As Taeylor Collins pointed out, there's a huge whackin' cut in act one of this episode. Obviously one of the rare bloopers that HAD to be removed was excised after hours. Maybe Julia dropped an earring? (j/k)
I wondered whether today's Sheriff Patterson was one of those last-minute re-casts. This happened more than once on DS when the actor originally signed for the role simply failed to show up for the 5 p.m. read-through the evening before. It would explain why the actor seemed barely to know what he was doing or saying in the role.
It was interesting how they did this episode where Sheriff Patterson seemed to be starting a fullblown investigation into Joe's near-poisoning and all the other odd happenings around town. And then so far as I am aware, this subplot is simply dropped. Maybe Nicholas made one of his late-night visits to the dear Sheriff and gave him his special "memory treatment."
