Nicholas cruelly gives Angelique a ray of hope by offering her life if she can get Barn to forgive her which we later find out he can't as Nick knew all along. So; the witch is dead. Good riddance, for now. And not a moment to soon - Parker's begging voice is very irritating, coupled with the fact the the character deserved no mercy - having the gall to offer a simple I'm sorry for the act of killing everyone Barn's ever loved: Laughable. I did like that Ange was playing him and that there was no wink to the audience as is sometimes done. Her desperation to live played extremely well as desperation to die forgiven. I don't remember how long Barn gets to be happy over Ange's death. Once again, Julia comes up with the solution - Ange's portrait.
The scenes with Barn & Julia were good - Julia's reasoning to kill Ange, Barn's reckoning, etc. - a lot of good stuff - and I enjoyed them most for content. I was wrong yesterday, Barn was more than slightly reluctant to leave Ange in Julia's unsympathetic hands. Hall was good today and so was HAA. Frid was uneven unfortunately because he had a lot of great lines, but he did have some excellent moments. Parker was good too, but I didn't enjoy it. Edmonds was uneven as well.
Not sure if it is credible that Ange knows about the secret passages, but, why not?
