Julia pulls out her medallion, and David tells her that she's the one he saw in his dream. He tells her he doesn't want to look at it, and runs into the foyer calling for Vicki. Julia approaches him with the medallion. Vicki and Liz come in, and Liz asks Julia for an explanation as David runs upstairs to his room. Julia says she was trying to get him to relax when he saw the medallion and freaked out. Vicki describes how it must have triggered the memory from his nightmare. Vicki looks at the medallion, and points out that she showed it to her before, at Maggie's house. She goes upstairs to be with David, and Julia apologizes to Liz for not being able to help David.


David looks into his crystal ball when Vicki comes in. He tells her he's looking for Sarah. Vicki tells him that what happened downstairs was just a strange coincidence. He says it's not. He says that she was the woman in his dream, and he doesn't want her to come near him any more. He says he knows where to find Sarah. She refuses to let him out. He promises that if she lets him go, he'll tell her what he and Sarah talk about. Vicki gives him an hour.


Burke points out to Vicki that it's the second time in a week David had a dream of Barnabas. She mentions that he also saw Julia in his dream. Burke points out that for a historian, Julia always seems to be involved in completely unrelated activities. He asks to speak to David, and is upset when Vicki says that she let him go out on his own. Burke says he wants to talk to David, so he goes out looking for him.


David calls to Sarah in the woods, and she appears to him. She says he saw her in his crystal ball and knew where to find her. He asks her about his dream. He says she told him she was born in Collinsport, and died when she was 10. Burke approaches, calling for David. He asks Sarah to stay there while he sends Burke away.


David finds Burke, but sees that Sarah is gone. Burke says she couldn't have gone far, and David says she's gone. Burke asks about his dream. David tells him that he saw a coffin open up and Barnabas got out. He says Sarah was with him. Burke asks how Sarah could know what happened in his dream. David explains that Sarah is a ghost. Burke says that he just heard them talking. David asks if he saw Sarah when he got closer. Burke admits that he did not, and David tells him that she disappeared.


Burke comes downstairs and tells Liz and Vicki that David's still upset that he made Sarah go away. Burke says David believes Sarah is a ghost. Vicki isn't so quick to dismiss the supernatural. Liz asks if she's serious. She explains what Sarah has done with David and Maggie. Vicki tells Burke that if he's so sure, she wants him to use his investigators to research and produce Sarah to prove she's not a ghost.


Sarah appears in David's bedroom and wakes him up. She asks what his other questions were. He asks where she took him in his dream—the room with the coffin. She says she doesn't want him to go there again. David then says it reminds him of the cellar in the old house. Sarah tells him the old house is not safe. David asks her if Willie kidnapped Maggie. She says he only went to Maggie's to warn her. He says she's got to tell him about the room, and she reminds him not to go near the old house before disappearing.




Our thoughts

John: Sad to see that David is right for a change, and Vicki doesn't believe him.

Christine: I can't believe she'd let him go roaming outside by himself after what happened the last time he did that.

John: Did Burke really need to go back through the door so we'd know he had been up in David's room? I couldn't make out what the director told him, but that appears to be the case.

Christine: Now Burke is suggesting that Julia has a "mad crush" on Barnabas, though I don't understand why he followed up by saying "there have been more imperfect combinations," when Barnabas and Julia seem very well suited to one another.

John: So we finally got an official ghost-effect of Sarah, just in case any viewers at home were, like Burke, unwilling to believe David.

Christine: She lacks so many ghostly qualities that it may take some convincing at this point.
