Jeb's dead! And right at the start of the episode! How do they know he didn't survive though?
Here comes Barnabas's latest theory justifying a supernatural jaunt: Maybe PT will somehow help with his vampirism. Really, that's all he says. Why would it help? A tacet reason may be avoiding killing Sabrina, and just generally giving his RT world a break from his bad self for awhile. [spoiler]And it worked, considering that the Summer of 1970 was later revealed to have been the only truly happy time that we ever hear about for Collinwood.[/spoiler] BC may see PT was "unreal" so, plenty of not-quite-real people to feed on, no conscience problems...
Did Sky think Nick's ghost would make him rich again? Megan knew not to let a good blood-bag on legs like Sky go to waste, at least. But, the important thing is that Sky's dead. Two dead weasels in one episode, there's value for money. And again, the only times Barnabas finds any joy in life are when he's stalking and killing someone he thinks deserves it. He actually smiles. I wonder if acting on violent impulses gives a similar boost to his neurotransmitters or something, as feeding does? This is such a violent death that it's amazing a TV "hero" did it.
Carolyn's dream is awfully funny at the end I think, because Jeb said he was going away, and he leaves by falling backwards unconcernedly over the cliff again! I imagined variations on this: He should have perhaps yelled "Goodbyyyyye" as he fell, his vocal pitch dopplering.... Or "Be sure to pick up my dry cleaniiiiiiing..." He could have pinched his nose with one hand, then crouched and sprung off the cliff as if doing a comedic cannonball into the ocean, possibly yelling "Last one to die on the rocks is a rotten eeeeeeegg" or something.
