Gabriel wheels out, and Gerard comes in. She asks him not to start reading her mind, too. He says he knows she can't accept that Tad is gone forever. She shows him the last thing he wrote. Gerard says he remembers him well, sitting on the deck writing. He says he talked a lot about her, how much he loved her. She says she wants to hear everything he said. Gerard says it was Quentin who talked about her the most, and he feels like he's known her forever. She says she'd like to start over, but she doesn't know where to begin. He assures her that he does, and leans in to kiss her. She tears herself away and says she shouldn't have done that. He points out that their loyalty to Quentin is gone.
Gabriel bursts in. She says she has nothing further to say to him. She bids Gerard goodnight and leaves. Gerard starts to leave, and Gabriel says they are going to have a talk, and calls Gerard "Mr. Miller." Gerard asks what he just called him. Gabriel says, "Ivan Miller," his name before he changed in ten years ago in London. He flips through papers and Gerard asks where he got that info. Gabriel lists off crimes including embezzlement, gunrunning, smuggling, suspicion of murder... Gerard says the charges against him were dropped. He asks what Gabriel's point is. He tells Gerard that black arts have served him quite well. Gerard goes to grab the papers and Gabriel grabs his wrist and bring him to his knees. He tosses the papers on the floor and tells Gerard there's another copy in his safe deposit box. Gerard points out that it will end up in the hands of the police if anything happens to Gabriel. Gerard says he could always leave Collinwood voluntarily if he chooses not to be Gabriel's slave. Gabriel tells him to get a large quantity of arsenic. Gabriel says he is not to ask questions.
Roxanne wakes, and gets out of bed. She follows Barnabas' commands.
Roxanne arrives at the gazebo. She embraces Barnabas. She says she will do anything he asks. He says there is a way for them to be together forever. She says she's not afraid. He leans in and bites her neck again. He then lays her body down, and tells her that tomorrow she will be dead, but she need not fear death. He says tomorrow she will be his again, and leaves her body lying near the gazebo.
Our thoughts:
John: Was someone playing a radio in 1840 when Samantha and Gerard were talking? I heard music in the background throughout that scene, and can only assume that was a mistake.
Christine: Your ears must be better than mine, since all I heard was Robert Cobert's music cues. The Dark Shadows Wiki explains that singing can be heard throughout the episode due to interference affecting the audio.

John: After all this Gerard Stiles build-up, we now find out that his real name is Ivan Miller? And that he's basically a common criminal? I thought he was going to be a cool pirate. It sure would have been nice if ANY of this portion of the family history had been documented in the many historical tomes we've been introduced to over the years...
Christine: Ivan Miller seems to be more of a pirate name than Gerard Stiles. He's hardly a common criminal the way he managed to get around to four countries to commit crimes. It was odd to see the way Gabriel overpowered him with his superhuman death grip. With all the close ups on his stress ball exercising, I gather we're supposed to believe he can do some serious damage with his pincher fingers.
John: Not only did Barnabas waste no time in putting the bite on his soul-mate, Roxanne — he went all the way and killed her! What will 1970 Barnabas think of that (when and if he actually I-Chings back to 1840)?
Christine: I wonder how long before Angelique shows up to interfere with Barnabas' happy plans for his eternal life with his vampire bride.
