[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #288 (1967) - Vicki - 'Well, listen, I know that you like to imagine scary things, and you have a very active imagination, but you MUSTN'T let it run away with you.'

From "#0287/0288: Robservations 12/17/01: Julia KNOWS!!!"

David enters the drawing room to find Vicki staring out the window, listening to the music box. When she tells him she was daydreaming,

he says he had an odd, frightened feeling she was someone else-someone strange.

[/spoiler]

Except for the part in which David says he felt that Vicki looked so strange, everything else in the Robservations summary actually happens in the teaser, but it was necessary to include it for context because of the way the summary is written. And in Act I what isn't summarized is that after David says Vicki looked strange, he says there was something scary about it, and Vicki replies with the quote to that remark...

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #433 (1796) - Judge Hanley - 'Mr. Trask, the court has warned you repeatedly about your manner of questioning. The defendant MUST be regarded as innocent until proven guilty. You will bear that in mind.'

From "#0433/0434: Robservations 04/09/02: Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap"

Back in the courtroom, Trask calls Vicki to the stand. Peter brings up the "innocent until proven guilty" rule and reminds the judges about her right not to incriminate herself, but the judge assures him those rights will be protected. Trask goes at Vicki with a vengeance, asking her if she HATED Abigail for suspecting her of witchcraft--did she hate her enough to KILL her? Peter objects. Vicki denies wanting to see Abigail dead.

The Robservations doesn't reference the quote directly but it sort of references its circumstances...

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #572 (1968) - Julia - 'I believe that Nicholas Blair is involved. We MUST find out what that involvement is. We MUST find the vampire and destroy him. Or none of us will be safe.'

From "Robservations 7/23/02 - Joe & Maggie Finale? - #572/573"

Julia thinks it possible Blair made Tom a vampire. Barnabas disputes this--Nicholas is no vampire. Julia knows that, and a vampire exists close to them, but she feels Nicholas is involved, and they must learn what that involvement is. We must find and destroy that vampire, says Julia, or none of us will be safe!

[/spoiler]

The Robservations paraphrases a bit but gets all the quote's main points across...

And I always find it interesting how whenever there's a new vampire on DS and the identity of that vampire is unknown, everyone is guilty of reverse sexism in thinking that new vampire is male. Not always. And certainly not in this case.

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #1228 (1841PT[-1968/69]) - Melanie - 'Tell him, he MUST hear it!'

From "#1228/1229: Robservations 01/02/04: Daphne Faces the Truth"

You have seen the attacks Melanie is prone to, says Flora, she is also prone to hysteria.  Not true, says Melanie, I'm quite myself now, Mama, you know what I'm talking about, so tell him, please, Mama, for me!  Darling, says Flora, there is nothing to tell--I'm sure Mr. Young is distressed to see you so overwrought.  Tell him! cries Melanie, in despair, he must hear it.  Hear what? asks Kendrick.  That I killed Stella! cries Melanie.  Don't listen to her, says Flora, she doesn't know what she's saying!  Kendrick, shocked, stares at Melanie, who apologizes, near tears.

[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Flora - 'He IS Morgan, we MUST continue to think that') was back on February 12th of 2025, and the second (Bramwell - 'I MUST- I MUST go upstairs if you'll excuse me') was back on November 12th.

And just a reminder, we've seen a notation similar to "(1841PT[-1968/69])" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from a The Werewolf-Quentin's Ghost ep but there are no longer any eps from that storyline that haven't been quoted from so a 1841PT quote was substituted.

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #828 (1897) - Petofi - 'Whatever is going on in this house, Mr. Collins, I will not have it. She MUST stop immediately.'

From "Robservations 2/26/03 - Angelique Steps In - #828-829"

6 o'clock - Quentin paces the drawing room as the hour chimes.  Someone knocks at the door-- Petofi.  What are you doing here? he demands.  Petofi shoots the question right back at him--what are YOU doing here?--whatever is going on in this house, I will not have it--she must stop immediately.  She? asks Quentin.  Don't be a fool or think me one, insists Petofi--who but Angelique would make the dreadful error of tampering with my spells?

The Robservations references the entire quote almost perfectly...
