Episode 836: Murder, She Wrought
In which I am surprised that Grayson Hall seems to be using her own native accent throughout the episode.
Episode 837: The Trip
Dr Julia Hoffman and her habit of pronouncing people dead, sometimes the same person twice in one day.

Sebastian Shaw’s terrible clothes, Julia Hoffman’s ridiculous bossiness, and Barnabas Collins’ apparent sincerity.
