This is a bit late, but ...
The episode where "Father Collins's" will was read was very well done. I started to notice the tension of the scene when Edith began pacing back and forth. Each of those present in the scene -- Edith, Gabriel, Gerard, Samantha, Desmond -- conveyed a unique emotional tension, which was really quite extraordinary to see. I thought the individual reactions after the reading -- such as Edith's laugh -- were also very realistic ... (so much so that it brought back a memory of a divisive reading of a will that I unfortunately had experience with. It's amazing how something like the division of property/money can damage family relationships.)
The physicality of this scene was impressively complemented, I thought, with the episode's closing scene which intercut the miming (not quite the right word ...) spell with Edith and the actual death of Mrs. Ward.
I don't know who directed this episode -- there were no credits at the end of this ep. But whomever it was did a masterful job!
