The camera might not be close to Joan Bennett, but it's quite obvious when she accidentally refers to Burke as Roger and quickly fixes the line in order to move on. This wasn't called "Mike Shadows" for nothing, so if you're watching it over again, it's fun to pick that up rather than just concentrate on the dialogue, characterization and the plot.
The previous episode ended with Burke storming into Collinwood to wait for Rodger, and here, he ends up in a confrontation with Elizabeth that has her at first aggressive than becoming charming, even offering him tea. Victoria interrupts their conversation, and Burke's aggression soon disappears. Elizabeth indicates that she's known Burke nearly all of his life, and Burke tells both women individually certain details of his past.
Roger isn't in the mood to come home to Burke after his confrontation with Sam, and this episode gives indications that certain parties are cracking up. Getting past the technical mistakes and flubbed lines is easy as the episode flows quickly and filled with plenty of drama.
