Julia stops by to see Barnabas as he's about to step out. He says he's afraid David may know too much. Julia says he'll be making a great mistake if he harms him. He explains that David will be spared if he knows nothing, but if he knows too much, he'll have to die. She says she spoke with David, and she doesn't think he knows anything. He tells her to get out of his way, and he leaves.
Sam checks on a gun in a drawer, and then Dr. Woodard stops by. He asks what the emergency was. Sam says he thinks the maniac who kidnapped Maggie would have something to do with the mausoleum. Sam tells how Joe described people hearing voices in the mausoleum, and he wants to go check on it with Woodard.
Sam asks Woodard to come with him to check it out. He agrees, and Sam shows him the gun he's bringing along.
Barnabas works his way through Eagle Hill cemetery, not realizing that Julia is following him.
Woodard and Sam work their way through the cemetery towards the Collins family mausoleum.
Barnabas approaches the mausoleum and enters. Julia follows him in and enters just before he can open the secret panel. He tells her to leave, and she explains that he has no choice but to share this latest secret with her too.
Sam and Woodard approach the mausoleum and see the caretaker. They tell him they're looking for the Collins mausoleum, and he says it's haunted.
Barnabas describes how chains were wrapped around his coffin, and how he believed he was trapped forever. Julia asks where his coffin was, and Barnabas opens the secret panel. He lets Julia in, and showing her the coffin, he explains that if not for Willie, he might have been trapped for all eternity. He looks around for evidence as to David's presence. Julia tells him she doesn't think he'll find anything, as he picks up a broken pocket knife. He's sure this is proof that David knows his secret. Outside, they hear Sam's voice. Barnabas closes the secret door.
Sam and Woodard enter the mausoleum. Barnabas and Julia listen as Sam says he doesn't know where to look. They spot Sarah's marker, and Woodard says that perhaps Sarah truly is a ghost.
Our thoughts
John: I'd better get used to the blue screen shots. I think we're going to see more and more of them.
Christine: Dan Curtis is just a big kid having fun with a new toy. I think it's understandable how he might also want to use the blue screen to cut time and cost on creating elaborate sets. I kinda liked the glowing blue headstones.
John: Funny that the caretaker is standing still when Sam says he sees someone coming, and then he pauses and describes him closer while he doesn't move at all.
Christine: I had to laugh when Dr. Woodard remarked to Sam that something told him it would not be their night. I think it may have been the way that Sam kept awkwardly waving his gun around. I felt a little let down when he didn't accidentally shoot Woodard by episode's end.
John: So the Collins mausoleum has basically become Grand Central Station in Collinsport. Who else is bound to show up? Perhaps Sarah?
Christine: Barnabas may be reluctant to trust Julia, but deep down he must recognize that she's the only real friend he has. Showing her his tomb and relating his story of imprisonment shows that he's regained a little bit of his humanity, which may indicate that Julia's experiments continue to have successful results.
