I suppose that the plot developments in the aftermath of Victoria's trip out of town were necessary, but the way that it is written shows a lack of Ingenuity among the writers especially since the situation building up to this wasn't really well written in the first place. In fact, the only really memorable thing about this episode is shows Victoria walking out of Collinwood and what it looks like close up heading towards the Mansion. Then you get a look at the Evans house from the outside and get to hear David Ford singing as Sam. Victoria shows up and she get some well-deserved piece from the backbiting over at the Collins mansion.
That won't be necessary first of all, we had Elizabeth, Rodger and Carolyn arguing about how to handle Victoria, then Victoria comes in and Elizabeth insists on speaking to her alone. Really nothing comes from that like you think it would since Elizabeth is in control, and then Elizabeth and Roger argue and then Elizabeth and Carolyn argue. The remainder of the episode deals with Victoria's inquisitiveness in regards to the old Collins family servant whom she apparently resembled, and this brings about a portrait of the mysterious woman which does give a little bit of a cliffhanger, but it takes a very boring 20 minutes to get there.
