Hoffman enters the storage room upstairs and hands Angelique Quentin's handkerchief. No one saw me come up here, Hoffman assures her. Angelique covers the clay doll with the handkerchief. Hoffman wants to stand outside in case someone comes, but Ang begs her not to leave--stay here with me. Why? asks Hoffman, then realizes Ang is afraid. You find that so surprising? asks Ang. You never were before, points out Hoffman. I have felt the coldness of death, says Ang...my powers--I have never been able to control Quentin as I want to. You will now, Hoffman assures her. It's so difficult, says Ang, I'm afraid I'll go too far. He must only be sick enough for us to send for Maggie, says Hoffman. But if I lose him completely, frets Angelique--he's never reacted the way I wanted him to, I could have controlled him before if it had ever been that easy. You must try, says Hoffman, if you want him. She holds up the pin. "Start now," she commands Angelique.[/spoiler]
Julia tells Barnabas she's pleased with the test results, but he says he doesn't believe her--she'd lie to protect herself and continue her experiments whether they were helping him or not..The good news is real, she assures him, borne out by facts--she has changed the cell structure of his blood. It's working! Everything she believes is at stake, she tells him. "So is your life, doctor," he warns her. "So is your life." Julia tells him to stop threatening her all the time (go, Julia!) How can she gain his trust? He vows that if he feels any further weakening, he'll end the experiment--he's got to deal with Burke, and he needs all his strength to do so.[/spoiler]
