So, first we had Angelique as the principal villain, next we had Trask, and now Nathan has shouldered the responsibility. And if Nathan, like his predecessors, gets offed by Barnabas, who will 1795's next villain be? Maybe Noah will step up to the plate. He's not much, but then, there isn't much left to do. Jeremiah, Angelique, Sarah, Josette, Abigail, and Trask are dead, and Barnabas has received his curse. I think even paltry Noah can manage to dispose of the rest of the characters - although the Countess may give him some trouble.
Speaking of the Countess, she was very gentle with Millicent today. I thought perhaps she was in despair following Josette's death, but she was her usual self with Peter Bradford, so I guess she simply knows that there's no point in trying to impress Millicent. Millicent wouldn't even notice.
