Burke can be rather charming. Almost likeable. Is it an act? Probably so. Roger is back to his panicky self. The unholy pact between him and Sam is quite apparent now and is in danger of unraveling. It is also quite evident now that they did Burke some serious wrong. I find Sam pathetically funny. I hysterically hang on his every word. Looks like Burke is picturing himself as master of Collinwood. I'm finding it hard reading Maggie. Probably just a combination of soap opera acting and poor directing. Well, it's not hard to tell when someone is going to break a glass in their bare hand.
It's strange that Burke has no angst against Sam. How could he not know Sam's role in his incarceration? Maybe it is explained and I have forgotten.
