Kate Jackson VO. Daniel's apoplectic about Q possibly being a murderer... Well, I guess some fathers don't want the son to go into the family business. Finally, Gabriel's back. When half the characters just don't appear for days or weeks, I really don't imagine them off camera. They seem totally gone to me. So it's strange seeing them waltz right back onto the show again.
I think the Quentins are in love with falling in love, the newness of it, the sense of discovery. Then when the romance is well underway, they lose interest and move on, once again so earnest about their heartfelt feelings, with new girlfriend. I also think they both go to their graves (if Q2 ever does that) blissfully oblivious that this is what they're doing.
I really like that very short bit of music: Bum, bum... then icy sound that may be strings. Serves as emotional reset button when the drama gets too mundane, pulling us back into the old DS atmosphere.
Gerard Zachery calls Collinwood a "small, unsightly pit"! Terry Crawford was great as Beth, but is utterly unconvincing as a cynical schemer. Maybe she's just too nice.
