As expected, Laura is the center of the show now and her naive stature can only be interpreted as the calm before the storm in episodes 132-135~
(episode #131 doesn't exist because of the numbering system I mentioned before)
Burke Devlin sees
Laura as an opportunity to prove his innocence. He tries to make contact with her a couple of times and
Laura is obviously avoiding him. However, their paths cross in the diner one day. They have an awkward chat but compliment each other.
Burke asks if she's willing to help him out to which she replies she may after she helped
herself out. Old flames (yes pun intended) speak of
David as
the son they could have had.

Laura is drawn to Burke's flame |
Sam Evans is awfully worried that she may expose his involvement in the accident. She also has a strange effect on him, making him keep drawing the painting of her portrayed in flames. He tries to stop himself but something else seems to be in control here. He too unwillingly runs into her at the diner. They have a little chat, where
Laura asks about his paintings..hmm?

Sam meets Laura & tries to stop himself from painting |
Roger Collins is also worried about the accident and wants to get a hold of her before
Burke does. That's why he suggests to have her live in Collinwood for a while. When he asks which side she's on on the
Burke thing, she replies her priority is
David and she has her
own ways of handling things. Her intention to legally have
David is somewhat convenient for him as he doesn't really like the boy.

A dysfunctional marriage |
Elizabeth Collins has never been fond of the
old Laura, a flimsy irresponsible gold-digger but she's taken aback by her improvements. She thinks her nephew
David should stay in Collinwood nonetheless but is kind enough to let
Laura stay as well (for the reasons
a) To keep an eye on her and away from Burke
b) To observe her relationship with David).
Laura is given
Matthew's cottage for her privacy.

Sisters-in-law |
David Collins is the one that reacts "the strongest and the strangest" of them all. For months he's been saying he hated his father because of the way he treated his mother. But when
Laura arrives, he starts to have intense nightmares about her and flames. He also claims to feel her presence and see her outside his window even when she isn't around. Right before meeting her, he switches from extreme emotions of happines to fear. When he does meet her at the house, he sees an aura of fire around her that makes him run to his room to everybody's surprise. He claims to
Vicki that woman isn't his mother. His concerns are dismissed as nervousness of meeting her but he isn't sure. Later that night when
Laura moves into
Matthew's cottage in a hurry, David has nightmares in which
Laura calls out to him.

Laura's flames scare David |
Vicki, Maggie and
Carolyn (
who unfortunately reappears after almost a 10 episode absence) seem to be fond of the woman so far.
What will happen now that she lives on the grounds of Collinwood is to be seen~
