It was written by Liz McGillicuddy.  May Sutherland was selling the story in the 90s while she was also still publishing her zine, and I've seen it for sale at Fests since then.

  LOL

BTW, Sally, Charity read the confession after it burned in the fireplace, but it's no big.

See:

New MPI DVD storyline complilations

And Trask's remark:"You called the devil and you got me." I've yet to see the difference between the two.

The devil doesn't masquerade as a man of God?

How  does Barnabas know that Tim has the hand?  It seems that more and more they are leaving out the scene's to advance the plot logically and just skipping to highlights.

I checked back on Robservations, and there was no scene during which Barnabas was informed that Tim had the hand. I guess Quentin must have told Barnabas off-screen.  

Or Magda told him.  From the scene in Quentin's room in the previous ep when Barnabas told Jamison/Petofi, "We don't have the hand," we can glean that Barnabas had already been informed at that point.

the picture was in black and white for a while during that scene. Weird! 

There was a tear in the tape, so the kinescope was used to replace the damaged part.  Before that, the ep was simply skipped entirely during (early) syndication.

I don't think so, Magnus.  Edward answers to his own name, and unlike the possessed Charity, he stays firmly in the mindset of a servant.  Maybe Petofi chose the identity of the Earl's gentleman to make it even worse for Edward, since he knew the Edward and the Earl were close friends?

EmeraldRose, I think you misunderstood my response; the quote is from an earlier ep.  In other words, we learned Judith's destination in #793, so it wasn't a milestone in this episode.  Judith has been at Rushmore since the day Julianka died.  Though considering how much can occur at Collinwood in a single day, that could have been yesterday. 

Yay, the sexually repressed Charity has finally let her hair down!  DS fans have debated if Charity was possessed by the spirit of Pansy, or if it Petofi merely made her think that she was.  But what convinces me of the former are Charity's new psychic abilities; even if Petofi gave them to her, how could he know about Carl's death?  And haven't we seen ghost possessions before on DS in which the person who is being controlled oscillates between normal and possessed?  (Can you Amy and David?)

In order for the real Edward to be suffering, he must somehow be aware of his new status as a domestic who is willing to do anything.  Ouch.

But what's unsatisfying to me about the truth spells are the constant promises that the revelations they will bring will be shattering and oh-so destructive.  Yet, for its first 3 victims, are their exposures to truth all that tragic?

I think that this is the first time that anyone actually said that the servant's quarters are under the staircase.

Though we've consistently seen Beth (and others) heading in and out of there on the way to or from her room.

While Quentin was haunting Collinwood, however, we were told that the West Wing had its own servant's quarters during his lifetime (abandoned in the present) and were shown Beth's tiny room in there.  Even when Liz was offering the WW as a wedding gift, she described it as a self-contained part of the house.  But nothing we see in 1897 supports any of this.

No!  He's back and he's Charles Delaware Tate.

I feel your pain, alwaysdavid!

He calls Aristede.  Aristedee.  Apparently nobody on the set bothered to correct his pronunciation.  I can just see the actors and crew laughing behind his back on the set.

LOL

Edith supposedly commissioned a painting of Quentin.

I thought that was a big lie designed to cover up Petofi's commissioning of the painting.  Why else would Tate come to the door asking for Jamison, who was expecting him?

The credits list a new scenic designer.

John Dapper has been in the credits since #791.  So any blame for the pendulum set is his.

3. We discovered that Judith was staying at Rushmore Sanitarium in Portland.

From #793:

Beth exits the servants' quarters.  Edward calls to her as he's heading downstairs--Beth, are you going out now?  For a little while, she says.  Get your rest,he advises--you are to be up and ready to leave with me at sunrise.  Leave? She asks.  You are to accompany Judith and me to Portland, he says--her condition has gotten worse, and I'm placing her in Rushmore Sanitarium
