DARK SHADOWS 441
441
Joan. The narration tells us that Trask
will find a fate worse than death.
Reprise which seems exactly the same.
Trask voice over. Maude’s unblinking
dead body is …well, I give the actress credit for not blinking. This is
indicative of DS deaths: the bodies have
their eyes wide open but
unstaring and unblinking. Nathan wants
Trask to deliver a letter to
Millicent and as Nathan is not welcome at
Collinwood, he needs Trask to
bring it. Trask, at first, refuses but
Nathan sees the arm of Maude from
under the blanket that Trask stupidly
threw over her body..she’s on his
bed and was found that way. Nathan, at
first, believes Trask just had a
girl over and that she’s asleep. He says
things like, “You’re a man after
my own heart” and “I never find them
waiting for me when I come home.”
Trask tells him she’s dead and he finds
out it is Maude by looking at her.
Trask and he figure if the town never
finds out about this, his name will
not be tarnished or gossiped about.
Nathan tells him he will help him if
THE PRICE IS RIGHT. Trask will deliver
his letter. He will do it tomorrow
morning but Nathan will help him after he
delivers the letter. “I don’t
trust anyone.” Trask talks him into it
anyway. Nathan will get rid of
Maude’s body tonight. Nathan gets an IDK
sort of.
Millicent uses the tarot cards to plot a
disaster on Nathan involving the
tower of destruction, the star, the death
of feeling (her love), the moon,
the chariot, and news that’s hidden for a
long time, the lover, etc. With
her at the top of the card pyramid as the
high priestess. She talks to
herself and says that the death of her
feeling of love has been replaced
by hatred. Naomi asks whom she is talking
to—and Millicent says to Nathan.
Millicent explains the cards to her.
Naomi thinks she needs to stop
talking this way and act this way and get
over it. The lover is dead,
Millicent says.
Trask comes to deliver the letter. Millicent
gets an IDK. Naomi is there and denies him the
chance to get to her but Millicent tells
her to let him in. She also
states that Naomi may stay (“I keep no
secrets from cousin Naomi”) and she
abides by and approves Naomi’s decision
to tear the letter up…in word
only. After Trask leaves and Naomi goes
into another room, Millicent tries
to piece the letter back together.
Trask has a dream and thinks he hears
Abigail’s voice in it. We see those
psychedelic lights again but this time
there is no Julia medallion. Lacey
is terrible as he says, very stiffly,
“Where….are…you?” But he’s usually
very good. He sees a door and tinsel
streamers on it. In his dream, he
hears the voice of a female tell him to
find out the secret and that she
knows the secret. It sounds like Abigail.
In the door is Maude’s wet body,
a ghost possibly, that tells him THEY
(Nathan and? Noah?) threw her body
into the water. This ghost is a bit
scary. Trask calls for Abigail who
shows up and tells him to go to the Old
House to find out the secret of
the witch. She shows him a visual of the
Old House but the hand is there
beckoning him to go there, also. Would
you go? When he wakes up, he
decides he must go to the old house.
Vicki is talking to someone,
maybe at the Old
House but there are steps in the shot and
Alexandra gets very upset as
there is hammering, bumping, thumping going
on in the background and
distracting her and she rolls her eyes. I
know I saw this scene but I
would have thought I'd have seen it
already as there are not many black
and whites to go and Vicki's really not
in it that much...anyone have any
idea which ep this is? How'd I miss that
or did they edit that out of the
DVDs. If they did, I’m pissed off. If
not, where is it? I would have sworn
it was during the BARNABAS INTRO
stuff...and maybe it was he she was
talking to or maybe Willie???I'm baffled.
