Hmm, the lady of the house and the gamekeeper. Wonder if they meant the allusion to Lady Chatterly's Lover?
Ooh, nice thought. OT PS: I hate that book.
Laura doesn't waste much time before she decides poor Jenny is the perfect tool to use.
Yes, indeed, Laura couldn't even spare a "Poor thing" before planning how to use Jenny. And I thought it was particularly cruel of Laura to send voices in the head to an insane person. That was one thing that Jenny had been spared up until now.
So although it's odd that Vicki or Carolyn or someone else didn't fill him in at some point on what the present-day Laura nearly pulled off in the fishing shack before his release, at least the writers are being consistent.
It doesn't seem terribly odd to me. Aside from the standard Collins practise of forgetting every supernatural phenomenon after it's been disposed of, I'm figuring it would natural for them not to want to talk about Laura too much. The whole thing would have been so strange (remember, it was early in the show, before the supernatural was natural) that they might have had an uneasy feeling that they must be remembering it wrong, or something. (Note: as I think I mentioned a few episodes ago, I still haven't finished watching the 1967 Laura storyline, so I'm just surmising.)
Poor Jenny really had lost her mind on this day, thinking it was the date of Quentin's funeral.
I was wondering if Jenny woke up
every morning thinking it was the date of Quentin's funeral.
It occurred to me yesterday that Quentin could easily have believed, when he burst into the Old House and found Barnabas talking with 1700s Laura, that Barnabas was, like Dirk, a minion of Laura's - or even that Laura was a minion of Barnabas's. It might be complicated to string out a subplot like that, but I'm sure the writers would have been capable of it.
