If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Saturday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Eps #459 & #661 (1796) - Joshua - 'The curse MUST be ended!'
The reason that quote is attributed to two different eps is because it was originally said in Ep #459 -
From "#0459/0460: Robservations 04/26/02: Finale"
Uncomfortable, Joshua suggests he's incapable of loving anyone. It could be your salvation, says Barnabas--you can't love me, so you won't be a victim of the curse. (As if he isn't already a victim--he's lost his sister, daughter, wife and, for all intents and purposes, his son!) The curse must be ended, insists Joshua, and he'll do it. He can't allow this to go on any longer, anymore people to die.
- as well as in Ep #661 as part of a flashback when Barnabas was explaining to Julia about the events of his last day in 1796 -
From "Robservations 9/24/02 - #660-661 - A Trip Back to the Past"
Barnabas continues telling Julia that for his father, the agony of that terrible night had only begun--he still had to face the task of disposing of me. Joshua insists the curse must be ended. Barnabas tells him it cannot be ended, but Joshua says it will, and he will do it--I can't allow more people to die

And it's interesting that the Robservations for Ep #661 references a bit of detail ("Barnabas tells him it cannot be ended, but Joshua says it will") that the one for Ep #459 doesn't...
And this is the third quote from these eps. The first was (Joshua - 'You have caused enough destruction. You MUST NOT cause more') back on May 4th of 2021, and the second (Joshua - 'I MUST destroy you!') was back on August 27th.
