The meeting between Burke and Roger happens and delivers on the build up. Burke pretends smiling ease and Roger is tense.  Many tidbits of information are dropped about what happened ten years ago.  While this goes on Vickie goes in search of Matthew Morgan. She looks like a doll standing outside the massive door to the cottage which once the exterior footage is over and she enters magically turns to normal size.  One thing we learn is Roger has only been back a month. Matthew throws Vickie out once he learns she was not there on Elizabeth’s behalf.  On the way back Vickie sees Burke in the garage near Rogers car.

Elizabeth asks Burke what his game is and since he always hated Collinsport why return.  Meanwhile, at the Inn, Sam walks in and chats up Mr. Wells who is filling Maggie’s role today while she takes and extended break.
Burke wants to know if Collinwood is for sale. He says he wants to tell Roger that he has no plans for revenge. Carolyn is dispatched to find Roger.  Not an eventful episode.  No upstairs phone?  Later there were, but I can remember when we had one phone in the kitchen and it could not be heard in half the house so my mother had one installed in the downstairs entrance hall. 

It was just in either 8 or 9 episodes where Carolyn felt she was stuck because her mother would be alone if she left. That was one of the reasons Elizabeth brought in Vickie to be her companion. It also seems that Elizabeth only expects that Carolyn will get married.  Carolyn also said to Vickie that she feels trapped but she’s afraid to leave.
It would seem that Elizabeth would be training Carolyn to take over. Obviously Roger was cut out and it’s seems with good reason.

Elizabeth seems worried that Vickie will call the foundling home. Vickie does call and learns that nobody there knew the Collins family and the letter was the first contact. It becomes clear in the episode that Elizabeth knows the whole true story, but chooses to keep it secret.
I find Carolyn to be very interesting. Her switches between being very naive and childlike and then more grown up ring true for a seventeen year old. I think her clothes and hair are much better than later on in the show.

The Basement makes a nice spooky debut.  I find it hard to believe Mathew didn’t know about Miss Winters.
More of Vickies past come to light.  Despite her denials, Liz know about Vickies past as inferred from her conversation with the troubled child David.

  Vickie gets thrown right into the middle of things due to Roger’s obsession with Burke Devlin. Elizabeth seems to have a low opinion of her brothers ability to handle a crisis or maybe anything, although she seems to wish he could.  And then Vickie meets her charge in the middle of the night and he hates her at first sight. Welcome to Collinwood Miss Winters.

Would someone really take a job without investigating the people first, meeting the child, and the family?  The Collins family knew she was coming, so why no one met her seems off.  They should have said she was supposed to get a cab and it didn’t show because of the flat tire.

Lots more extras at the Blue Whale. David is continued to be portrayed as a difficult child. Roger’s reaction to Devlin’s name adds to the mystery.

Brutus ghost  tells Morgan they are his. Brutus comes into room and wants Cath to come to him as Amanda. Dawn comes and Brutus says they have won. Morgan shoots Bramwell in the shoulder. Julia and Kendrick come in and Morgan takes Cath and runs. Meanwhile, Flora and Julia go to Melanie who is okay. Kendrick and Melanie reunite and hug.
     Cath and Morgan are on the roof in what appears to be. New set. Perhaps a widows walk. Bramwell comes out and Morgan plans  to throw her off the roof. Kendrick appears and he struggles with Morgan who goes through the railing to his death.  Melanie and Kendrick plan to leave tonight.  Both sets of lovers kiss. Cath feels quilts about Morgan and will leave within the week. Melanie if found lying in the woods with Marks on her neck. Stokes is there and he says he swears there is a vampire at Collinwood,  then a V/O saying this time there was no vampire. Melanie and Kendrick has 3 kids and Bramwell and Cath were a living legend.
      Quite the exciting episode. Loved the roof set.  Wished Julia had been a more sympathetic character. Maybe in love with Bramwell as a child and he only wanted Cath. Would have like to seen Flora and Josette
have it out over Justin and Melanie.   I remember when Melanie got bit, thinking that it can’t be the end. The TV guide must be wrong and then the V/O and it was and Monday Password was on and became my Mom’s favorite show.
