I think  that Carolyn is torn between what she wants(which appears to be unknown to her at this time) and what others want of her.  She seems very immature except when she is out dancing at the Blue Whale and attracting all the men, but even how she goes about that shows a lack of sophistication.  Then Bill calls her princess, which I am sure was the nickname of the oldest girl on Father Knows Best. 

The exterior shots give it the feel of an old black and white film.  The enigmantic and introspective Sam Evans.  "Ten years of torment and anguish." 
When Vickie and Burke talk about the hauntings of Collinwood he gets this knowing look on his face, as if, he knows something. It was exactly the same look Carolyn had in an earlier conversation possibly implying that things have happened that you would not believe.  It seemed bizarre that Burke would barge into Sam's house after ten years.  I wonder if it was another mix up in Mr. Ryan's very mixed up day.

There really is a morning at Collinwood.  David and Vickie were up until  2 AM.  I was wondering how much of the housework Carolyn did and she at least makes weak coffee and irons. 
Vickie is certainly a busy person going out for a walk on the cliffs after her late and eventful night.  It makes a person wonder is she was on pep pills like everyone seemed to be back then.  The meeting with Sam had a haunting quality to it, as if, he himself were haunted and as lonely as the hated bride of Collinwood. 
History often has many interpretations depending on who is telling the story and who told it to them.  There are two versions of a tragic romance in my family on that she died and the other that she went off with her father in exile so that now when I tell it, I give both versions.

Maybe Elizabeth wants Carolyn to get married young and not be involved in the business because she feels it hasn't brought her happiness to have devoted herself to the business and married late in life.  It was also uncommon for women to be working outside the home. I would think that Elizabeth would have sent Carolyn to school, but I'm guessing she couldn't bear to have her away from home .
I want Roger's Mustang.  I have the 66 coupe that was my Mother's, but to have the fastback!!!

"The little monster is asleep and I'm delighted." Roger in reference to his son.  The pupil may be a handful.  The train pushes relentlessly on though the night carrying the governess to her destination.  It becomes obvious that there was no interview before either party agreed to the position.  Would you really hire someone you had never met on some other person's word?
The train hasn't made a regular stop in about five years and yet one can hire a chauffered car in Collinsport or perhaps it came Bangor.  Having seen Eve Arden in other roles, I can't believe that KLS had.  The details of the sets are great.  Salmon Steak 75 cents.  This is heads above the General Hospital sets and no organ music. 

Barnabas finally has some romantic scenes in with both participants are willing.  Star-crossed once again. 
Now onto the the story that Dan Curtis says he hated from the beginning as much as the audience did. 

Could Petofi have survived?  Were the glasses just a ruse.  It's hard to imagine though that Garth who was quite powerful couldn't have easily snapped the doughy old Petofi.   
More Tate. It just won't end.  He lamants his work being destroyed as Greggory then destroys another of his works that Judith had so kindly left for him to meditate on.  Apparently this isn't the original that created Amanda as we get to see her and hear another tortured lovers meeting and parting.
It's interesting that Josette only talks to Kitty.  One would think she would contact Barnabas, but then she didn't appear to him when he returned to Collinwood in 1967.  Josette tells her she must forget that she is Kitty.  Maybe she is the reincarnation of Josette, but it seems that the spirit is trying to take her over.  It was thrilling to see her start to disappear into the portrait.  The reverse of when her ghost would exit the portrait and wander about the old house.
I see the gramophone has appeared in Q's room.  This is a very satisfying conclusion to the Trask saga.

I have a hard time with Angelique's explaination.  If she is supposed to find a man to fall in love with her, I would not make sense that she forces him into marriage.  She should have learned that that doesn't work abnd I have a hard time that she is no longer in love with Barnabas.
At least she has the sense to send Quentin off in a carriage instead of waiting for a train.  Even a boat, they are on the coast of Maine in a fishing town the supposedly has enough business to support the throngs of thowaway prostitutes that Barnabas feeds on.
I well remember Charity trying to steal Petofi's glasses.
