Allusions[]

  • Reference is made to Doctor Brooks in this episode. Doctor Brooks was the family physician to the Collins family in the late 19th century. Although he never appears on-screen, he has treated Jamison Collins and may have even treated Rachel Drummond back in episode 776. According to Jamison (possessed by Count Petofi), Brooks is not a very good doctor.
  • Quentin Collins makes reference to Victor Fenn-Gibbon, which is an alias used by Andreas Petofi.

Quotes[]

  • Jamison Collins: I find your Maine weather most stimulating this time of year. Mr. Collins, you look a little pale. Perhaps you ought to get out into the weather I find simply marvelous. Brisk and stimulating, there seems to be a scent of discovery out of doors, particularly about you.
  • Edward Collins: Jamison, I don't understand what you're talking about.
  • Jamison Collins But you will. Before this day is through, you will know many things that you know not now. Including the truth about yourself.

....

  • Quentin Collins: Evil spirit, possessor of that which is not thine to possess... depart! Depart, I say!
  • Jamison Collins: And I say, as soon as you’re finished with all the mumbo-jumbo, would you hand me a glass of mineral water?

....

  • Edward Collins: I am preparing for the moment when Barnabas Collins will be destroyed. I don't like his victims too near the house.

....

  • Quentin Collins: What did you think when you looked at that little boy with gypsy eyes and the Collins name?

....

  • Jamison Collins: He's not a very good doctor. He examined me for nearly an hour, and didn’t notice that I only had one hand.

....

  • Jamison Collins: My father’s not here. That's a peacock! A vain, and a little man! Name-proud!
