Nicholas is so pleased with his plans that he can't help boasting about them, even to Angelique. (It's also convenient for us, the audience.) LP does do a good job of glaring at him.
Angelique (wearing a dark green velvet gown with lace collar and cuffs) is amazed when Nicholas tells her, I want to get Adam a mate so he can propagate a race of super-beings who will serve our master and control the world. Nicholas takes a balance scale from the mantel and adroitly uses some loose change to illustrate his point: Even though I cannot create life, I can force Barnabas and Julia to it for me because I have Vicki. So saying, he tosses a whole lot of change into his side of the balance. (I love watching actors work with props!)
The local police officer's badge says "sheriff" even though he's only a deputy.
Since the last episode, Vicki has combed and rearranged her hair, but she did not bring a comb or brush with her when she was kidnapped.
