Shadows on the Wall: Episode 9

 

Before continuing, you may enjoy revisiting our original 50th anniversary summary and commentary: https://dsb4idie.blogspot.com/2016/07/episode-9-7766.html


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.   

Three favorite teacups on the tray.

What kid would leave the cup and pick up the shattered pieces?
Perhaps our first evidence of paranormal activity at Collinwood?
