[spoiler]Sunday's quote:
Ep #472 (1968) - Barnabas - 'You know how it works? The person inflicting the pain MUST have something belonging to the victim.'
From "#0471/0472: Robservations 05/07/02: Attack on Lang Through Roger"
Barnabas, left alone with Lang, takes the harpoon into his hands and explains that Roger was not there for an examination, but to kill Lang!
Lang takes back the harpoon, shocked at Barnabas' pronouncement. He asks Barn if he's lost his mind.No, replies Barnabas--but Roger temporarily lost his. Why would he harm him, asks Lang--Roger is a wealthy man with a rep to protect, why would he kill someone he barely knows? Barn explains Roger had no choice--he didn't know why he was there--Roger was possessed by Angelique. Ridiculous, insists Lang--this witch lived 200 years ago, so how could she reach across time to possess Roger? Her spirit is very much alive and determined to perpetuate the curse, says Barn. Lang, a man of science, doesn't buy this. What about your brutal headache and blindness? Barnabas reminds him--a spell caused by Angelique and executed by Roger from Collinwood via black magic. Roger stole your headpiece, says Barn, returning it to him. I misplaced it, insists Lang. No, it was stolen, says Barn, found in Roger's room. Lang sits down, considering all this information with astonishment. It's true, says Barnabas, and although Roger failed to kill him, Ang will order him to try again.

Even though the Robservations contains a good deal of detail, it doesn't reference the quote at all. However, how and where the quote comes up is after Barnabas explains that Roger caused Lang's brutal headache and blindness by executing a black magic spell and before Barnabas returns Lang's headpiece and reveals Roger stole it...
A bit of trivia: the sequence at the end of this ep when a shocked Barnabas points and says, "Julia, look!" and she gasps as the camera pans the drawing room to reveal that Angelique's portrait is back on the easel was used as a promo for DS in 1986 by the station that ran DS in my area. I thought it was an odd choice. Yes, it's definitely a thrilling and pivotal moment in the story for those who are watching - but anyone who wasn't watching would have had no idea what the big deal was. It might have encouraged non-viewers to watch the show in the hope of finding out. But it wasn't that the promo ran to promote Ep #472 - it ran to promote the entire series for a period of several weeks after Ep #472 had already aired. Anyone tuning in because of that promo would have had to figure out on their own what the moment was all about and who knows if they ever would have been able to depending on how long a period had passed between the time Ep #472 had aired and they came into the show?
