Both Slocum and Rodan are caught in close-up, looking for the red light on the camera to go on before starting a scene.   No one can take a person prisoner with a knife, and get him across miles of ground, to town and into jail.   People do it all the time on DS.   So the tape does still exist.   Lang, insufferable in life, is a passable ghost.   Finally living up to his true potential...

"Julia, Julia, Julia."  Even 'n death! lol

Anybody think it's a stretch that Harry would take the nine to five over the reward? I guess with the threat of prison over 'is head (which I think is bad writing, btw)...

I got off on Adam's tit for tat reasoning. I needed that insight into him at this particular time I guess because it's really not a revelation but I marveled nonetheless; go figure. I also got off on Carolyn teaching morality to Adam - Stokes took care of the practical and now a woman teaches him the emotional. If only Mrs. J. would teach him to clean.

Different VCR and TV today and Nicholas' suit looked fabulous for the first time to me. And once again I giggled and thought of DarkLady when Nick conjured up Lang with his theatrical arm and hand gestures - gotta love it.

The stage is being set for Cass/Ange to mess up Nick's plans which can only create some great Brother and sister scenes in the future. YEAH!

I don't know what to say about the kiss and I can't quite figure out what Carolyn is really thinking. It is fun seeing the west wing. I wonder if we get to see Harry in a chauffeur's hat? No acting or writing awards today but there were definitely some very good moments.

Harry does show remarkable presence of mind when he talks Adam out of strangling him on the spot by saying that Miss Stoddard sent him.

Nicholas tells Cassandra, The first order of business is to find Lang and find out all he knows. Cassandra replies, Unfortunately, that’s impossible--Dr. Lang is dead. Not missing a beat, Nicholas says, Well, that does present some problems--but they’re not insurmountable.

Shame on those lazy writers, who actually made poor Craig Slocum say, Blackmail is such an ugly word!

I remember Nicholas's wonderful gestures as he summons Dr. Lang from the beyond. Lang tells him all about the experiment. Julia! Julia! he calls as if still trying to send her his last, urgent message. Nicholas graciously thanks him and sends him back to the beyond, well pleased with this night's work.

Harry pulls a knife on Adam and plans to collect the reward. A not well thought out plan on so many levels, but that was no doubt a major reason young Harry has been to prison already in his unfortunate life. Cassandra suddenly remembers Eric's voice which once heard in unforgettable.  I can just see Mrs. J  wondering how Harry got to be Chauffeur. Cassandra and Nicholas are at odds over Adam and one can see that it will not end well.
you know there's a whole wing that's closed off all the time; the west wing, I go there lots of times
