Dark Shadows, Volume 5, Disc 2 - Episode 10

As the family mourns Jerimiah, Joshua learns that Barnabas plans to marry house maid Angelique.  He offers to buy her off, but she refuses.

Barnabas sees Josette at Jerimiah’s grave. He takes full blame for his death, and they have a nice chat. On a roll, he attempts to tell her about Angelique, but she keeps shushing him.

Angelique agrees to honor the mourning period before marrying Barnabas, using her time to begin a campaign to drive Josette mad. Her first act is to raise the corpse of Jerimiah right in front of Josette. Drastic, but effective.

Refreshing Candor

Refreshing CandorThis bright-eyed bird is an absolute delight. Forthright but never cruel, he’ll grace your yard with songs of experience. Unfortunately, petty and resentful birds will be on him like a $20 suit. The ensuing fights leave most viewers traumatized. Endangered.

Dark Shadows, Volume 5, Disc 2 - Episode 9

Barnabas reluctantly agrees to honor his promise to marry Angelique, although he reminds her that he still loves Josette. She is elated to have won her prize in spite of this.  

Just to be sure that her rival gets no ideas, she convinces Josette that Barnabas hates her. Josette grows despondent. Later, she is awakened by the newly minted ghost of Jerimiah. 

Ain’t no one happy ‘cept Angelique.

The Bronx Cheer

The Bronx CheerKnown for its disagreeable call and pugnacious manner, the Bronx Cheer cuts no slack. Pity the bird who finds that one is nesting near him. He’ll pick a fight just for fun and that’s the least of it.

Advice: Do not try to reason with him, he’ll only find it amusing. Pffffffffft!
