Here's where I thought, "Oh that's why they had that awkward scene about caring about Julia last episode." They were leading up to this ep, in which Barnabas really is relieved and happy that Julia's alright. Not to mention that Barnabas was the one who saved her. I may be one episode ahead of myself here, but it's been a few days. Barnabas definitely shows real-seeming concern. I can't believe good-Barnabas is taking this long to materialize. Has Julia really saved his life often, as Barnabas says?
A certain kind of interesting moment which should have a name: Barnabas has to leave Nick in the house with Julia and Liz while he goes off with Roger to the crypt. He pauses, thinks silently, decides he has to risk it. The last such moment was when he left Julia in the Collinwood drawing room with expiring Cassandra, unsure if she'd whack her...
Tom "dies", Julia recovers. I'd say Farewell Tom, but I think we're not quite done with him. Dom, I don't see Vamptom as intelligent, I see him as almost brainless, a sort of instinctive animal. (Though plenty of animals have their own kind of intelligence.) True he does speak as if he's a bit smarter than human Tom was, but we don't really hear enough from him to know that. Maybe "cunning" more than intelligence, if that makes any sense. Sometimes people claim the former is possible without the latter (though that's questionable, and a big tangent I won't go off on).
Nice to have a happy ending.
