Victoria, other than the opening narration, and Matthew are missing in action after he lunged for her in the previous episodes, and here, the focus is on Burke and Joe search for Victoria and Elizabeth's warning to Carolyn of Berks intentions. It's obvious that she's appreciative of his searching for Victoria but still refuses to trust him as far as the family is concerned. Roger comes home from work and isn't at all gracious towards Burke, acting theatrical and grand, in a way that only Louis Edmonds could. It becomes a contest between him and Thayer David as to who the most theatrical actor is at this point of the series.
An amusing moment comes between birth and Joe when Joe apologizes for lunging for him earlier, giving Mitchell Ryan a great comeback line. It's the official end for Carolyn and Joe as he breaks up with her for good, and her Pride refuses to allow it without getting in the last word. The tension is still building up, and the camera moves around the busy Collins household in a very interesting manner.
Elizabeth attitude towards Burke is presented in a realistic light, and of course, Roger would never budge as far as he is concerned, continuing to insult him even though he is trying to help the family. Even as a power-hungry villain, Burke shows that at least compared to Roger, he does have some higher ethics. It's obvious in Burke's exit that his character was equally a victim of Rodger as Roger's ex-wife was.
