I don't see how the "classically-classic" line could have been written that way; it wasn't the way the writers have Julia talk. Later on, when Julia was talking to Stokes, she said Michael's death was a "classic thing", whereas "classic case" would have been smoother, and I wondered if that was another blooper, and if something about "classic" was tripping up Grayson Hall that day.
Julia's been trying out new partners in detection. I guess Chris was a rather weak vessel, especially at the full moon, but Professor Stokes will do excellently. I was thinking today, as he and Julia talked in his living room, that they would make a nice pair if Jonathan Frid were to leave the show, with Stokes silently adoring Julia just as Julia silently adores Barnabas. I like to think that Julia wouldn't spend the rest of her life searching for a Barnabas clone the way Barnabas searches for a Josette clone, but she's at the mercy of Dan Curtis's whims, poor thing.
The Leviathan gang sure didn't waste any time. Michael's funeral was staged on the afternoon of the same day that his death was staged. I suppose the story was that it was easier on Megan to get it over with, but it still must have looked strange.
How long would Julia have waited outside Mrs. Hitchens's house? And wasn't it lucky that it was Philip who paid the lady off rather than somebody Julia didn't know! Philip seems to have no doubts right now.
I just love the ending to this episode. And I know I'm not alone.
As I watched the closing credits, I wondered about the bird. I don't take an interest in birds, so I don't know what kind it was. Was it a finch? In particular, was it a finch belonging to Sam and Grayson Hall?
