Why go to the Old House? Because Peter's brain hasn't activated yet? Well, Ben could dress a wound as it turns out. *** Things are at least vaguely going Nathan's way; he should be happier. Maybe it hasn't fully hit him yet, but scamming a family while living in their midst and hanging out with them every hour, soaking in contempt every moment, isn't as much fun as it might sound on paper, unless you have a pair made of titanium like Jason McGuire's. Crothers is good at conveying Nathan's just-barely-concealed total contempt and self-absorption, though. I'd feel like I was in danger of soaking in the malevolence just being in the same room with him.
They briefly show Vicki recognizing the secret space from her time with Matthew Morgan, expecting us to remember too, which I appreciate. I don't know that it's under any staiurs though, DL, and I mention this only because it would be interesting to find out about stairs I hadn't known about before.
Ingenious Vicki manages to get herself shot, in a perfectly planned plot to justify (semi) sleevelessness, even in the 18th century. DS became what it needs to be and should be temporarily, with that nice long mood sequence, leading into Vicki's dream about Nathan strangling Daniel, with red-herring fake-out glimpse of mausoleum's back room's coffin included at no extra charge.
