Good setup and good entries ^_^

a bookie operation staffed by ghosts

Santa appeared and dropped off Easter Eggs

Evidence of the dropped Romance of the Invisible Man plot.

I’m starting to see why this episode (at least seems to) come up so much in some way.
A lot happens.  I’ve read the Robservation of it awhile ago, but revisiting it is pretty enjoyable.

Loved this bit of dialogue:

Sarcastically Roger says, "I suppose if you see a man fall off a 12 story building, you have to have an autopsy to determine the cause of his death." Yes, we do, the sheriff says. Roger says he never heard of anything so ridiculous, and Patterson says, significantly, "Well, for one thing, the party on the 12th story may have been shot before he fell." Roger looks sharply at the sheriff, his mouth a thin angry line.

It’s very clever.

A pretty dramatic episode in a good way.

Hehe 

Julia: Barnabas, must you go through with this?   Plastic surgery isn’t really the answer.

Barnabas:  No Julia, I simply can not live with my thighs.  They’re too beefy.

Barnabas:  I’m afraid I’ll never be able to look at your face again  . . . unless  . . . perhaps you could brush your teeth .

Stokes:  My dear Elisabeth, you don’t have to pretend to be a lady leprechaun to get my attention.
