Murder on the Rocks?
mark.waltz30 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The sheriff questions Burke Devlin over his whereabouts on the evening of Bill's death which he reveals took place around 10:45 that night. It's not an accusation, nor is Burke named as a definitive suspect, but it's obvious that he's a definite person of interest. Burke insists that Roger Collins lied about not knowing why Bill had called them all there. The sheriff is vague in his intentions, but he is going to leave no ocean rock unturned until he gets some answers. Maybe it's murder, maybe it's not is his attitude, and he's not going to label it either until he's sure.

Victoria and Maggie spend time together talking about the tragedy, and the purpose of their conversation is a combination of recap and the two young women bonding. There needs to be episodes like this as a possible murder mystery is set up, and the writing serves a direct purpose. Of episodes where little happens, this has been one of the easiest to get through, and while "Dark Shadows" would have more intense days down the curving Maine roads, this is an ok way to pass 20 minutes.

"You Know What the Rocks Are Like Around Here"
wes-connors12 October 2011
At the Collinsport hotel restaurant, Burke (Mitchell Ryan) and Maggie (Kathryn Leigh Scott) discuss the deceased Bill Malloy, who gave Burke his "start" working on a boat. After learning Malloy is most assuredly dead, Burke has some trouble remembering his lines, shouting what he recalls. Burke goes to see what Sheriff Patterson (Dana Elcar) knows. The sheriff isn't forthcoming, calling Burke "Malloy Burke" once, then interrogating his visitor. A recovered watch shows Malloy died at 10:45. The atmosphere percolates with thoughts of murder. Vicki and Maggie have clam chowder, lobster roll and coffee for lunch. Looking forward to dinner at the Evans' cottage, Vicki wonders if Sam knows anything about her mysterious past. Judging from the dispensers on the counter at the hotel restaurant, Collinsport residents like their coffee sweet.

A welcome return for blustering Burke

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 57 sees a welcome return for the blustering Burke, who shouts all his dialogue with aplomb and burns up the screen a little. He's determined to find out the mystery behind Malloy's death. Victoria also shows up and has a grand tea but other isn't very relevant to the story.
