At the Collinsport hotel restaurant, Maggie (Kathryn Leigh Scott) handles her props very well as Malloy (Frank Schofield) arrives for coffee and conversation. The coffee costs ten cents, but the conversation is free. They discuss Sam, who hasn't been himself since Burke came back to town. Malloy thinks Sam may possess dangerous information. Vicki (Alexandra Moltke) walks in and lets Malloy know Liz is looking for him. Maggie tells Vicki her father turned moody ten years ago, even though he sold "a bunch of paintings" for a lot of money...
At the Blue Whale, Joe (Joel Crothers) looks for Carolyn but finds Malloy, clearing his throat. Malloy cryptically tells Joe he's investigating something. Later, Malloy drinks with a tormented Sam (David Ford), and reminds him, "Burke Devlin and Laura and Roger Collins were in a car that killed someone." We now know Laura Collins was in the car with Burke and Roger. The unnamed comic strip character Maggie refers to is "Joe Btfsplk" from the "Li'l Abner" comic strip. Perfect for "Dark Shadows", he always appears with a dark cloud over his head...
