Episode 387 offers more witchcraft-themed shenanigans, with Victoria playing the role of the "wronged woman" on the run in the woods with only a sole ally to help her. Reverend Trask proves to be a ruthless and remorseless character, but a mere pawn for the repulsively sinister Angelique.

A witch is an expert liar, even in matters of religion. But I do

Warning: Spoilers
Being questioned by Reverend Trask over her spiritual beliefs, Angelique proves herself to be very adept in lying about her dedication to darkness and claims to simply have not been baptized because she was orphaned at a young age but never had the opportunity to be. An absurd bit of hearing voices has Angelique getting a message from the almighty is that the real witch is being hidden in a glorious house on the hill, the new house. Trask's ranting reminds me of the child catcher from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", with his huge cape and oversized hat fit for a man of evil abusing his authority. The discovery of Nathan in the new house does bring on further suspicions by Trask and Joshua, acting as imperious as always, and quite pretentious in his constant demands for complete control.
This is a very good episode but not excellent because it doesn't really move the plot forward very much, just cause a bit of delays with some good detail attached. The addition of Trask to the canvas is taking us into the territory covered by Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" and it also reminds me a bit of Tim Burton's version of "Sleepy Hollow" minus the headless horseman. It is a good analogy of how good intentions like those supposedly held by Trask are actually meant to do evil, and that Angelique's manipulation proves the Reverend to be a complete fool in pointing out the real witch. Well done, but it's time to move some of these plot lines forward a little faster.
