Pretty cool episode. I guess the Old House really is the only place to go at this point, and as Peter reasons, they’ll be safe there - at least temporarily. It ends up being a sound decision because Ben is there and he is the perfect ally. I totally forgot about the secret room in the Old House drawing room. Daniel finding Vicki & Peter by following the trail of blood was pretty hokey, but as I kid I would have eaten that stuff up. I can’t imagine why Daniel would even know about the secret room. The only reasonable explanation is that Sarah showed it to him. It wasn’t hard to guess that P&V would end up in the mausoleum’s secret room. If Nathan were out of the picture, Collinwood would have been a better place to hide and I don’t think it would have been too unreasonable to think that Naomi & Joshua would have hidden them there for the rest of their lives. And I am thinking that Barn might need the mausoleum room for when the search party searched the Old House for the escapees. But, oh well.

I can’t reconcile Vicki having a somnambulistic premonition about Daniel. Is this her first unimbedded premonition? Or does she actually have psychic powers? I don’t feel Daniel said enough about his situation at Collinwood to warrant Vicki having an organic dream about him being in danger.

Boy oh boy, Frid sure got to ham it up, lol. I can’t believe I don’t remember any of this. I had no idea that the way to the tower room was from under the landing. Kinda cool. New dress for Naomi? Very beautiful – Bennett & the dress. Naomi speaks of Daniel as David. Gotta love Millicent freaking Nathan out by predicting a bad end for him and revealing to Naomi about Barnabas. Fake Angelique laugh, Bye-Bye Bathia by fire. None of us had a whole lot to say about this this ep. - which ironically speaks volumes.

Joshua waits for Natalie at the Old House. Upon entering, Natalie appears to be her old irreverent witty self with Joshua. I had a comic thought that Natalie might’ve thought for a moment that Joshua asked her there to start an affair. I enjoyed the entire scene as acted and written. Joshua’s desperation is palpable.

Is anyone feeling bad for Millicent? I sure am and I can barely stand to look at Nathan anymore. Good storytelling.

You’ve got to be amazed at the change in Joshua, maybe not surprised at this point, but somewhat in awe of his coming to grips with his circumstances. I love what the writers are doing with him.

Damn it, Millicent, shut your trap! Barrett is awesome – she gave me goose bumps.

Interesting, Patti, thanx for providing the link.

Happy belated birthday!
