Dark Shadows Episode 7 Thoughts

i gotta get the next ep done today and i’m short on time so here’s the wiki’s summary: Teaser My name is Victoria Winters. The dead past drifts through the corridors of Collinwood and settles like dust in its corners. Spurred by hope and surrounded by fear, my search continues, as life itself continues. Not only for me, but for everyone else in this strange corner of the world, people who live with their own fears, their own hopes.

Sam returns home with drinking on his mind, but just as he begins to take his first drink, he is interrupted by Roger, who wants to talk to him sober, something Sam has no intention of doing.

Act I

Roger wants to know where Sam was last night, but Sam doesn't know. Sam reveals that he knew of Burke's arrival, which makes Roger angry. Roger's worried because Devlin's back in town. Sam is guilt-ridden about something and spent last night crying at the ocean. Roger wants to know what Sam intends to do about Burke, and Sam agrees that Burke probably wants revenge against Roger. Sam says he will do nothing.

At the Collinsport Inn diner, Burke doesn't recognize Maggie until she tells him that he used to pose for her father. Burke recalls he has an unfinished portrait at Sam’s house. Maggie alludes to her father's drinking by saying he hasn't felt like finishing anything for a few years unless it is 190 proof. Maggie asks Burke if he's made it, and he accuses her of being too nosy. Victoria shows up asking to use the phone and gets change from Maggie, who thinks she is brave for living at Collinwood. Burke asks Maggie to watch his coffee as he goes to see what Victoria is up to, revealing he knows who she is to Maggie in the process. Meanwhile, Roger is furious that Sam went to Collinwood and spoke to Victoria after agreeing to never go near Collinwood. Roger is determined to intercept Victoria before she sees Burke and discovers via telephone that Victoria has left Collinwood. Victoria is unable to complete her phone call and Burke is waiting when she leaves the phone booth.

Act II

Burke and Victoria have coffee and doughnuts together, but Victoria is very anxious to get away to make her telephone call. After running down their meeting, Burke points out he's her oldest friend in Collinsport. He tries to find out what she has heard about him and he offers her a doughnut several times. When she says he seems odd, he points out that she has left New York to come to a small town, opposite of what most girls would do. She points out that he has also come from the big city to a small town. He says he has his reasons, but doesn't understand hers. She gets up to try her telephone call again and he stops her. She explains she is being paid well to tutor a young boy and that is her only reason for coming there. Burke begs her to stay, insisting they will chat about the weather and clam chowder and nothing else. Maggie comes over to offer Victoria moral support and Burke sends her off to get a newspaper. After she leaves he tells Victoria that he modelled for her father. Burke slips and asks about Roger, and Victoria reminds him they were supposed to discuss clam chowder. She reveals that she told Roger about Burke's arrival, but refuses to say anything else. Roger somehow ends up at the front desk of the Inn, where he learns from Maggie that Victoria and Burke are having coffee in the restaurant. She asks Roger if he remembers Burke, and he leaves, without saying a word.

Act III

Burke tells Victoria about a time when he was 10 and got spanked at Collinwood while prowling through the West Wing looking for ghosts. When Burke tells her that a 10 year old boy could not resist exploring the town's real haunted house, Victoria says she doesn't believe in ghosts, which Burke questions, now that she has spent the night there. Maggie arrives with the newspaper and Victoria takes the opportunity to head back to the phone booth. Maggie mentions that Roger was in the lobby looking for her, but took off after she told him she was there with Burke. Burke expresses disappointment at missing a chance to see Roger again. Victoria goes to make her phone call. Burke plans to stop by Sam's, and is surprised to learn (from Maggie) that Sam drinks. Back at the house, Sam gets a call from Maggie, who is too late to tell Sam that Burke is on his way there. Sam isn't drunk enough to talk to Burke after Burke shows up at the Evans cottage. Burke’s happy to see Sam, though the opposite doesn’t appear to be true. Sam’s upset by Burke’s visit and finally asks him to leave.

Maggie meets Victoria in the lobby and asks how her telephone call is going. The phone rings, she asks for Miss Hopewell from the Hammond Foundling Home, she says it is important, very important!

Roger is a cunt.

Got more Maggie, yay!

People on tumblr keep telling me that Burke is a villain but he hasn’t actually done anything bad yet so y’all lyin’.

Also hey I just reread the summary and did whatever adult who lived in when Burke was 10 deadass spank a child that wasn’t their own?

Top 5 characters are the same.
