Dark Shadows: Volume 5, Disc 2 - Episode 1

The countess confronts Vicky about her ability to predict the future. She incites a house-wide witch hunt, opening Vicky to grave danger. Vicky doesn’t help her case by hiding a family history dating into the 2oth century (oh, you just know this will turn up later) and hanging around with the “devil cat.”

Harsh witch hater Abagail gets a start when her brother Joshua turns from a cat back to his human form. To top off her night, she and the Countess search Vicky’s clothes, finding a bracelet with a devil charm. They send for Reverend Trask, the most enthusiastic witch hunter in television history.

The Windy Pippet

The Windy PippetA diet of fruit and berries does sound healthy, but it has a dark side, as anyone who has ever stood upwind of this bird will tell you. Some nice chunky birdseed would do him a world of good, but I’m afraid that we’re dealing with a purist. Advice: move quickly, re-think breathing.

Dark Shadows: Volume 5, Disc 1 - Episode 10

Jerimiah and Josette cannot be found, and their horses are missing. Jilted groom Barnabas clings to the impossible hope that they are not together. He lurches through the woods searching for Josette, but instead encounters an apparation created by Angelique. The phantom claims to be Jerimiah. He tells Barnabas that he and Josette are together. Naturally.

Because that wasn’t weird enough, a voice tells Barnabas to go to the main road. There he finds Josettes’s mud spattered wedding veil. 

To Angelique’s chagrin, Barnabas declares that no matter what Josette has done, he will love her forever.
