]As for JK playing the cocky Willie, and then the subdued Willie, yes he was brilliant. Hard for me to imagine James Hall (the first Willie) pulling this off.

I think John Karlen's superb acting stands out in this episode.  I also can't imagine anyone else in the role of Willie.  IMHO, James Hall would have sucked in these scenes.   Recasting JK in this role was one of the best things TPTB did for DS.

Could not agree more!

IMHO, James Hall would have sucked in these scenes.

No doubt since, IMO, he sucked in all the ones he actually WAS in.

Recasting JK in this role was one of the best things TPTB did for DS.

Their first clue was probably the stifled giggles amongst the crew.

Maggie, Joe and Burke talk about the calf and drained blood, while Jason tries to find out about the blood on Willie's sleeve.  Is that Willie's blood or the calf's??

This episode and the ones before and after are just classEis DS!!  Great stuff!!!!

How do you think Willie brought back the blood. Or did he bring back the calf to Barn. I have a funny picture of Barn biteing the neck of the calf.

again a great show.

I don't know.  Maybe Barnabas flew in as a bat, grabbed the calf, disappeared and flew away as a bat again carrying his meal.  Therefore, no foot prints, no blood.

  In a few episodes [spoiler]Barnabas and Willie will move to the Old House and Barnabas will tell Willie to go out now. Willie will be very nervous and afraid and not want to go. He will beg to not have to go. Barn will insist he go. Why would Willie be this nervous? Is he going out to bring calves to Barnabas? This is my guess.[/spoiler]

Willie could be bringing the calf to Barn somewhere near the Old House and Barnabas drank the blood killing it, then Willie had to dispose of it.
Or Barn could maybe bat to the calf and drink it's blood there, killing it and leaving it for the farmer to find. What Joe said leaves me to think it may have been this way, but somehow Willie had to be involved due to what I put in the spoiler above.

I think the blood on Willie's jacket was his own.

Because Joe said there were no foot prints, no blood or evidence of anyone around to take the calf, that leads me to believe that it wasn't Willie who stole the animal or disposed of it.  I think something dreadful was happening that involved Willie but what?  I also think Barnabas was directly involved with the calf theft but will soon get tired of "cow's" blood.  Of course just knowing what Barnabas wanted him to do can freaked Willie out.  It is disgusting.

This was when Barnabas was bad.
