# 084 <4.16> Insult and Injury Tentative titles:
2 and 7 are the last two figures of the code number of the alarm system in the Gioberti House. In # 080, Richard and Terry made a deal: Richard will provide Terry with phony divorce papers and will get this year's harvest from her vineyard in return. In the current episode, however she says he gets control of her vineyard for one quarter of the market price. Explanation: As Terry will continue to own the McKay Vineyards in season 5, this can refer to his getting control only in fact by paying one quarter of the market price for her crop; "control" in that context must refer to the fact she cannot make any profit from her vineyard until the next harvest due to the sale of this year's crop. As far as their agreement in # 080 is concerned, the deal apparently must include both the phony documents and the money for the grapes. Terry certainly would not have agreed to obtain only the phony divorce papers in return for her crop even though her complete fortune was endangered by Joel's threats. Season time frame: Joel has been gone for three days (since the end of # 083). Angela to Greg: "If I'd had a son, he would be worthy of my father's legacy." — This line will get a really ironic meaning considering it will be revealed in the season 6 cliffhanger that Richard is her son. Besides, Angela adds: "It's just a shame that Julia didn't have more children." — Inconsistency: Although the audience will learn about Christopher only next season, Angela has known about him since he was born. What is she up to with this line? As seen from the production process, however, this is a natural problem: At that time, the writers apparently had no idea they would come up with the Rossini storyline later.   Mistake: Richard takes the photo of Lorraine with his left hand first, but holds it with his right hand in the subsequent frame filmed from across.This is a mistake caused by the particular close-up filming technique — check # 001 (Chase and Maggie at the Gioberti Family Cemetery) for details.
 Uncredited extra PAUL VAN appears in his usual rôle as the mustached Tuscany Valley doctor again — this time at the San Francisco bluffs behind Richard and Terry. For another appearance in this episode, see below.Compare # 227 for biographical details about this minor rôle and a list of all his appearances throughout the series. For details about the extra, compare # 014. The filming location for the scene with Richard and Terry at the San Francisco bluffs with the Pacific Ocean in the background is Palisades Park in Santa Monica, CA.
Mysterious: Why is Lance so surprised about Maggie being at the old B & G gas station? Chase and Maggie's Mercedes-Benz 300 TD is right in front of the building.   The Agretti pool is featured for the first time: There is a wooden white pool house in background. This is the only time this privately owned property in Encino, CA (the same estate as the one used as Greg's ranch home this episode, by the way) is used as the Agretti pool. In later episodes, the pool will look completely different (compare # 103 and 130).Historic allusion: Jean-Louis (Gustav) wants to go to the ballet with Emma to see SHAKESPEARE's "Romeo and Juliet". Seafood is Emma's favorite.

  Mistake: In the scene with Lance and Lorraine, the close-ups are from various takes that were combined in the editing process. This becomes apparent because Lorraine's left hand is in different positions in the subsequent frames.This is a mistake caused by the particular close-up filming technique — check # 001 (Chase and Maggie at the Gioberti Family Cemetery) for details.  Maggie goes to the Blainfield's, another San Francisco restaurant, with Charlotte. The interior shots are from the Black Forest Inn (nowadays Wilshire Restaurant) in Santa Monica, CA. Beginning in # 096 (see there), the Blainfield's terrace will be featured quite frequently.The final shooting script included Chase in the restaurant scene. According to the production report dated 11/05/1984, ROBERT FOXWORTH was unreachable for his scene though. The segment was rewritten on the spot in order to shoot without him; Chase's dialog was taken over by Maggie with slight alterations. The master had been printed by the time ROBERT finally showed. This also resulted in the deletion of an earlier scene in post-production: In that scene, Chase, Charlotte and Maggie were about to leave for the restaurant after Maggie realized that her pearls are nowhere to be found.  Uncredited extra PAUL VAN appears in his usual rôle as the mustached Tuscany Valley doctor a second time in this episode — now as a patron at the San Francisco restaurant where Richard and Melissa meet. For his first appearance in this episode, see above.Compare # 227 for biographical details about this minor rôle and a list of all his appearances throughout the series. For details about the extra, compare # 014.
Director's mistake: Lance dials not enough digits to call Lorraine at her KRDC office from Falcon Crest. For a call from the Tuscany Valley to San Francisco, he would have to dial 1 (415) plus the seven digits of the phone number. ← Previous episode... → Next episode... |
