Poor Tessie from New Bedford (doesn't a Forum cousin live there?) had to do the replay without her plum-colored lipstick.  Oh the horror!

There's no sign of a redeemed Quentin here.  The werewolf sought to mutilate her, but it was a human Quentin that left her in the woods, bleeding and exposed to the elements, and that delayed her much-needed medical attention.  The wolf did the mauling, but couldn't it be said that Quentin I-didn't-do-it-it-wasn't-me Collins was responsible for her death?  And as if that's not bad enough, he terrorized Charity to prevent her from speaking about what happened and threatened to kill her if she told his secret.

The presence of a phone on the drawing room table lets us know that a telephone will become important in the ep. (!)  Charity was understandably upset over the idea of marrying Quentin, but the sobbing and hysteria seemed a bit much for someone who is desperate to keep the truth hidden.

And Gregory was suspicious of Quentin's involvement (with good reason!) yet he left him alone with Tessie.  I'm guessing that her death was from traumatic shock.  But I'm surprised that no mention was made of a transfusion to replace her blood loss.  (Not that transfusions had been made safe yet, but they didn't even try.)

Charity to Quentin, at the start of the ep:  "I know. I know."
Same people, but at the end:  "You killed her. You killed her. I'm going to tell. I'm going to tell Father everything. Everything."

In the reenactment Charity is standing right over Quentin and doesn't seem to see him.  The jam faced girl now speaks and says Quentin.

  on the jam face.  Both things happened at the end of the previous ep, btw.

Did Nancy Barrett have a "screaming clause" in her contract while she was playing Charity or what?  I swear, everytime she comes on the screen I have to lower the volume so my neighbors won't think something untoward is happening in my house and sic the cops on me!

LOL  This time I let my dog outside first, heh.

There was a boom mic shadow on the basement door, the boom mic could be seen near Barnabas' abandoned coffin, and a blur visible behind Magda's head in the drawing room was yanked out of frame.

Magda:  "Barnabas is my friend."
Aristede:  "As well as your enemy."
The birth of the frenemy!

Barnabas "found his instinct" and "had a premonition of danger," yet where were his instincts and premonitions all the other times he could have benefited from moving his coffin?  The man didn't even have the common sense to check his coffin area for pointy pieces of wood!
Jamison/Petofi had an epiphany too-- suddenly realizing that the information he desperately needed was written down somewhere in the Old House.  And it was!  So now he wants to be Barnabas' travel buddy, whereas only a short time before he was quite prepared to stake him.
And going back one episode, Aristede said that Petofi gave CDT his talent in exchange for his soul, though the Count's own time was nearly up.  So if he's mortal, how is it that he can take possession of a person's soul?
Honestly, is anybody buying any of this crap?

Tessie was covered in purple blood that matched both her purple lipstick and the purple trim on her purple dress... It looked less like a werewolf attack and more like a crate of plums had exploded.

Nipple alert!  And Charity's hands went right to touching Quentin's bare chest.  Go, Nancy B!!!

1. Amanda played Quentin's music. It was the first time someone besides Quentin played it.

Jamison sits in Quentin's chair in his room, listening to his uncle's music. "Please," he begs, "don't be dead! Don't leave me alone."

I hope you had a wonderful birthday this week too, Bobubas! 

LOL
