It's strange to think Vicky has no idea that it was Bill Malloy who saved her. She goes on and on about Josette, while poor Bill, who rounded up the girls and brought them in from the Hill (carefully heading them off when they wanted to go to the Blue Whale instead), doesn't get any credit. If only Mrs. Johnson had known! She would cry with joy and wish that she herself had been the kidnap victim instead of Vicky, I'm sure.
The relationship between Burke Devlin and the Collinwood residents has become just a little bit more tangled, with Burke having been a principle contributor to the rescue of Vicky, and with Mrs. Johnson telling Vicky it's a good thing he took an interest. I say Burke's going to be badgered into marrying Carolyn, though. Incidentally, would Vicky have been able to get out of the secret room if nobody had found her? I think she should have been able to hitch the chair over to the door and accomplish something, but I may be rating her intelligence too high.
Vicky took the sleeping pills that Elizabeth gave her without any questions like, "What exactly are they? Are they habit forming? Will they discolor my urine?" That's the Dark Shadows way.
The episode ends nicely with that footage of Josette weaving in and out of the pillars of the Old House facade. Is she dancing? Or trying to escape?
I tell you once and once again...she's dancing!
