I've been wondering about the poker game mentioned here for some time and just finished a second read-through of the area. I still can't find this card game. Death arrives at the barn still not knowing for whom the bell tolled; he soon finds out, does his part and leaves. It's busy, life-and-death, no time for games...and yet I seem to remember this poker game from ''somewhere''. Does anyone have a clue?  --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 19:50, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

The poker game is in [[Maskerade]]. It's confusing because that's also got Granny, a life-and/or-DEATH medical situation, and a cow. [[User:Necropants|Necropants]] ([[User talk:Necropants|talk]]) 23:46, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
:Good catch! It must be time to re-read that one; the familiarity of the phantom episode has bothered me for years.  --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 01:28, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Headology was probably the least of the skills demonstrated in this episode. It called for practical solutions to real problems, making hard decisions and maybe even a touch of magic, but not much headology beyond the expectation that people would do what Mss. Weatherwax said. --Old Dickens 15:07, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
