DARK SHADOWS 553
DARK SHADOWS 553
Nancy Barrett. It is
Also: a BIG tree behind Adam
shakes as if it will fall. Carolyn comes down the steps at Collinwood to Jeff.
It is 11:35 (or is that 12: 35?) and Jeff worries. He’s also smoking. Vicki’s
been gone over two hours so it seems that it is 11:35. He gets an IDK. Carolyn
tries to comfort him and rubs his back for a short bit. She tells him that
Vicki and Barnabas are good friends. Love Carolyn’s green, orange and white
trimmed outfit.
Carolyn tells him Vicki is
very punctual. Jeff wants to go find out what is keeping her. Carolyn offers to
show him the way but he claims he knows it already, even though he’s never been
there. He seems to lie as he tells her that Vicki gave him the directions to it
once and he remembers those directions.
Adam brings Vicki to the West
Wing. MIKE and MIKE SHADOW. “Your name is Vicki.” Vicki tells him, “I’ve been here
before.”
Vicki also, stunningly, gets
an “I KNOW” and “I UNDERSTAND.” Finally!
Sadly, not moments later, as
the two discuss why she is here, she gets a “I don’t understand you.”
He seems to admit that she
never did anything to hurt him and only met him once, in the jail. He admits to
seeing her kiss Jeff and didn’t mean to watch.
Is the show trying to say
this is the room or the Wing where Vicki was held captive by little monster
David? Or was she in the West Wing some other time? Adam and Vicki talk. He
doesn’t want to hurt her but he tells her if she tries to run away or if she screams,
“I’ll have to kill you.”
Jeff goes to the Old House
and tells Barnabas Vicki never arrived back at Collinwood. Barnabas tells him
she left 40 minutes ago. Does the time here seem a bit off? Jeff asks since he
was coming the other way, why they didn’t see each other. Barnabas’s answer, “I
don’t know.”
He recalls Adam’s words and
we hear them, too. Barnabas says, “My God,”
and when Jeff questions him, Barnabas says, “I don’t know.”
Jeff asks if something’s happened and he repeats “I don’t know.” They both feel they are both to blame for letting her walk alone in the woods at night. The windows look different from other times in the series. The two search the woods as a storm comes up. They split up. There is a smaller path to the garden behind the house, not a direct path. A thunderstorm approaches.
Carolyn writes in the drawing
room. As she does, there is someone lurking outside the drawing room doors. A
stage hand? Someone knocks.
It is Barnabas who gets an
IDK when she asks if something is wrong. He tells her what is happening and
wants to know where Adam is. The two tell each other nothing. Carolyn later
goes to Adam in the West Wing. We see moving shadows there. Barnabas in talking
to the dope Carolyn calls her, “Vicki,” in a flub. WHY won’t Barnabas tell her
what Adam wanted: a bride. That would make Carolyn give him up, the little fool
that she is. With Vicki’s life in danger, she still protects Adam, the dumb
blonde Carolyn is.
Carolyn gets a “I Don’t Understand”
when asking why he thinks Adam is behind Vicki’s disappearance. She’s an idiot.
Adam lies to Carolyn outside
the door and seems to be blocking her way. He claims he’s never lied to her.
She gets another IDU.
Adam tells her that Barnabas
is lying. Carolyn asks why. Adam says, “I don’t know.”
Adam lets Carolyn into the
room to see if Vicki is in there. Vicki is gone.
Adam tells Carolyn that Vicki
once visited him in jail with another woman. He lies about seeing Vicki.
Carolyn tells him, “Vicki is very important to everyone in my family.” Carolyn
trusts him and says she is sorry for doubting him. When Adam acts outraged that
she thinks he has something to do with Vicki’s disappearance, Carolyn gets
another IDK.
Adam seems to get very happy
that she gets happy to know it isn’t true and it’s both romantic and very, very
creepy of him as he’s totally lying to her and seemingly still interested in
her, romantically shall we say.
She does not search the
closet in the room, the doofus. She leaves. Adam checks on Vicki…who is tied up
in the closet. Bound and gagged.
Review: Pretty quick and
pretty good. But everyone here is lying except Vicki: Barnabas lies, Jeff lies
(about knowing his way to the Old House I think; I think he’s been there
before?), Carolyn lies, Adam lies. And what’s odd is that each of them expects
the others to NOT lie.
In the teaser, when Adam picks up Vicki in the woods, the tree behind him wobbles alarmingly.
When Jeff tells Carolyn that Vicki’s been gone for two hours, there’s a series of thumps and crashes from the studio.
Barnabas has a pair of flashlights at the Old House, which he and Jeff use when they search the woods. Barnabas doesn’t have any electric lights in the house — he lives by candlelight — so I don’t know why he keeps flashlights on hand.
Barnabas says to Carolyn, “Vicki… aren’t you the least bit concerned that Vicki may be in danger?”
The closet in Adam’s room is brand-new; there was a brick wall there before.
