Julia stops in to see Mr. Peterson. He says he's on his way to court and unavailable. She says it's a matter of life and death. She says that if he doesn't take the time to see her, someone may die. He says the judge may murder him, but he'll see her. She asks to see her notebook. He assures her that no one has touched it. He opens the safe, and cannot find it. Julia is alarmed. He tells her not to worry, that it has to be there. She asks if he stole it—if he's part of the conspiracy. She says she never should have trusted him. He stands up and hands it to her, saying it was under some papers. He tells her to take it, since she doesn't trust him, and she begs him to put it back in his safe. He says that his clients must trust him, and a moment ago, she accused him of stealing from her. He says she should find another attorney. She pleads him to lock it back up, and he agrees to lock it back up. He asks her what kind of trouble she's in so he can help her, and she says no one can help her. He replies, 'no one?', and Julia realizes that Sarah can help her.

Maggie brings out a cake for Joe when there's a knock at the door. It's Julia. She asks Maggie if she can borrow the doll Sarah gave her to protect her. Maggie explains that it disappeared several weeks ago and she hasn't been able to find it. Julia says she was hoping Sarah would appear to her, as it's vitally important that she appear to her. Joe asks if she's in some kind of trouble. Julia says she is, but no one can help her but Sarah. Maggie says she only ever saw her in her bedroom, and Joe says she always appeared to David by the old house. Julia says she can try her final resting place. Joe offers to accompany her to the Collins family mausoleum, and she says that she must go alone. Joe asks if she really thinks Sarah is a ghost, and questions that she needs the help of a ghost. Julia tells him that she does—desperately. Julia leaves and Maggie says she hopes she's not in real trouble. Joe says not to worry too much—Dr. Woodard didn't trust her. Maggie feels bad that she seems to be all alone and in danger.

Julia approaches the mausoleum when the caretaker startles her. She says she's come to pay her respects to the Collins family ancestors. The caretaker says this place is cursed. He says strange and violent things have happened here, and she would be wise to stay away. She says she's looking for a little girl who plays here. She asks if he's seen her. He says if she finds her, tell her to stay away, as she's in danger here. He starts to wander away, and Julia hears London Bridge playing. She calls to Sarah. She asks the caretaker if he hears the music, and he says he only hears the wind. He warns her one last time as he leaves. Julia enters the mausoleum and calls to Sarah.

Joe notices Maggie is trembling. She says she's sure something strange and frightening is going on. She asks Joe if he thinks the trouble is starting again. Maybe the trouble didn't end when Willie was captured.

Julia calls to Sarah asking why she won't appear to her. She suddenly feels cold and afraid, and as she gets up, Sarah appears. She asks if she can trust Barnabas. Sarah says she'll have to find out for herself. She says she won't tell anyone anything about Barnabas. She asks Sarah if she'll protect her if Barnabas tries to harm her. She says she knows who she is, and what she did to Dr. Woodard. Julia explains it was Barnabas, and Sarah says she helped him, and she shouldn't have. Sarah says she liked Dr. Woodard. Julia asks her to protect him if Barnabas tries to harm her. Sarah says she has to go, and disappears.

Our thoughts
                                                               
John: Peterson assures Julia that no one has touched her notebook, but didn't we just see Carolyn touch it a few days ago? I think he was just toying with Julia, as there's no way he would have had so much trouble finding it in his safe.

Christine: I think he was toying with us, so we could wonder if Barnabas worked some of that magic he learned from the warlock in Barbados to get the notebook back.

John: Funny how Joe and Maggie so cavalierly refer to Julia as Dr. Hoffman. Makes you wonder if anyone is curious about why she's still hanging around Collinwood under false pretenses.

Christine: She told Liz she'd be leaving in a week back in Episode 356, so she'll probably be around Collinwood for at least a few more months of episodes.

John: Was this the first time Sarah speaks her brother Barnabas' name? Nice to see her take a more active role for a change. Who would have thought that she would have developed such a bond with Dr. Woodard that she'd hold his death against Julia. Of course, if Woodard's ghost were out and about, you think Sarah would know...

Christine: If she loved Dr. Woodard so much, then why didn't she show up to stop her brother from killing him? Her snitty little attitude towards Julia doesn't wash when she could have done something to prevent the murder.
