I wonder if Jeff Clark is an ancestor of Peter Bradford.

Julia leaves the house and doesn't even bother to tell the rest of the family about the accident?? And where is David?

Well, I think she was in a rush to get Barnabas out of the hospital. David—I suppose he's in his room and can't appear due to the 4 (or is it 5?) main character limit.

I don't remember, what happened to Burke?

He lost his life in a plane crash in South America.

Wow, this doctor Lang is pretty quick to diagnose Barnabas as living dead. Quack!

Yes, isn't he? It strains believability more than a little.

Why does Roger think he's Joshua? I liked when Elizabeth slapped Roger.

This doctor is very creepy the way he's talking to Vicky. And what's up with Jeff? Maybe he is Peter Bradford!

The doctor's flub while telling off Jeff was intense!

And give Jeff an Emmy! That was one wild outburst!

I feel kind of bad for Jeff. I don't feel bad for Barnabas, though. He doesn't even have a reason to marry Vicky. How would he, anyway? He doesn't even have a SSN

Yay we get to see Noah again!! I love that voice.

By the way, I love that pink dress Vicky is wearing.

Yes. Something very nefarious going on there. I think he's interested in resurrecting dead bodies or something à la Frankenstein.

And what's up with Jeff? Maybe he is Peter Bradford!

Yes, apparently. Or maybe his ancestor was, and he's being possessed by him?

Interesting episodes!

Yes. He flubs lines pretty often. He's still a good actor, though. He's good at portraying a stern but mostly normal person on the surface but with that occasional wild flash in the eyes that indicates his psychotic nature.

And give Jeff an Emmy! That was one wild outburst!

Yes, it was! I had to replay that one.

Yikes! When he showed up at the door, I almost went through the ceiling!
His snooping around looking for something to steal reminds me of the old days when Willie was at Collinwood.

So where did Roger go with the picture?? A lot going on.

Good old Willie! I love and miss him!

I was wondering, if Roger thinks he's Joshua, how does he know how to drive? Did he walk all the way to town to get the picture framed? And isn't it funny how Angelique didn't start terrorizing the family until we found out about her?

Ha! Good observation. I didn't even think of that. Maybe Angelique allows him to revert to Roger and then back to Joshua once the ignition is off? I also don't understand why she needs him to become Joshua to begin with, since she can use him as Roger just as well.

And isn't it funny how Angelique didn't start terrorizing the family until we found out about her?

It's like when Vicky returned from 1795, she dragged everybody else with her. Angelique shows up, and now Peter and Noah in different forms. Maybe that time travel opened up some sort of portal through which Angelique can now travel.

And here's another question. Why is there an empty coffin in the secret room? Wasn't that removed to the old house basement when Willie freed Barnabas? Am I missing something?
Edit: Wait, now I seem to remember Willie building a new coffin in the basement. Is that right?

And isn't that a creepy house the creepy doctor lives in?

And one other thing, have you noticed the number of extreme closeups they're using now? There are especially a lot of Vicky and Barnabas. The whole show seems a little more polished and less low-budget (well, except for the background sounds).
