Julia throws the switch, starting the experiment. She turns knobs randomly, and Carolyn convulses. Then she screams. Julia tells Barnabas to mind the oscilloscope. Carolyn calls to Adam and he approaches her. Barnabas tells Adam to stay back, and tells Julia says the signal on the scope has collapsed. Julia checks Carolyn. She says if the mate doesn't come alive in 60 seconds, Carolyn will die. They all proceed to watch the second hand sweep across the face of the clock.
Barnabas says if the life force is leaving Carolyn, it should be going to the mate. He tells Julia to turn it off before Carolyn dies. She shuts it down and checks on the bodies. She then grabs a syringe and gives Carolyn a shot to revive her. Adam asks what's wrong. Barnabas explains the experiment wasn't working, and Carolyn was in danger. Adam says he will take her upstairs. Barnabas tells him to leave her alone. He picks her up, and tells Barnabas to get out of his way. He steps aside, and Adam takes Carolyn upstairs. Julia tells Barnabas that Carolyn reacted differently than he did. If she stays unconscious, her chances are slim. Barnabas tells her to go upstairs and save her. He says that if she dies, there will be no stopping Adam.
Adam lays Carolyn on the bed in Josette's room. She wakes, and he tells her she'll be all right. She asks what happened, and he mentions the experiment. He says he should not have let her go through with it. He tells her he had to stop it, because something was happening to her. She realizes that means he doesn't have his mate, and he tells her he's happy as long as she's alive. She says she feels a sharp pain. He offers to get Julia, but she asks him not to leave her. Carolyn describes being alone in a cold empty room with no way out. She says the walls began to crack, and then they fell down. She says she was suddenly surrounded by fog, but she couldn't move. She says she saw hazy forms floating in the air that began to take shape. She says it was a collection of dead things coming towards her, trying to take her life from her. Carolyn collapses again.
Julia comes in and finds Adam cradling Carolyn. She asks what happened. He tells her she was awake, and he told her she would be all right.
She tells him to put her down, and checks her vitals. She tells Adam that Carolyn is dead. Adam gets up and walks out of the room. She asks where he's going and he glares at her before leaving.
Barnabas hears Adam come into the lab. He asks why he's not with Carolyn. Adam tells him Carolyn is dead. Barnabas is shocked. Adam accuses them of killing her, and he tells him that he will pay. Barnabas reminds Adam that she was part of his family, and if anyone is responsible for his death, he is.
Adam tells him he warned him what would happen to Vicki and his family if anything happened to Carolyn, and he starts upstairs. Barnabas tries to stop him, and after a brief struggle, Adam knocks him out.
Julia sees Adam go out the front door. Barnabas stumbles upstairs and says Adam is on his way to Collinwood to make good on his threat. He says they have to warn them. Julia tells him he can't make it, and she can go. She tells him to sit while she goes upstairs to get medication.
Julia grabs her bag in Josette's room, and notices that Carolyn is no longer lying in the bed.
Our thoughts
John: I love how Julia points out that if Carolyn stays unconscious, her chances are slim. So that's your expert opinion, doctor?
Christine: Remember back in the early days when Julia was just an expert on blood diseases and then became part time psychoanalyst? Now she's an authority on creating life. If Dr. Lang could see her now!
John: What a pleasant surprise to see our old pal the dream-curse skull making a cameo in Carolyn's fever dream. And here I thought we had seen the last of him!
Christine: I think we can expect that skull to be repurposed almost as often as Maggie's quilt, which showed up in Josette's room today. But what was up with the goblin head, and will we see that again? Are we to assume that Carolyn's raving about body parts and walls falling down means that Carolyn is remembering whatever Adam's mate had seen before she met her end?
John: Come on. Carolyn, dead? I didn't believe it for a second. Although to be perfectly honest, I was really hoping Julia would find the mummified mate wandering around upstairs when she went to get her bag.
Christine: Adam really has a lot of nerve to blame Barnabas and Julia when he really should be mad at Nicholas for insisting that Carolyn be used for the life force, and himself for going along with it. He also may have killed her just by moving her around when she was in a fragile state after the experiment. Adam is really getting to be an obnoxious lout. Perhaps he's more like Barnabas than he wants to admit.
