She probably thought she had time to celebrate for all of ten seconds to learn the old arch-villain, Angelique, had been downgraded to Problematic Protagonist, but no, there was a whole new arch-villain waiting in the wings.

Dark storytelling that David Lynch merely aspires to: there’s still nothing like Dark Shadows.

and ds does this so many times like first with jason - the thing that ultimately kills jason isn’t one of his many enemies, but the fact that he turns against and hurts willie, his former friend who tried to help him out of danger many times and who he thinks he can now totally overpower. and then actually BARNABAS does the same thing with willie where the only reason him killing maggie is thwarted is that willie does something about it which, like, it never occurred to barnabas to be worried about because he didn’t think willie could actually like, affect stuff. and then petofi dies, after barnabas and quentin and everyone all totally run out of ways to defeat him, just because he tries to kill aristede, who was never anything but loyal to him, for a petty reason. it’s always a sexy plot beat
