Um, welcome (I guess) Jeff Clark. But he does have a nice moment of gallantry when he tells Vicki, You seem to have cared for this Peter. The young man is so bold and courteous at once as to add, I envy him.
Julia's tenacious loyalty in the face of Lang's railroading of her patient is something to see!
Barnabas (wearing striped pajamas, not the usual backless hospital gown) wakes up to find Dr. Lang in his room. We must assume that Barn has had the transfusion already, since no IV equipment is in evidence--or any other kind either, even though he’s supposedly on the critical list.
Barnabas is even more frantic than Julia was about getting home, especially when Dr. Lang says it's four o'clock. But he won't let Barnabas leave. Lang explains, "You’ve had not only a massive transfusion but also many drugs, including certain experimental ones. We need to talk." Apparently the idea of informed consent has not yet made its way to Collinsport. Even if Barn was in no condition to consent, Lang would have had to notify his next of kin, no?
Addison Powell certainly can't resist hamming it up when Lang flings open the curtains as he tells the horrified Barnabas, Yes, it is four o'clock--in the AFTERNOON!
I remember enjoying JF's whole performance at this moment. I also didn't remember that they get right into the next story line, barely a day after Vicki has returned from 1795.
