Of Spooks and Soaps (Dark Shadows episodes 1127-1128)

[neuralclone]

There are two concurrent plots running on Dark Shadows at the moment: one, the story of a headless dead sorcerer running around killing people, the other a traditional soap staple involving a relationship triangle and a custody dispute. And the weird thing is, I'm enjoying the Soap plot so much more than the Spook plot. I think it is because the Soap plot involves relatable human emotions, whereas our headless boogeyman is just capital 'E' Evil for the sake of it.
