Barnabas prepares to leave the old house to kill Maggie. As he steps outside, Julia is waiting for him. She says she must speak to him, and he invites her in. She tells him she know he plans to kill Maggie. He points out that she's been talking to his 'trusted servant' Willie. He says Willie tends to exaggerate what he says. He tells Julia that he would only have to kill Maggie if her memory returned. He tells her that he trusts her implicitly when she says Maggie won't remember. She points out that he's lying to her. He tells her if that's true, she'll accept Maggie's death as necessary.



She says that if he does kill Maggie, he'll be revealed for what he is and destroyed. She says that she gave a letter to a trusted friend to turn over to authorities in the event of her or Maggie's death. He points out that she might be bluffing, and she suggests that he not take that risk.



Maggie wakes up with a start and calls for her father. She speaks of feeling like she's being watched, and we see Barnabas staring out the window of the old house. Sam reminds her that the house is surrounded by policemen.


Willie paces in the garden at Collinwood when Julia returns. She tells him that Maggie is safe. She tells Willie about the letter she told Barnabas about, and then admits that it doesn't exist.


In the old house, Barnabas ponders whether Julia is lying to him. He decides she was in fact lying, and resumes his plan to kill Maggie. Suddenly he hears the London Bridge music, and he calls out mournfully to his sister Sarah.


Joe arrives to see Maggie with the doll from Dr. Woodard. Maggie wonders aloud if Sarah knows who kidnapped her. She then feels a strange warmth, and asks Joe and Sam if they feel it. She slowly drifts off to sleep.


Willie thinks to himself that Julia didn't fool Barnabas. He's sure that Maggie will be Barnabas' next victim. He decides he has to warn Maggie, but then admits that he can't.

Joe and Sam stand in the woods. Joe suggests they should get Maggie out of town as soon as possible. Sam agrees, and says they should return to the house.


Two police officers outside the Evans' place see someone approaching the house.


A figure appears outside the door to Maggie's room. The police shout, followed by several shots fired. Sam and Joe rush in, and a police officer says they shot someone five times.




Our thoughts

John: Wouldn't it be funny if Julia's letter was in the hotel safe next to Sam's!

Christine: Julia and Barnabas continue to be a delight to watch when they are sparring. I loved her cheshire cat grin when he declared her the victor.

Congratulations, Doctor. Once again, you seem to have the upper hand. -Barnabas

John: If you were lying to Barnabas, would you really choose Willie to confide in? Something tells me that decision is going to come back to haunt Julia.

Christine: She may not fully understand the power he has over Willie that would enable her to realize why confiding in him could be a mistake.

John: Barnabas having a discussion with his internal monologue was certainly awkward.

Christine: As was his blubbering over sister Sarah shunning him.
