Samantha talks to Julia about her sister's strange behavior and Julia knows the problem all to well. Barnabas sneaks into Collingwood and leaves a note for Ben. Gerald has the poison and waves it around gleefully. Julia and Ben are at the Old house and it's been long unused. Gerard is talking to Samantha about her future and she will leave her troubled life behind her. I guess so if she's dead.
Samantha is a busy beaver today and finds Roxanne in the Gazebo, but she is gone when they get back. There is some weird editing where Samantha runs off then she comes back and runs off again. Naturally, Ben with his melting face has carried her off to the Old house and Josette's room. Josette is face to the wall so she can't see her replacement. Barnabas shows up and he decides to dispense with the interfering doctor and goes to bite her and Julia at long last will get to be close to Barnabas, but apparently he is unable to get that close and collapses on the floor.
