When Willie comes marching home.....

Warning: Spoilers
The introduction of one of "Dark Shadows" most memorable supporting characters comes nearly 200 episodes in, and you could easily replace Willie with Igor. We're just a handful of episodes where a major twist in the show changes the direction of the show, so a lot is happening in a short period of time. Hot tempered and lascivious Willis ogles Victoria and tries to start a fight with a customer who accidentally bumped into him, and Burke, out with Victoria, is immediately suspicious of both Jason and Willie, neither of whom he had met before.

Maggie questions her father further, and he tries to cover for what he did in the past. But she is shocked and makes a suggestion of how he could make things right. This is a bit of plot development, increasing the cast and moving old plots from the early days ahead a bit before going on to the next bit of grand guignole. This is one of the first times where Katherine Leigh Scott gets to do something substantial, and she's overdue for her first real story.

Revelatory

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 199 of the show is not merely content with featuring sinister newcomer Jason but adds in the ultra-creepy Willie to the mix. Willie is certainly an uncomfortable presence, lusting after Victoria in some mildly disturbing scenes, but the main drama here comes from Sam's revelation to Burke.
