  Vickie gets thrown right into the middle of things due to Roger’s obsession with Burke Devlin. Elizabeth seems to have a low opinion of her brothers ability to handle a crisis or maybe anything, although she seems to wish he could.  And then Vickie meets her charge in the middle of the night and he hates her at first sight. Welcome to Collinwood Miss Winters.

You summed it up nicely.
The opening voice-over is one of my faves. And I guess since Roger's been away, Carolyn's somewhat creepy obsession with him is okay. A lot of great  dialogue and scenery chewing. The drama is high. Edmonds is having a field day. We get a good look at Roger and Liz's relationship. They don't appear to respect each other much. I'm perplexed about Liz. I can't tell if she believes what she is saying or if she's an optimist, or if she terribly misjudges every situation. She puts up a good front but gives in a lot and is usually wrong about stuff. Not the image of Liz I've built up in my head. It's only episode 4 tho. We learn Roger's life hasn't been a picnic and no one likes his wife. David still hasn't been complimented and I'm pretty much expecting satan when we meet him. Vicki's getting fed up. We can't blame her. Alexandra is playing the part well. The whole household is in turmoil. Everyone has an adversary.
Crying in the night. I'm not thinking Liz, or Ghost, I'm thinking Clarice Blackburn, lol. Satan shows up and he is David. As stated above, Victoria's had a very rough day.
