Desmond has lost his head! In more ways than one.
He goes to Rose Cottage to try to chop it up, like Joan Crawford in Strait Jacket. But it's gone! Samantha is understandably shaken to see Desmond in the main room with a hatchet. Desmond claims that he was just chopping wood. Yeah, he's certainly dressed for it. Wouldn't that be a servant's job anyway?
Much expository dialogue between Quentin and Desmond establishing Judah Z as the new big bad.
Too much screen time is given to the domestic triangle between Samantha, Gerard and Quentin. This is a story that would work a lot better on another soap. We don't know any of these characters very well and I, for one, felt no emotional investment in any of them.
