Our thoughts
John: It's a shame that they could only afford two zombies on today's payroll. At least they kept the one with the ping-pong ball eye.
Christine: It does make him the scariest zombie of the bunch.
John: Thank goodness for Quentin that folks in Collinwood know how to dig graves faster than anywhere else! Sadly, because we knew that factoid, it made his being buried alive far less concerning. And besides, it's not like Quentin is at risk of dying just like any mortal.
Christine: I wonder if Barnabas picked up on Maggie and Quentin's sudden romantic psychic connection, or if he'll recognize the matching tridents on their hands as the same that Josette and Jeremiah shared, to realize Angelique is up to no good again.
John: Who was responsible for the branches that obscured Blair while performing the ritual at the altar? You could barely see his cool glittery outfit. Still, it was quite an exciting conclusion to the week! Have we seen the last of the Leviathans?
Christine: Blair certainly has a flair for magical outfits. With the Leviathan book, box and altar destroyed, it would seem to signal the end of the Leviathans. Will it mean the end of Jeb, or did he just get a tummy ache from something bad he ate? Also, will Diabolos be mad at Blair for failing once again to create an evil super race of beings? Dark Shadows continues to entertain!
