Some definite and sudden scene cuts in this one. Suddenly Roger is home talking to Guthrie and then suddenly Vicky is talking to Burke, and back and forth.

Once again, superb acting from Louis Edmonds at the end of the episode! Roger actually shows tenderness and vulnerability here.
I love that he does seem to care deep down about David.

The thing I don’t understand (and I guess that will be explained, eventually): why is it necessary for the son to die with her? What does she gain by that? Her anxiousness to get David makes me think it is maybe a necessity for her, somehow. But why? ......
It would make more sense if the burned body in Phoenix hadn’t occurred; then the 1967 instance would be upcoming.
I'm hoping that it all makes sense in the end.

It’s also odd at the end that Roger doesn’t say to Vicky anything at all about the book appearing to open itself. Seems that's something I would have mentioned.
I didn't think of that, but you're right. If he didn't believe in Josette's ghost before, I guess he will now.
What I keep wondering is why would Josette be the one to help in all this? Maybe because she killed herself she's doomed to an afterlife of being the Collins' guide? If not, why should she care what the people in the world that she couldn't bear to live in anymore do?
One last thought: Wouldn't it
really be a fine how-do-you-do if a person was so miserable that they commit suicide only to find that you go on living just the same after death?
