Bill Malloy comes to Collinwood and he and Elizabeth mainly worry about Burke. Bill suggests that Burke was framed for his crime. Bill figures that Burke wants all the Collins holdings and he will do what it takes to stop him.
Carolyn  tells one of the first ghost stories about three women who have jumped off the 100 foot cliff. The first was Josette wife of the builder of the house. The other two were governesses and Carolyn teasingly adds that a third was destined to die there.
I thought it was telling that Bill and Elizabeth discuss the business daily and Roger is nowhere around and nobody seems to know where he is or care that much.

Another good episode. The Collins' have an ally in Bill Malloy. We already knew that but now we know just how far he'll go for Liz and Carolyn's sake. He attempts to see Burke face to face and tries to send Carolyn out of town to protect her. If Liz is not convinced Burke is going to be a problem, Bill is. I'm not all that convinced that Roger's absence is all that telling. If I'm correct, Roger's been away with his wife and child. So he probably hasn't been part of the business for a long time. And Bill does call Roger. But this does remind me that in episode 3? he gives Bill grief about not being considered responsible or important enough to talk to about the family business. Carolyn becomes a problem, a big problem. She invites herself up to Burke's room. Good grief.
Everyone did really well but Nancy Barrett was superb.
