Clarice Blackburn owns this episode. I want to thank her for committing so much to DS when others found it so hard to. Good for Mrs. Johnson, getting right in there and grappling with Joe. Then when it makes no difference, she's forced to stand there while it continues, ineffectually, in horror. That shows us a very strange and real sort of moment.
What does Roger tug on absent-mindedly, a sort of red sash hanging on the wall to the left of the fireplace? What could that thing be and what purpose could it possibly serve? So there was a Jonah Collins, born in 1840. No there wasn't. A kid of Gabriel's maybe? Did his kids have names?
Poor, befuddled, out-of-her-depth Mrs. J.. Why is Joe in the mausoleum? Why does Roger think Liz can be squeezed in amongst ancient relatives from another century, who presumably planned it all for three known bodies and one unknown? Why does Roger think all the town will be talking because they build another very average-looking mausoleum (do the town gossips hang out there?), and why would working on the present one be less conspicuous? I thought there was Eagle Hill five miles away with that one Collins mausoleum, and the Collins cemetary on the estate for everyone else. Maybe I got that from a 1991 series estate map though.
