Man, Roger is certainly on a roll here. Have another drink, why don’t you?
Just for laughs I did a search of how many times the word drink appears in episodes 1 through 126. There were 274 matches.

Favorite line comes from Roger: “Perhaps Burke Devlin drowned himself in a pit of depression.”

Not to be outdone. Here’s a zinger from Liz to Roger: “If you were given free reign, the Collins Fishing Fleet and Cannery would disappear forever!”

I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

Good zingers, but this was a very repetitious episode. Even Elizabeth doesn't seem inclined to believe the girls saw what they did.

And speaking of inclines, according to my notes, when Matthew is walking down the cliff path, flashlight in hand, it certainly doesn't appear quite so steep as it does from the top.

Roger: "That's what we have Matthew for."  Really?  To identify the bodies?

The opening is a replay of the scream scene from last episode.  I think this is the first time they have done this, although it was a common serial formula in the 1960's. 
Loved the interchange with Elizabeth and Roger.  It underscores how useless he really is. 
Roger and Matthew are both acting stranger than usual.
Vickie reveals that David said he saw in his crystal ball that  Bill was dead  and that Roger had killed him.

Is it a replay or is it a continuation?  I think that Vicky and Carolyn have switched places from Friday's episode, but I'm not sure.

I suppose it's necessary for Vicky to scream and scream because that's what heroines do, but I keep thinking: She's not actually all that close to the body.

Yes, she seemed to take it seriously.  What she doesn't seem to take seriously, even after the bleeder valve business, is the utter awfulness of the relationship between Roger and David.

By the end of the episode, we're in an interesting position: we, the viewers, may be the only ones who know that Vicky and Carolyn did see a body and not a clump of seaweed.

I love the outfit Elizabeth wears when she goes to visit Matthew (who is just about to go to bed): a cape-like coat with armholes and a scarf tied over her hair, very much ala Audrey Hepburn in Charade.

Sadly for her, Ned Calder has called back and refuses to return to Collinwood. I suppose the writers were holding him in reserve for some future return. Too bad.

The opening scene looked to me to be a replay too.  It's Swann's turn again to write the week's eps.

Roger:  "Way back in time, a bride was pushed, leapt or fell from Widow's Hill."
Way to leave your options open.

Hot cocoa to induce sleepiness?  Why not skip the caffeine and go with warm milk?  Oh those wacky pre-sedative days.
