anyway. Natalie trying to convince Josette to ignore the book because it's wrong sounds a bit ridiculous but I guess I'd do the same thing under the same set of circumstances. (Of course the fact that Vicki arrived with the book in-hand in the first place is ludicrous, but I digress.) The one thing that Natalie reads that is a comfort to Josette is that Barn lives and goes to England to live. The whole segment was quite fascinating to watch. I liked it.
Joshua comforts Naomi and they both try to comfort Barnabas. It is all quite touching. Frid's still acting up a storm. Edmonds is off the charts too. Is this the first time Joshua has absolutely no pompousness in his voice? Frid & KLS also tear it up. I love their scene together. Barnabas dies but not before he tells Josette how much he loves her -- I wish it would have been in Josette's arms.
The bat scene in the drawing room with Natalie & Naomi is atrocious but the whole damn foolishness is saved by Joshua's confirmation to Naomi that Barn has died. I teared up.
Josette and Natalie -- Another fantastic scene -- very well done -- very touching.
Joshua & Naomi -- Nicely written. Interesting conversation. Enter Natalie & Josette. Joshua decides to keep Barn's death a secret and to protect that secret will announce to the town that Barn has left Collinsport on a business trip to England. This of course raises the hairs on the back of Natalie's & Josette's necks. Perfect ending to the episode.
I loved this episode.
