Then & Now
John: Why didn't Bill Malloy go up to Burke's room after he hung up on him on the hotel house phone?
With all of the time travel in our future, it's interesting that they never developed the other governesses who leap off Widow's Hill.
Carolyn provides this episode's ghost whisper!
Elizabeth also provides one, but quickly points out that she's referring to David.
In the outro, we learn that 2026 is also the 60th anniversary of The Newlywed Game!
Christine: Perhaps the stories of governesses leaping from Widows' Hill became a convenient way of explaining away more mysterious ends. After all, consider the fates of Phyllis Wicke, Rachel Drummond, Daphne Harridge–and, ultimately, Victoria Winters herself.
Yesterday I said Joe doesn't fire Carolyn up the way bikers and reanimated dead men do. I forgot to mention wealthy ex-cons who threaten her with a paddling.
Shadows on the Wall
John: Isn't it odd that the shattered teacup is on the ground in the foyer, but none of the broken pieces are? Where are the missing pieces!
Christine: Perhaps David is getting the blame for real poltergeists who spirited away the broken pieces.

Though there are more opportunities in the future - especially in certain color episodes - right now, while the work is still fresh, I like to appreciate the skillful painting done directly on the concrete studio floor to simulate stone tile in the foyer. In the same way, the intricate work done to render parquet flooring in the drawing room is just as marvelous, considering it too would have been executed on-site. All that masking and layering of colors by hand must have been backbreaking labor. Camera and foot traffic take a toll on both floors as the show progresses, but these early entries show me how much fine work came from a talented scenic paint crew who remain largely unsung and anonymous.
