Dark Shadows: Episode 3 - Vicky Meets Carolyn
And Burke's all the rage...
Episode 3 really focuses on Burke and how his reappearance in Collins Port has ruffled the feathers of Roger and his family's shipping fleet captain, Mallory. Burke Devlin is also topic of conversation between Victoria and Carolyn, who have a meet-and-greet, taking a tour of the Collinwood mansion for which they reside. Again, Vicky is told to leave by Carolyn who believes this is the last place someone from the outside should wind up living. Someone is following Victoria, opening a door that was shut and leaving a letter on her bed. Carolyn doesn't know Burke, but does give Vicky some family history because members of the Collins have portraits on the walls. Roger goes to the house of Maggie Evans' artist father, insisting they talk, stomping on the front door, heated and angered, the reason involving Burke. Burke, meanwhile, wants Joe Haskell (offering him over $2000) to get him information on the Collins since the young fisherman (who is saving up to start his own fishing business, working currently for the Collins' Shipping Fleet) is dating Carolyn. It's obvious here that Joe and Carolyn (despite what Joe might desire) will not be an item for much longer, but the proposition could eventually work in Burke's favor. Anyway, Mallory interrupts Burke's conversation with Joe, and the two, obvious animosity brewing, engage in what is an intense yet ambiguous talk about the returning local's motivation for being in Collins Port. Also, Roger seems desperate to find Maggie's father so they can talk about Burke...this mystery continues to intrigue me. The episode really is starting to establish buried secrets possibly surfacing as Burke seems to know a few things, with an agenda that is evident, and members of the Collins are quite nervous that he has returned. I love stories like this that give you bits and pieces episode per episode, just enough to wet your appetite and bring you back for more. David, the son of Roger, has yet to be seen so I think he might be the one following Vicky. Carolyn intrigues me because she seems like the kind of inquisitive, nosy sort that will cause walls to collapse around her own family, possibly even inadvertently. I like how Vicky and Carolyn have a shaky developing friendship with a slight level of nervous energy because of the place and possible sinister goings-on that infiltrate their conversations on Collinwood.
The talk of the village is all Burke Devlin. Roger needs to talk to the alcoholic local artist, Sam, as the two have ties to Burke’s imprisonment. Malloy, operations manager of the Collins Fishing Fleet, talks to Roger about Burke arriving back in town; Malloy then goes right to Burke at the Blue Whale, confronting him on matters involving his bosses. Victoria and Carolyn, after introductions, speak of Devlin. Devlin speaks to Joe about getting his own boat if he just provides “information.” Devlin is on the tongues of the principle cast, and there is some spooky goings-on regarding a door and letter noticed by Vicky.
