It's a pity that Bathia Mapes wasn't available to help out the Collinses against Quentin. That woman had power. She would have easily gotten all the answers she needed out of Magda the she-ghost.
Speaking of Magda...[spoiler]It's a sad thing when Magda is reduced to speaking with knocks. There's just no way to convey a gypsy accent with knocks. And what a strange thing that Magda should be trying to help the Collins family![/spoiler]
Quentin is apparently determined to take vengeance on the present-day Collins family, even though none of them had been born yet when he died. He's quite different from Barnabas, who didn't care one way or another about the present-day Collins family when he was first unchained.
Did Cavada Humphrey have to audition for the part of Madam Findley? I find it hard to imagine, but if she did, I daresay that the first test that was put to all the auditioners was: "See if you're skinny enough to crawl through that open panel."
I feel sorry for Madam Findley. When she and Amy both saw the pentagram, it must have been terrifically exciting for her: the discovery of a new medium, who might well be able to help her with the evil spirit at Collinwood, and whom Madam Findley might then take on as a sort of apprentice, raising the child to become a force for supernatural good in the world. But instead Amy had already been appropriated by the other side.
