Episode 307 isn't too hot. Most of it is made up between an argument between Burke and an infuriatingly blind Victoria, whose continued championing of Barnabas makes absolutely zero sense (especially given her suspicion in earlier episodes).

mark.waltz5 October 2021One of the frustrating things about this show that I can never get used to is the aggravating naivete of its heroine, Victoria Winters. Certainly Alexandra moltke is a beautiful young lady, but her character hasn't really gained any smarts in the year-and-a-half that the show has been on. With the arrival of Barnabas, she was guaranteed to move into front-burner status as the desire of the two men after her, Barnabas and Burke. Now she's furious with Burke for investigating Barnabas, and even though he has justifiable reasons, she as opposed to it.
Nothing really happens in a Gothic manner in this episode with the exception of Burke and Victoria and Joe and Maggie discussing the mysterious Sarah and what happened the night that Maggie returned. All that really is revealed in this episode is that Victoria will not marry Burke if he continues to, in her mind, harass Barnabas. The only other real interesting thing that occurs is the presence of the theme from "A Man and a Woman" in the background on the jukebox at the Blue Parrot. It's the first time we have heard a genuine familiar tune, and I am hoping that the record of that regularly heard instrumental music has finally been buried in the Collins family crypt.
