With Jeff available, the "creature" should now not be needed. Lang doesn't have to slice off Clark's head or face and attach it to the "creature". Lang can now simply transfer Barnabas's consciousness into Clark's body. Guess that hasn't occurred to Lang yet. Lang is obsessed with the stitched-together thing he considers himself to have "created", so there's really nothing in it for him if he just does a Jeff-Barnabas bodyswap (presumably killing Jeff-in-Barnabas's-body afterward). I guess. A mind-switch should be a huge achievement in itself... Again as with Julia's experiments, they're baffling, since neither doctor could ever reveal it to the world, and publish the findings.
Barnabas's big reformation and moral transformation happens in this episode. It's not complete, but it's the biggest turning point. I didn't really notice it the first time I saw it, since Mr. Frid utters the big line wrongly, saying there's a time when one must "cry enough", making it sound as if he thinks he ought to be crying more. He says it again later, and then in my first viewing I got what was meant. This time, says he must "... cry: 'Enough!'" The confusion really lets all the air out of the scene.
Lang makes a weird case to Barnabas, for going ahead with the bodyswap... do it to save Vicki, since you'll destroy her if you revert.
