I thought we'd see Maggie today, but all we saw was Sam getting a shock when he learned that Burke was at Collinwood. It's a very old fashioned soap opera at the moment, because I really think that was the only plot movement in the entire episode. But, unlike Janet, I didn't mind. I enjoyed watching Mr. Wells, and once again I had thoughts about how different this show could have been. Mr. Wells could have become the center of it - the kind, fussy little man always trying to help the people passing through. Of course, we learned from Mrs. Mitchell in the first episode that not many people pass through Collinsport, but that could have been conveniently forgotten. And then there were some details that caught my attention.
First detail (in my order of thought, if not chronologically): Sam mentioned the bar, and my impression was that he meant a bar inside the inn, and not the Blue Whale. Two bars in Collinsport!
Second detail: Burke started me wondering exactly what the terms were of his release from prison. Specifically, he must have served his full term, because if he got out on probation he would never have been allowed to go to Montevideo.
And the last detail that interested me: Elizabeth asked Carolyn to get Burke a drink. Carolyn's 17. Elizabeth doesn't strike me as the kind of woman who would be comfortable with having her seventeen-year-old daughter serving drinks.
