Barnabas arrives home and comes downstairs to see Julia in the lab. She asks if he saw Maggie, and he tells her that he got into her house and went into her bedroom, but she wasn't there. He's convinced that Willie kidnapped her.
Willie carries Maggie's unconscious body through Eagle Hill Cemetery. He enters the Collins family crypt and opens the secret door.
Barnabas says Willie and Maggie could be miles away by now. He wonders if Willie told her about the experiment, and then decides she'd assume he was mad. Julia suggests they could get someone else for the experiment, and Barnabas explains that it's impossible. She then suggests that she could provide the life force. Barnabas says she needs to conduct the experiment, and she says they could bring Jeff in to help. Barnabas says he doesn't trust Jeff, and she must conduct the experiment. Julia reminds him that if they don't start the experiment tonight, Adam will go through with his threat.
Willie watches as Maggie wakes up. She screams when she sees the coffin. He tells her it's all right. He apologizes for abducting her, and she asks where they are. He says he can't tell her, and he prevents her from leaving.
She asks why he's doing this to her, and he tells her he's helping her. He says that someday she'll know he's right. She says she doesn't believe what he told her about Barnabas wanting to hurt her. She asks Willie what Barnabas was planning, and he says maybe he'll tell her someday. She tells him she doesn't care if the danger truly exists, and that he has to let her go.
Maggie notices that the room they're in is familiar. She says she's been in it before. He says that couldn't have happened, and she says it must have happened during the two-month period she couldn't remember.
She says someone brought her from her room in Windcliff. She says a woman brought her into the graveyard to see if she remembered being there before. She remembers Julia bringing her to Josette Collins' grave, and then into the Collins family crypt. Julia had asked her to remember what the place meant to her, but she could not. She then felt as if someone would kill her if she stayed there.
Maggie asks Willie why someone would have brought her there, and who would have wanted to kill her. Willie tells her she shouldn't worry about it, and then says bringing her there was his worst mistake. She accuses him of knowing why she was brought there before.
Julia and Barnabas return home. He says Adam will be there as soon as it's dark. Julia suggests that they tell Adam the truth. Barnabas grabs a rifle, and says there's only one way to stop Adam. He says he'll kill him as soon as he walks through the front door.
Our thoughts
John: Boy, Barnabas was a pessimistic brat all day today. Once again he refuses to explore any alternatives, cutting off Julia every time she offered up a suggestion.
Christine: He should know Willie well enough to know that he wouldn't be miles away with Maggie, as he continues to stay close to Barnabas, no matter what happens.
John: You'd think if Willie is willing to show Maggie the secret room in the Collins family crypt, there's really not much point in keeping any secrets from her.
Christine: He can't tell her about Barnabas' plans in the past or present as he'd have to admit his role in assisting with those plans, losing out on any chance he may dream of having with Maggie.
John: If Barnabas is willing to kill Adam, why wouldn't he have chosen to go that route as soon as he threatened Vicki and the Collins clan?
Christine: I think he hasn't been willing to kill Adam because he and Julia realized after Barnabas was buried alive that Adam and Barnabas share a connection. Apparently he has forgotten that now. Hopefully she'll remind him of their link before he goes off half cocked. Interesting flashback to the past today. I was wondering if they used actual footage from the episode where Julia took Maggie to Josette's grave, and then remembered that it wasn't in color. Viewers may note that before Vicki's trip to 1795, Josette's gravestone indicated that she was born in 1800 and died in 1822. The gravestone we saw today shows she was born in 1774 and died in 1795.
