Somehow Maggie already seems to know that Vicki saw the ghost of Josette.
Maggie mentioned Sheriff Patterson, so I figure he came in for a powdered donut and told Maggie everything, right down to the state of Matthew's underwear.
I really enjoyed this episode. I love the Old House interior set – the dilapidation and trash, and Josette’s portrait serenely reigning over it all – but the coffeeshop makes a welcome contrast. Ever since I read Kathryn Leigh Scott's Dark Shadows novel, I've been appreciating the detail in the coffeeshop.
I trust David Ford was having a whale of a time in his scene with Louis Edmonds, and meanwhile I was surprised that Sam actually forced Roger to play his game. It was very effective for me; it really got me thinking about the ramifications of Laura's return. For nearly six months we've dealt with the same set of characters (with the occasional deletion, and the insignificant swapping out of Inspector Carter for Sheriff Patterson) and now we've got an entirely new character to stir things up.
