Nancy Barrett does some of her best work in these episodes.
Julia and Barnabas are pleasantly surprised that Carolyn is living in the shack but Carolyn is certainly not happy to see them. Its apparent that something terrible has happened to Carolyn. Is it connected to what destroyed the house? Most likely but Carolyn seems unable or unwilling to answer their questions.
Barnabas sends Julia off to the courthouse in search of records pertaining to the Collins family from 1970. Not surprisingly, she hits hostility and a dead end. Perhaps Julia should have headed to the library instead of the courthouse where she could have spent the day researching in private. Better still, Barnabas could simply have bitten someone and gotten the truth out of them.
Julia's reunion with Eliot is no less fruitful than her encounters with Mrs. Johnson and Carolyn. Eliot is looking quite elderly but seems to have his wits about him. He cautions Julia that she and Barnabas should MYOB or they will be forced to act. Eliot should know that she and Barnabas are incredibly nosy and unlikely to back off. So what's next?
