If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Thursday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Thursday's quote:
Ep #600 (1968) - Prof. Stokes - 'There MUST be a connection. If there were only some way of making contact.'
From "Robservations 8/12/02 #600/601 - A Chilling Summons"
The Robservations doesn't really reference the quote, at least not correctly. As reading the quote clearly shows, Stokes doesn't say they must make contact. After surmising that there must be a connection between Danielle Roger and the disturbance, Stokes simply wishes there was some way of making contact - and neither Barnabas nor Julia make any sort of remark about contacting whoever it is causing the disturbance. It isn't until after they learn about Philippe Cordier that the idea of making actual contact comes up - and it's all Stokes' idea at that...
And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Prof. Stokes - 'No, you MUST tell us who lives in that house) was back on November 23rd.

Old House - Julia and Barn hear a knock at the door. It's Stokes, who tells them he went to the place Adam was hiding and learned he left there last night and hasn't been seen since. Barnabas expresses hope that's the last they'll see of him, but Stokes isn't sanguine--his instincts tell him not to hope for the best--he's suspicious of Leona, and if she was the reincarnation of Danielle Roger. . . At this, the doors blow open, the candles blow out and the chandelier sways. The curtains billow, and the storm starts up. The three note that if just the mention of Danielle's name elicits this response, they must make contact! The bookcase opens and a book falls down onto the desk. The disturbance stops and Stokes deems it safe to check out the book. He opens it what turns out to be an account of the French Revolution, written by Philippe Cordier, published in 1798. Stokes says Philippe might want them to contact him, so they should hold a seance and find out.[/spoiler]
