I just finished watching this episode and came here to find out if I'd lost my nut or it actually was as bizarre as I perceived it to be. The previous episode was also a bit odd but this one, so much stranger still. The dialogue was baroque, the behaviors of the characters toward each other unfamiliar. Most of the cast seems absent and I would not have been surprised if it had turned out to all have been a dream, except this is not the sort of program to pull that stunt. I'm not sure if it's meant to be 'theater of the absurd' as one reviewer suggests. The plot and resolution are fairly clear and logical, rather it is the elaborate play of language... and the near total lack of the other servants, that sets this episode on a strange island of its own. It's hard to suggest it is a 'bad' episode... just very mismatched with the rest of the series. Sort of as if Hunter S. Thompson had stopped by to write an episode of Gilligan's Island and then disappeared in a puff of smoke. The only real complaint I'd have is that the character of Sarah deserved a better setup for her second leaving.
