Since Angelique in this time is privy to all the goings-on at Collinwood, where the heck is she now that Barnabas has a powerful enemy?
Nice shot of the boom mic as Dirk entered the drawing room. Later, the backwards slide of CW again.
The secret room in the Old House is still to the right of the fireplace. But don't count on it always being there.
Laura arrived wearing a shawl but her hooded cape was mysteriously added when she stepped outside with Dirk. And then the cape was gone again, though the time to wear it would have been during her nighttime visit to the graveyard, no?
Laura's dress seemed very modern to me and was showing a lot of skin for a person who is supposed to be a proper lady even though she's not.
LOL It was such an odd choice-- the hemline not quite floor-length, and the plunging neckline that couldn't hide her black lace bra despite the silly flowers. And then that ever-present shawl hiding her arms... the dress was so wrong that I can't help but wonder if it was a last-minute replacement for something else.
It seemed to easy to find Ben Stokes diary at the old house.
Let's see-- we learned in #510 that Ben wrote a memoir that ended up in the hands of his ancestor, though important chapters were missing. He wrote a cryptic diary that ended up in a trunk in the secret room. And he wrote another diary that was buried with him. Could it be that Ben created records of his life that are all over the place? I mean geezus, once he learned to read and write there apparently was no stopping him!
Did Barnabas cause the storm?
Beth was specifically instructed to insure she leaves.
I'm not sure that Beth was actually given the instructions to lock up after Laura left. I thought that comment and the one to Laura that she couldn't stay were her desperate attempts to get rid of her because it was nearly dawn and raggedy Quentin might be stumbling in like he did the day before. Laura said about it, "You take it so personally. How strange."
Hmm, I could see Edward showing his bride around the abandoned Old House and sharing its secrets with her.
Dirk and his careful and efficient method of getting into the secret room without anyone guessing he was there.
