Julia was extremely irritated with Jeff for snooping in her book.
Yes, I thought Julia overreacted.
Today's cast included nobody from yesterday's cast. As I understand it, at the end of each day's taping there would be a read-through of the following day's script. I'm imagining today's cast coming in at the end of the taping of yesterday's episode, and yesterday's cast telling them all about the trials and tribulations of taping that episode, and then leaving, and today's cast settling down for the read-through. Shift turnover of a sort. Very likely I have it all wrong.
Julia and Jeff are very vague about the preparations needed for the experiment. There's some wiring that Jeff's supposed to get done. I'm betting that Willie would do a far better job on wiring, but Willie's off watching Nicholas Blair's house - and grumbling every step of the way, too, I'll bet. And the body needs to be prepared - but how? Nobody says. If the writers had any idea, they would throw in some impressive sounding words, but they're as much in the dark as we are.
The other times I've watched this storyline, I have accepted without question that Jeff couldn't tell Vicky about the Experiment. Today I suddenly - or finally - thought: Vicky's right! Jeff should trust her! For heaven's sake, it's not as if any of it is his fault. Hmm...a pause while I consider that last statement. It seems intuitively wrong ever to absolve Jeff Clark of all blame. Let's just leave it that Jeff himself doesn't believe that any of the Adam mess is his fault, so why shouldn't he tell Vicky about it? He probably doesn't want to frighten her with the threat to her life. We're supposed to sympathize with that attitude, but I don't think Vicky would. The writers keep pushing Jeff and Vicky as the couple we're supposed to root for, but they just don't fit together.
