Then & Now
John: Vicki says she'll stay in Collinwood until she finds what she's looking for — but what if she never does? Will she be the next Elizabeth Stoddard?
Ten years later, I still think Sam is a bit dramatic when he says, "There are forces loose in Collinwood that frighten me to think of." I think you were right, and we can attribute this flowery prose to his drinking.
Locals sure have no qualms about calling folks in the middle of the night in this town. When Vicki later says she thought the call might have been from a drunk, I was sure she realized it was Sam Evans!
Christine: I was curious about Maggie saying she had never seen Sam so gloomy. When have we ever not seen him gloomy?
John: For the past few months, Carolyn has been cavalier when it came to dismissing talk of ghosts, and sounds in the house including the crying woman. Today, you'd think she was the newcomer to the haunted mansion, with Vicki remaining the voice of reason.
And again, the opening of the book to Josette's page is worth celebrating as the show's first truly supernatural experience!
Christine: Apparently the body of Bill Malloy disturbed Josette's resting place. Perhaps she was expecting a governess instead.
Shadows on the Wall
John: Sam brings up the letter he gave to Maggie, and she confirmed it's in the hotel safe. In case the viewing audience joined late, or just forgot.
Christine: I think blonde, short-haired Maggie would have read that letter without telling her pop she was going to do it.
John: Whoever was responsible for sound effects today was working overtime.
Christine: The Thinker-like statue on the Evans bookshelf is gone, replaced by a different statue and an alarm clock. While difficult to notice, the faithful striped blanket can be seen shoved down into the crook of the Evans couch.
A few more things that may deserve your attention…
