Tell me what happened, he says--that creep, Willie, what's he done?--he way you're acting, he must have done something. No, says Vicki. What about his friend, McGuire, asks Burke--what's he been up to? Nothing, she says. You wouldn't lie to a guy, would you--unless you thought he was asking questions that were none of his business, is that it? Not really, she says. They must have done something, he insists--what are those jokers up to? Carolyn has to use a gun to keep Willie away, reveals Vicki--she said it was the only thing that stopped him. Then there's only one thing to be done--tell Liz, says Burke. She knows, says Vicki. What's the problem--she gave him his walking papers, didn't she? asks Burke. No, says Vicki, she told Mr. McGuire about it. She told Mr. McGuire about it--are you kidding? asks Burke. No, says Vicki. That's all she did? asks Burke. Presumable Mr. McGuire spoke to Willie, says Vicki. The next thing you're gonna tell me is Carolyn had to apologize--what's going on up there? I wish I knew! she says. I can't believe Liz would allow something like that to happen and do nothing, he says. She did speak to Mr. McGuire, says Vicki. That's next to nothing, he says. Maybe Mrs. Stoddard is right, muses Vicki--maybe we do lead such a sheltered life up at Collinwood that we let people upset us when they haven't really done anything. Perturbed, Burke asks her if she believes that. No, not at all, she says.[/spoiler]
I hope Count Petofi shows up eventually.
Megan comes down and asks, am I to be punished? This is no time for punishment, says Barnabas--you thought what you were doing was right, even though it wasn't, and I understand that--now you must try to understand--what your true responsibility to the boy is. I love him very much, she says, her eyes alight. As it should be, says Barn. Megan gushes, he's the most wonderful child in the whole world, and even though I know what I almost did was terrible, I fear I've let Michael down, and am afraid to face him when he comes back. Michael has caused a great deal of friction between you and Philip, hasn't he? asks Barnabas. Yes, says Megan defensively, but it's only because Philip refuses to understand him, makes no effort with him. And you feel your love for him requires you to do anything he asks you to do, don't you? asks Barn. Yes, says Megan, as if it's a religious experience--how can I refuse him anything, he's so wonderful? You can, says Barn, because your first allegiance isn't to him, but to me. What do you mean? demands Megan. Exactly what I said, says Barnabas. Her face changes--that's impossible, she hisses, he is the one I serve! Are you sure you're all right? he asks--perhaps it's time to--reconsider. Why? she asks, his is the only way, his cause must be served--why do you doubt that? No, I don't, says Barn, I was only testing you, making sure YOU have no doubts--you're very good for him, Megan, but you love him too much, are blind to his faults--love him less, see him as he is, be strong and firm, comfort him, discipline him, protect him--mother him. She goes into Barnabas' arms and hugs him--I'm so glad you came when you did., she says--I only wish Philip could understand me as you do--now, what are we to do? I'll tell you what is to happen now, says Barnabas--do not grieve for Michael. Megan looks ready to start grieving right now.[/spoiler]
