Shadows on the Wall: Episode 47

Then & Now

John: Liz lets her hair down, she plays the piano, she's paranoid, and she giggles like a schoolgirl... maybe it's time Carolyn has the talk with her mother about the dangers of controlled substances.

Why didn't Burke break the door down at Bill's house? He said that's how far he was willing to go — and he even pointed out that Bill's car was there! What if poor Bill was incapacitated, or needed help? 

Christine: Burke came back to the office saying he's either out or dead. It is curious that he didn't break down the door if he suspected Bill could have been dead. 

John: Sam telling Roger the he could kill him doesn't make him seem to be less of a suspect in Bill's mysterious disappearance. 

The one thing I can't imagine Roger would ever do is leave Burke Devlin unattended in his office!

Christine: Roger's willingness to leave Burke in his office seemed to send a message that he didn't consider Burke much of a threat.


Shadows on the Wall

John: Where's a pen tracker when we need one! Or more importantly, when Roger needs one.

Roger must have felt that a celebration nightcap was in order.

Christine: His whistling a jaunty tune and carelessly tossing his coat on the foyer table make him seem like a kid who evaded the principal's office. 

I'm considering whether or not a clock collection is in order. Or perhaps a ship collection. There's an interesting ship in a bottle beneath the clock in Roger's office.



A few more things worth noticing…
