One could see this coming as Beth forsakes Petofi and kisses Quentin with Petofi's mind.   Grayson Hall coughs enthusiastically offstage.  Aristede taunts Petofi with Quentin's mind.  Petofi needs Quentin's body in the future as a host.  I already see problems with this scenario, but maybe, they will be successfully explained later on.  One wonders why Petofi with all his powers did not correct his eyesight and try to make himself look less grotesque.  If he just had shaved off the beard and ridiculous mustache, then get a haircut,the gypsies would find him unrecognizable.  It just seems totally ridiculous that Quentin cannot come up with some things to tell people so that they know who is really is.

It is interesting that Kitty thinks that Q's ring is like one her husband wore.  I can't be the same one since the gypsies had that one.  Did Petofi have more?   Why is it so important that Gerald died penniless?  It would seem that she could get more mileage out of being destitute in her quest to snare Edward. 

I know what you meant in the spoiler,  but I couldn't help  thinking it applied to the actress who protrayed her as well. 

Today we get the many loves of Barnabas Collins.  Angelique's line, "She reminds me of someone I loathe."  In the present tense even though Cosette is a hundred years dead.   Does that mean that her pursuit of Barnabas is more out of hatred for Cosette than actual love of Barnabas?   She appears to be over Barnabas but not her hated for Cosette.   
Then there is her scene with Julia where they appear almost friendly, but Angelique must realize that Barnabas would never be interested in someone Julia's age or with her capabilities. 
Is Angelique behind the apparent possession of Kitty?  It seems to make her more appealing to Edward.  Are the writers giving acknowledgement to the boys Jamison's age who had a crush on KLS? 

The  Tim and Charity relationship just rings false.  They appear to have no affection for one another.  The Trasks should according to character wanted Charity to marry up all along and not settle for an orphan teacher whom they have under their control already.   

The star crossed lovers plan to flee together but fate seems to thwart them.   If Quentin loves Amanda as much as he claims, then why not tell her he's not quite human himself and put her mind at ease about her status?   Tate and Trask manage to cause trouble for the lovers .  Amanda seems to finally rid herself of Trask after she tells him he lives a life of lies.  I can't imagine it will cause any great change in his character to learn this.  Will she take the train?  One can only hope that she does and I won't have to adjust the volume down on her scenes anymore.

Yes, it's to bad that Joan Bennett is on what seems like the longest Vacation ever[spoiler]ANd still not back as of  Episode 851[/spoiler]  Would Trask have comitted Charity to save his image to his new wealthy wife?  or resort to another murder?

This episode should be titled "Everyone loves Amanda."   Quentin, Tim and Chas all vie for Amanda's affection and she chooses Quentin.  He refuses to believe that Tate could have created Amanda, despite the fact that he is a practitioner of the black arts and has witnessed many supernatural events in a short time.  The most exciting thing was that Tate took Q's portrait and that says a lot.
