I enjoyed the slap and hope Grayson Hall enjoyed the scene, since as Magda in the 1897 story she gets manhandled rather badly by assorted characters. Regarding Liz and Cassandra, I think there's a special dynamic (whoa, am I getting deep here!) between the characters. See, I think Cassandra/Angelique sees Liz as the mistress of the house representing everything she wants to be. You'd think a witch with all her powers would have everything she wanted, but I think Cassandra/Angelique really longs to be the lady of the manor, member of the DAR and everything that goes with it. Go figure.
