Joshua treats Millicent with surprising gentleness after rescuing Nathan from her.
Nathan attempts to thank Joshua for saving his life (though he could never have been in any serious danger from such a bird-boned little creature as Millicent). Joshua bars him from setting foot on any and all Collins property, including the shipyard. When Nathan points out that that's where he works, Joshua replies that that's the navy department's problem. Joshua probably thinks he's won, but he has made a very bad enemy.
While Ben is digging Josette's grave, Peter finds him and tries to talk him into testifying for Vicki. Joshua finds them and orders Peter to leave. Glaring suspiciously at Peter, he asks, Stokes, have you been imposed on or coerced in any way? He’s already been imposed on and coerced quite enough already by the Collinses without any help from me, Peter retorts and clears off. Referring to Peter as "that impudent young man," Joshua orders Ben to finish digging Josette's grave tonight. [Now why it should take that long to do, I don't understand, plus apparently nobody ever heard that suicides were supposed to be buried at a crossroads, face down, in an unmarked grave. But I suppose the rich and powerful Collinses can bury themselves wherever they want.]
Nice scene with Joshua and Ben at the mausoleum. It's still daylight, so of course Barnabas is in his coffin--as Ben has known all along.
Really, any scene with Thayer David is great. Ben is also one of my favorite characters.
