Then & Now
John: I love how they employ a phone call from Carolyn (who's got the day off today) to blow a hole in Burke's story.
I'm surprised Burke doesn't say more in Vicki's defense when David says he's going to get even with her. Of course he later uses the threat of David to urge her to leave Collinwood.
The back and forth between Burke and Roger was a high point of today's episode.
Is it just me, or was it awkward for Roger to send Vicki out of her own room so he could talk to David in there.
Christine: Yes, that seemed odd, but they couldn't drag out David's bedroom set and put all the robot toys back in place just for one scene of Roger yelling at him.
I thought it was funny that Vicki offered David her Vanity Fair to read while he was being detained in her room, knowing that another issue of Mechano might teach him something he could use against her.
Shadows on the Wall
John: What ridiculous luck! Burke finds the missing valve on the side of the road. Of course Burke doesn't realize that his story contradicts Vicki's.
Roger takes a drink without even offering one to Burke. For what it's worth, Burke ultimately fixes his own after Roger leaves to talk to David.
Burke plays the piano far better than David.
Christine: I'm beginning to think that bleeder valve deserves a page of its own.
I didn't notice until the end of the episode that the foyer statue had been moved from its usual location to the side table beneath the portrait of Benjamin Collins. Am I going to have to keep an eye on that guy too? I thought I could trust him to stay put.
