Scenes you know HAD to have happened

[Pansity]

Have you ever been watching DS and you realize that in the storyline you're watching, there is something that is set up, you know the scene HAD to have happened within the reality of the show, but it's never shown or even referred to?  AngeliqueWins/Judy and I compare notes on these a lot, what with our various stories; hers set in 1840 and mine in 1897.  I thought it would be interesting to compare notes and see how many people here have had the same experience.

Here's a couple of mine, both from 1897:

1) After Quentin finds out about his children.  He mentions in the later scene with Edward that he has just come from his son's grave.  Whether it was Magda, or, more likely Beth that took him there , I can't see him not piecing it together and realizing Beth knew and didn't tell him (For all Quentins myriad faults, he's VERY quick on the uptake -- the Lilachead he mutated into in of summer of 70 not withstanding.)  There had to be one seriously ugly scene between them, maybe even at the baby's grave itself.  And I am wracking my brain on this, but, without going back to the eps to confirm this, I believe that we didn't see her for a good while after that.  And that  sometime in here is when Amanda Harris first turned up.  Such a scene might even explain Beth's going from a strong and interesting character to one who cried all the time.  Guilt can do some really funky things to people.

2) We know that Jamison told Q he hated him after the Beth and Angelique business, and that he wasn't able to make things right before the Petofi takeover.  Can't see Petofi bothering.  So, can you just IMAGINE the scene between Jamison and Quentin after the boy is told of Beth's death? (If Trask knew she was dead when he saw her ghost, apparently the whole family knew somehow from someone that she had died.)

OK, there's some of mine to start the ball rolling.  Anyone else want to play?

I've always wondered what it was like between Barnabas and Willie the first time they meet after Willie unwittingly released him from his coffin.  Imagine the utter SHOCK Barnabas must have felt upon learning it was 1967 and then hearing all the things that had happened between 1796 and 1967 (all the wars, inventions, the fact that the US was now an ally to England etc...).  I actually wrote a story about it once.  I mean, Willie had to have at LEAST given him the skinny on who the current family was because when he knocks on the door to Collinwood and Mrs. Johnson answers, he knows to ask for Elizabeth Collins Stoddard!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a part of vampiric lore that states that when the vampire bites his victim, he becomes aware of the things that his victim knows. I'm not sure if this is related only to events happening as the victim sees them, or if the vampire suddenly becomes aware of their entire past?

I'd like to have seen that scene between Willie and Barnabas, because he appears to get acclimated to the time period quite quickly. I did like the part in the 91' series where Phyllis Wicke becomes quite perturbed at being picked up and dropped off at the Collin's estate in a police cruiser.

"Sir, you're services, are no longer required.  You may crawl into that fiendish metal contraption of yours and roll away!"

I love that scene!
