Dr. Dave Smartypants

How foolish of Dr. Woodard to confront Barnabas about his sister -- er, ancestor, Sarah. And that was followed by the smug look on the good doctor's face as he exited the Old House. The only thing he didn't do was break into a sing-song, "I know your secret! I know your secret!"

Instead of advancing his discreet investigation, Dr. Woodard has now succeeded in raising Barnabas' paranoia and making himself a target of Barnabas' suspicions.

I guess the doctor's blunder was necessary to advance the plot and preserve Barnabas and Julia. But the blunder will prove to be a costly one.

Bad move, Dave.

I can't picture Robert Gerringer saying that line. I miss him already. If I were Dr. Woodard, I secretly would have brought Sheriff Patterson, Joe, and Sam to the secret room. And I NEVER would have made my suspicions known to Julia!

I also can't believe the talk he had with David. A real doctor would have put the boy at ease but not have gone into so much detail. Why would he give David more to think about and worry about.

Hello confide in the child!
