I do not understand Elizabeth's problem with the Party. But then, I never have understood any superstitious feelings. And Willie - why did he think the Collinses wouldn't like the idea? Clearly he has never read any of those old-fashioned whodunits where rich people go to costume balls and nobody knows who the murderer was because he was wearing a mask. I fully sympathized, however, with his feeling that it was not a good idea to suggest to the Collins family that they could drop in at the Old House any time they wanted. After all the near-misses with Maggie, Willie has learned something, but Barnabas apparently has not.
Isn't it convenient how all the right clothes are in the trunk! Barnabas invited Vicky over to help him choose, but there wasn't any choosing to do - just a lot of ooh-ing and ah-ing. I wish we could have gotten a preview of Naomi's dress; I can't remember what it looked like. Oh, well, what I remember about Naomi's dresses was the bright colors, and they won't show up in black and white anyway.
Sarah's one line in the show is one of my favorites - "My blue dress! I found my blue dress!" It seems so natural - much more so than the usual Dark Shadows lines.
