This was a strangely written one. I completely forgot it was supposed to be set in Victorian times because Barbara's speech was too modern. It could just as easily have been set a century later in a conservative town in the countryside.

I did guess at the twist of Anton being the son at the point when the father was saying he couldn't tell him to leave because he had to repay a debt. I thought only a father's guilt would have compelled him to keep around the guy his family begged him to throw out.

What a nice surprise to hear at the end that Anton was played by the late Michael Zaslow, who won an Emmy for playing a character not too far removed from Anton, the unforgettable Roger Thorpe on Guiding Light. Both actor and character are still missed.
