Featured review
This is the one where I think some funny business was gonna end up happening
I noticed a review for another episode took notice of a sister freaking the hell out over her brother acting strangely and accused him of having another woman. And I didn't come away with an incest vibe for that episode. I considered the point of view for the time period. The sister doesn't work and she'd be out of a home that she's lived in long enough for her to condider it's also her home and she would have to find work in order to support herself. That's quite a lot of changes to be going through.
Caroline and Collin are the leads in this story. They're supposed to be brother and sister but there's this layer of jealousy going on. And it might be going on from both angles. Caroline's getting all hot and heavy with this really good looking guy when Collin and a mysterious woman show up. Turns out this good looking guy is already married and this mysterious woman is his wife. Caroline's upset at Collin.
I can see both sides tbh. I don't want or need any drama in my life so I really would prefer somebody give me a heads up if I'm doing something that's gonna blow up in my face. For the record, I'd say Caroline didn't know this guy was married. So I can also see her point of view if Collin just decides to show up with this guy's wife instead of calmly sitting down and saying 'You might not know it but this guy's married!'
Looks are also a sore spot between the siblings. Caroline's supposedly plain looking but it's another case of 'Hollywood Plain'. Cloris Leachman looks very pretty here but they plain her up by wearing her hair up and minimal makeup. Caroline laments that she's pretty much used to everybody oohing and aging over Collin while she gets pretty much ignored.
Collin has a girlfriend and Caroline's not too happy about that. Caroline gets pushed to the side since this girlfriend's in the picture.
Collin's going away for a short time and Caroline will stay behind as they get some stuff done around their place, mainly painting. Caroline's organizing an accident for Collin to have once he gets back home. Of course the mixture of paint being close to fire isn't a good one and Collin has his face burned and he's lost his sight. Caroline's proving herself to be quite manipulative. Collin has had many surgeries on his face but he's under the belief he looks grotesque and doesn't want to see anybody and he doesn't want anybody to see him. Caroline's playing Collin like a fiddle. The camera pans on Collin's face and you'd think you see the face of a disfigured man. He's not disfigured. His face looks absolutely the same. Caroline's not gonna tell him. She's won and she's got her brother all to herself now.
This is my interpretation for the story. An episode like this might call for different interpretations from different people. A lot of people might not go to the incestaous theory I moved to. Lot of people might look at it strictly from the jealousy angle. No matter what you come away with, this is an excellent episode.
