DARK SHADOWS 187

 

Burke: “I think we all agree that nothing is permanent.”

Carolyn: “Not even death.”

 

Burke and Vicki both get IDKs. Burke also gets this: “I don’t even know what I do know!”  Vicki gets an almost I don’t exactly know, too.

 

David tells Burke the way to his room when Burke carries home and to it: straight ahead and then turn left at the corner. THEN, we see Vicki enter David’s room, which from the hallway angle we see is on the right.

 

The first minutes or so have some light issues as Carolyn comes down to the foyer and Vicki and Burke return from the Old House with David.  

 

Burke drinks cognac. Roger drinks, too.

 

Johnson, the killer with a big mouth, is not seen but is talked about. She makes hot chocolate for David and also stays with him for a bit.

 

Roger and Burke working together to protect David is amazingly warm and clever. David gets an IDK and IDU while Burke gets another IDK, too.

 

Downstairs, Vicki gets another IDK.

 

187

      As Burke carries David in to Collinwood, he tells a protesting David, that

      this will make up for all the weight lifting he's been doing. It’s very

      VERY dark in the studio set and then ...the lights go on.

 

      David tells him his room is straight ahead and turn left at the corridor.

      Vicki tells Carolyn about Guthrie's death. And...the facts seem to change.

      Vicki tells her Guthrie was pinned in the car and burned to death whereas

      before Joe relayed info that Guthrie died instantly. Burke tries to figure

      things out with Carolyn about Laura, "I don't even know what I know," he

      says in Lou Costello style. They talk about values undergoing a change.

      Carolyn tells Burke about Laura, "She might do anything to any one of us."

      David wants his mother, he doesn't like living here any longer with

      everyone watching him all the time. Laura's backed into a corner and has

      never backed away from a fight. Roger returns and already heard the bad

      news. He thanks Burke for bringing David back and isn't even that upset

      that he was not informed about the séance. While Roger talks I think we

      see a studio light.

 

      The two, Burke and Roger, agree to put their differences aside; Roger

      tells Burke it is his vendetta but they will put it on intermission. Burke

      tells them that nothing is permanent. Carolyn adds, "Not even death."

      David has prophesied his own death by fire...but has he? If it was the

      other David, then it was the ghost telling them the future or the past.

      David gets cocoa from Mrs. Johnson but she's unseen, thank goodness. The

      harpy. Burke and Roger, in a way strange scene, go see David and plan to

      get him away from Laura without his knowing. Burke will take David on a

      fishing trip to a fishing lodge on the Canadian border where they

      muskiees, canoes, and a sea plane. Vicki realizes from the newspaper that

      the other David died 100 years ago tonight. But...see above and below...a

      good episode...I like it when former enemies unite for a good cause and

      Burke and Roger play it to the hilt, Louis Edmonds is actually very

      likable again and more so than ever before as he genuinely seems to care

      for David...one thing: if he was told, maybe he could have been with

      Guthrie and maybe Guthrie would have been spared or something...
