One thing that's funny is with this scene Vicki has been with Barnabas three times within a matter of a few weeks where he's suddenly acted extremely odd and with little to no adequate explanation he's told her to go home (there's this scene in Book 2, Issue 2, there's the scene on Page 16 of Book 1, Issue 2, and there's the scene in Josette's room on the series in hour #4/Ep #3 on the MPI tapes and the DVD release).
