Why does Burke expect the constable to take Burke's word on his innocence?   It seemed like there were many actors in this one, more than the five in the end credits.

When Maggie mentions her father, I don't know whether to picture him as a tall bear-like guy with furry arms, or as a shorter, rounder, less intense guy who likes a pipe.   We are in Sam Evans limbo.

According to the end credits, CONSTABLE CARTER has now been upgraded, or demoted, or whatever, to "Sheriff Carter".   Happy mega-nuptials, Lucy Johnson.  (Announcement over end credits.)

Michael Currie (Sheriff Carter) is the only actor to get all capital letters in the credits for some reason.

Possibly in honor of his recent promotion from constable!  [ghost_wink]

LE can be seen bouncing up and down in the background--warming up for his next scene?--just before the scene where Maggie induces David to stay in the diner by promising he can make his own ice cream sundae.

When Maggie asks Roger how David could have disappeared so quickly, Roger replies flippantly, It's because of spells and incantations.  [ghost_grin]

I noticed the bouncing Roger also.  Maggie makes David a sundae and he disappears.  Maggie doesn't seem to think he had time to slip out the side door, but doesn't look very hard for him.  There has to be a door in the back for deliveries and whatnot where he could have slipped out also.  Roger seems unconcerned and makes a nice impression on the townsfolk with , " He can find his own way home."

At some point David casually mentions hitchhiking into town--certainly a more dangerous option now.

The peripatetic phone booth is a balm unto my soul.  It foreshadows the happy days to come when staircases, studies, Towers, and even cemeteries will become nomadic.  So far we've seen the phone booth in only two places, the coffeeshop and the Inn's lobby, but I have complete faith that someday it will venture further afield.  Has anybody ever used it for the purposes of time travel?

I keep wondering about the search warrant that Carter got for Burke's suite.  Did Carter have sufficient grounds for getting it?  Not being in the law enforcement business, I have very little idea of what constitutes sufficient grounds.  And maybe the judge knew which side his bread was buttered on, and had heard all he needed to know from Maggie Evans.

I'm sure that phone booth is bigger on the inside than on the outside!  [ghost_smiley]

Maggie and David meet for the first time.  And we learn that Burke is an investor, his company buying and selling other companies (and it seems likely that the money made off the proposition offered to him in Montevideo was his venture capital).  Sheriff Carter also informs Roger that Strake arrived a couple of weeks before Burke in order to dig up what he could about the Collins family, but Malloy already found that out and let the viewers in on it.
