The appearance of the Dancing Girl had slipped my memory. I had forgotten  what she looked like and that Aristede carried it. It was the knife flashing around that was very scary as a child, but now it looks kind of silly that Quentin could not escape it. 
Angelique seems to really enjoy that she has the upper hand with the Nickolas lookalike Evan.  The who's got the hand situation reminds me of the pen from the early days.
Angelique calls herself a puppeteer.  It would make one wonder, if she were not behind everything going on, if only the writers were that advanced in their storytelling as Sam Hall wants people to remember him.

It seems that Clarice Blackburn is getting more work as the dead Minerva than when she was living.  It seemed when Trask slapped Judith that the timing was off.  If I were Judith just marrried  to Trask, and he treated me that way, He'd be history.  Judith had been played as if she were nobody's fool, but I guess love (no matter how icky) can do that to some people.  The ghost is really creepy.  Then to top it off poor Judith get's treated to clay Quentin.

Now we get claymation Quentin.  Grayson gets to deal with another victim of the hand while they are in a state of amnesia.
Edward  must not have much in the way of powers of observation, to not be able to see, that even with the smeared clay face it was Quentin.

It was very obviously not the same hand in the chromakey.  The red candles were a nice touch in the Old House reminded me of home.  I wonder why they don't use white?  If it's due to color tv or the set designer, like my mother, hated white?

The Trask family entering Collinwood with the smug looks on their faces was good fun and then Magda's counterplay to Trask's threats to send her away until she reveals her knowledge of the nightshade was equally satisfying.  Anytime Trask gets knocked down a peg from his self imposed pedestal is worthwhile.
Charity's dream seemed conjured up to get people to buy the DS LP to hear David Selby and it obviously worked because over the years I've seen lots of them in thrift stores. 

That's what I though about the eye too.  And the rest of his face looks like the kind of modeling clay we used to play with in school in the 60's

Although she was not one to gossip, Mrs. Johnson seemed like a good source to anyone who set foot in Collinwood.

Carl still breathing after death.  Could the camera operators not anticipated this since it's occurred before and go for a close up?   The practical reason for Carl's death was that John Karlen left the show to move to LA according to 16 magazine and permanently.  Maybe he irked DC enough to want to do him in in a violent way.  Also this is really the end of the first storyline and the beginning of another and DC seemed to always crank up the body count at the end of a story.

The fading effect on the tombstones was memorable.  Naturally Barnabas thinks it's all about him and blames himself for Rachel's death.  Rachel was foolish enough not to run when she's sees a coffin in  an old basement.   GH was great as Magda was all gleeful and then admits she stole the hand.  As soon as the dream started it had Vi Welles written all over it and sure enough the credits tell it all.
