Welcome back, Laura's crypt. The entrance does look just the same as before, in early 1967. Under a "meeting house"? That's not where it was. Of course, what's most different is that they've altered Laura's history drastically. Instead of her marrying into a different family each generation, with Roger her first Collins, "now" Laura marries a Collins every generation, inflicting incest on the family without their knowing it. Why always a Collins, apart from the fact that they can use the character again this way? There are plenty of fish in the sea, after all...
So who were the Stockbridges in this version of Laura's life I wonder? In 1967, there was a Laura Murdoch Stockbridge in that cemetary I think. In 1897 there's now a Laura Stockbridge Collins, even though her maiden name is still said to be Murdoch? LSC might have been Jeremiah's wife. Did we hear the living 1897 Laura's full name? Confusing.
Barnabas and Sandor open her coffin. It was a group effort: Barnabas orders Sandor to, Sandor just stands there, so Barnabas does it himself. Josette's ghost doesn't do it this time... I'd have loved for the caretaker from the first Laura storyline to walk in, only he's a toddler, shaking his fist and telling them not to desecrate the dead...
